THE WHEAT PRICES. Some disappointment is bound to be manifested at the failure of certain influences in congress to give the price of wheat for this year a big boost. -Buch was attempred and there was talk of boocting it all the way from ten to 70 cents a bushel over Iast year'’s fizure of $2.20. As long as this agitation was kept producers who have wheat that has not been gold were bound to lock out for No. 1 by keeping it off the mar- ket, and until some price was fixed those who are interested in the pro- duction were kept in an uncertain state because the.priee could be low- §38RE Cof HERL 2 d ‘tompany ought te under- stand’ that the provislon of the boats cannot be delayed untl]l it is found that the canal cannot be put to its full use because of a lack of boats.

Thus President Wilson by his proc- lamation in making the price for 1918 the same as for 1017, $2.20 a bushel, * has put an eénd to this uncertainty. He has given them a basis for deter- mining their action regarding the dis- posal of sueh gurplus as they may have and for guiding their activities regatding the coming season. The price unquestionably gives the pro- ducer a fair profit and it at the same time gives consideration to the inter- ests of the consumer. It is only nat- ural that the producer should endea- vor te gel all that he possibly ean but thers can be little question but what the price which the prassident has fixed deals with the matter on a basis of fairness, and knowing what he can depend upon in the market the wheat growers with good profits held out to them should make every endeavor to roll up as large a crop as possible for the present year. There can be no doubt but what it can all be disposed of and the opportunity cannot wisely be overlookéd for personal and na- tional reasons. TIME TO PREPARE.
