The federal farm board indicated today that it believed wheal grow ers would be wise to refrain from crowding the markets with their producis at this time. The board announced it had made no statement, nor does It in tend to forecast in any way con cerning the proper price of wheat for the market year, and described the present tendency toward over crowding terminals and trauspor taiion facilities as "unfortunate." The statement, to which verbal amplification of any kind was re fused, was interpreted as advice to wheat growers to hold back their product in order 1 hat better dis tribution may be effected but wit li mit the assu motion ()f the bo;itd 1 of any responsibility for llio even tuality of wheat prices. Tile text of the board's slate ment toduy. given out after the closing of the grain exchanges, follows: "The federal farm board Is lieiug besieged by telephone calls, lee Hrams and letters regarding over crowded terminals and 1 rauspui ta -tlon facilities for (he handling of ivjieat. This excessive crowding of wheat onto the market has created U far Wider spread between v;tyl wheat prices and prices of when sold for future deliveries than usually exir-iiK. pr, "The federal farm board has made no state men) or forecast whatsoever concerning a proper price for wheat for this market year nor does it propor-c to do so. but under condition which exist this season when all reports agree on u substantial reduction In world supply as compared with last year, it seems 11 11 fortunate to crowd wheat onto the market faster thui existing facilities can handle It. resulting In rar;h prices which niv much lower than contract prices for future delivery."
