Topeka, Kan., July 18.—Kansas
farmers will hold 100,000,000 bush­
els of wheat this year, or 25,000,-
000 bushels more than the entire
crop of 1913, according to W. H.
Mitchell, National vice-president of
the Farmers’ Society of Equity.
Mr. Mitchell is organizing the
farmers of Kansas and urging them
to hold their immense crop for
higher prices. Sixty-cent wheat in
Kansas has become the rule and has
turned the thoughts of the farmer
to the possibility of holding his
grain. When the organizers arrive
in a community, they find little
opposition to the idea of holding the
grain, Mr. Mitchell said:
“I do not believe mrve than one-
fourth of the wheat grown this
year will be sold,” said Mr. Mitch­
ell.
Grain bins of frame and cement
construction are being rushed all
over the state, and in many places
wheat is being piled on the ground
by farmers who refuse to accept
present prices for it.
The Farmers’ Society of Equity
is campaigning for dollar wheat,
but the Kansas members will sell
grain for less than that figure, it is
generally believed. Most of them
are preparing to hold for higher
prices tlian the 60-odd cents now
offered, however.
