PROTECTING WHEAT GROWERS.
r V PROCLAMATION' Hie president has .fixed the
liiiniiinini lirii-e for wheat for 1919 at the lirevalinn
S'-liedule with $2. '20 a bushel as a base. A eoiiiiiiissimi ttii
be named next spring will determine wliethei' the wheat
grower is entitled to a higher price on aeeoiint of ihe in
creased cost of production.
The action is taken to encourage a larger planting
of wheat by guaranteeing Ihe market. The fanner who
plants is assured of his fixed market and stable price,
whether tho war ends or not, and the loss if any, will be
upon the government and people. Jf the war were to end
suddenly, there would be a collapse in tho price of wheat
that would spell disaster to the grower unless he was
protected by guarantee.
There is no dearth of wheat in the world but there is
a dearth of ships to transport the wheat. There are half
a million bushels ih Australia and India, awaiting export,
and a new crop being harvested. There is an exportable
surplus of over !")() million bushels in South America
hut there are no ships to send it in.
Tho British government guarantees the growers in
India and Australia : cents a bushel lor the wheat thev
hold for shipment, while they are holding it, while South
American wheat can be bought at l..i(i a bushel. If the
war ends, and the ships busy transporting army supplies
are released, Australian, Indian and Mouth American
wheat will flood the world's markets and the price will
drop and only the guaranteed government price, which
can be protected by tariff barriers, will prevent a sudden
slump in the United States which will prove injurious to
growers.
J he. senate cabal which has repeatedly attempted to
force a $2.50 price for wheat upon the countrv, which
would mean addit ional cost to the people of $:587,00O.OOO.
will prohably renew its agitation for a higher guaranteed
price or none at ail which latter could only work injury
To the producer as the tormer does to the consumer.

At Hiallo lonilil and tomorrow.
If you don't fully understand the
present system of sugar conservation
and distribution, read on; it may
help you know what is expected of
you by the government concerning
your use of this commodity, and as
sist you in your shopping arrange
ments. First, last, and all the time
(regardless of what tho various rea
sons are) a strict ndhnreneo to the
food administrator's regulations on
Ihe uso of siigiir is a service that
vitally assists tho "hut ion's war pro
gram. Accept Unit us an absolute
fact now, and later lcurn llio various
reasons at your leisure; you will find
It an Interesting lesson In transporta
tion problems and economics, anil II
may give you an even livelier Inter
est in the ways that wars uro won.
Tho first regulation Is that no per
son shall consume nt Ills meals more
I linn pounds of sugar within each
:tu days, and purchases for homo uso
must bo limited to this amount ac
cording to tho millibar In the family.
For instance, If there nro three in the
family, the total consumption of
sugar, for both table use and cooking
must not exceed li pounds for each
niuntli. Town residents, no matter
how many in the family, cannot pur
chase more than 2 pounds at a time:
country residents more than ,"i pounds
at a time. It can bo purchased as
often ns necessary during tho month
In theso amounts, provided the max
imum amount does not aggregate
more than would eiiuat 2 pounds per'
person in tho family for that month.
This Is in addition to your running
sugar.
For canning, sugar ran only bo
bought In lots of 2.1 pounds, or less,
at a time. The first 2,"i pounds can
lie obtained direct from the merchant
without ii permit from the county
food administrator. Subsequent
purchases for canning (no matter
hou many in tho ramil.vl can only be
Hindu after obtaining a permit from
the county food administrator or as
sistant. There la no rule about what
can lie used per mouth for canning;
this allowance Is luiseil on Hie num
ber In tlie family. For the present.
Ihe total ii u :i M ! 1 1 v for running during
(his entire season that will be Issue!
lo any family Is what would equal
about 1,", pounils for each person In
the family. If an additional allow
ance Is authorized later, duo notice
will be given thru tlie press.
Hired help and others citing regu
larly at Ihe homo are counted as a
nieint'cr of Ihe lamlly in making
these allowances.
