These PREPARED TO TAKE OVER ENTIRE 19177 WHAT CROP Prices If Necessary to Stabilize Throughout the Year. Washington, Aug. 15.—The food ad- ministration prepared today to take over the entire 1917 wheat crop if necessary to stabilize priees through- out the ‘vear. It formed a fifty mil- lion dollar corporation, with all ef the stock held by the federal govermment, o buy and seil wheat at the principal terminals. The move was. the first of a series to be taken to reduce the price of bread. Millers already have agreed to put themselves under voluntars regulations and sre working out with the food administration a differential of profits. Distribution of flour by wholesalers and the baking of bread will be taken up next. The hope of the food administration is to establish a scale of prices from the farm to the grocery store, elimi- two units, with the Fifth, which has been at Fort Getty for the past four days, will form a battalion under Major Nash. The mebers of the two outfits did not have the labor camp, as the Offigers who camp at Getty decia model city of canvas. artillery are now at Greble. of re that it i establishing, tents were already up. have inspected the ne: The village is laid out with three streets.

The maintenance of a stand- ard price for wheat, its officials be- lieve, is the first and most necessal step. The wheat corporation will be put under the administration’s grain di- vision. Its chairman will bo Herbert C. Hoover and its president Julius Tarnes, a Duluth exporter, now serv- ing as a voluntary aide in the food administration. The price fixing com- mittee will be headed by President Garfield, of Williams College, and will comprise twelve members, represent- ing producers and consumers. The wheat corporation will handle all allied zrain purchases and will do the buying for the American gov- crnment. 1f found advisable, it also will_serve as broker for the milling interests, purchasing wheat for the flour miils to keep the market steady. The allies will be required to pur- chase flour instead of wheat on the theory that manufacturing costs will be reduced and American industry encouraged. All of the grain men who are taken into the food administration’s grain division will disassociate themselvés from business interests and will give their entire time to the government vithout remuneration. Authority ip license grain eleva- tors and milling concerns was' given {formally to the food adminjstration today in a_proclamation by President Wilson. Mr. Hoover hopes that op- eration of the licensing system will make unnecessary any extensive gov- ernment purchase of wheat except for the government itself and for the al- lies, More than 100 representatives of Chamber of _Commerce, President|70ards of exchanges and elevator President Frank L.
