FURTHER GUARANTEE ON WHEAT DOUBTFUL The continuation of the minimum guarantee on wheat after July 1 ad vocated by I'matllla county farmers. looks extremely doubtful, according to reports from Congressmen Chamber- min. MeNary, Hawley snd .Sinnott, read at the Farmers Union meeting in Pendleton Saturday. Representative Hawley and Senator Chamberlain both reported that they are, practically certain that congress will not consider any- further price fixing legislation. Representative Sinnott reported the same condition. Senator MeNary explained in his re port that with the expiration of the food control bill, congress considers it advisable to cease f Ixlnc t he price Jon wheat. t.'matllta county farmers jare still in favor of the continuation of the guarantee because of the freight ; rates. At the cessation of the gUHran I tee. farmers in the northwest will not t receive as much money as those in the middle west because of the difference in freight rates. Protests against ce- sation of the guarantee have been ma it y, Pesi des the readlnc- ot the reports from the congressmen, other business 'a the farmers' union meeting includ I ed the endorsement of the higher ed , u. stlon tax bill, the two-mill tax bill i and the soldiers a hi bill.
