S|ioknn* — A telegram urging that $2.60 be fixed as the minimum price for th* 1917 wheat crop to the farmer at primary markets was sent to C. S. Barrett, national president o f the Farmers’ Union and a member of the government wheat committee, Wed­ nesday, by 126 representatives of farmers’ onions of Washington, Idaho and Oregon, meeting here. It was urged that low yields, increased cost o f production and the coot of reeeeding justified that price, which it was de­ clared would entail no increase in the price of flour, as this now ia figured on the basis of $2.50 wheat. The yield generally over the three states will be 40 to 60 per cent of normal, it wa# re­ ported. About 76 per cent o f the wheat crop and 100 co-operative warehouses were represented by thoee in attendance, it was said. A. V.
