PRESIDENT WILSON
PROMISES PAIR WHEAT
PRICE FOR 1011) (HOP
On September _ President Wilson
gave out the following memoran
dum:
In issuing today the government's
guaranty of the same price for the
1919 wheat crop that was guaranteed
for the 1918 crop I wish it to be un
derstood that in the spring of 1919
I will appoint a disinterested commis
sion, who will secure for me the facts
by that time disclosed as to the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies, using the three-year pre-war
average prices of wheat, of labor,
and of supply costs as a basis, and
that from this Information 1 shall de
termine whether there should be an
Increase in price above the present
level, and, if so, what advance, in
order to maintain for the farmer a
good return. Should it then appear
that an increase is deserved over the
present guaranty, however, it will be
applied only to those who have by
next harvest already marketed their
1918 wheat.
It is the desire and intention of all
departments of the administration to
give the wheat grower a fair and
stimulative return in order that the
present acreage in wheat may be
maintained.
I find a great conflict of opinion
among various sections of the coun
try as to the price that should be
named as a minimum guaranty. It
must be obvious to all, however, that
the factors which will make for in
creased or decreased cost of produc
tion of next year's harvest can not bo
determined until the near approach
to the harvest.
In giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern
ment) there is'involved a consider
able national risk. If there should
be peace or increased shipping avail
able before the middle of 1920, Eu
rope will naturally supply Itself from
the largo stores of much cheaper
wheat now In the Southern Hemi
sphere; and therefore the govern
ment is undertaking a risk which
might In such an event result In a
national loss or as much as $r,00,
--000,000 through an unsalable sur
plus; or, in an* event, In maintain
ing a high level of price to our own
people for a long period subsequent
to freedom in thy world's markets.
Despite this, the desirability of as
suring a supply to the world of prime
breadstuff* by Insuring the farmer
against the fluctuations In prices thai
would result iron, the uncertainties
of the present situation and from the
speculation those uncertainties en
tail, seems to me to make the con
tinuation of the guarantee for an
other year desirable. On the other
hand, it is clear that before increas-
Ing this liability by large sums with
the risks sot forth above, and before
increasing the burden of the consum
er, the matter should be subjected to
searching Inquiry at the appropriate
time -the time when the pertinent
facts will be known.
l feel confident that with this pre
liminary fixed guarantee, and with
the assurance that justice will in any
even! be done to the grower, he will
continue the fine patriotic effort by
which lie has served the country
hitherto; that the government will
have acted prudently; and that the
consumer will bo satisfied that his
Interests are not unduly sacrificed,
but just and exhaustive consideration
given to every element of the matter
at the proper time.
WOOI'ROW WILSON.
IIKXKWKI) TESTIMONY
No man in Pullman who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Pullman man's twice-told story. It
is confirmed testimony that no Pull
man resident can doubt.
C. S. Stone, carpenter, 607 High
St., says: "My kidney trouble came
on from a strain while at work. A
year ago last winter 1 had a great
deal of trouble from my kidneys;
they were weak and dull pains
through them caused me torture. 1
was advised to use Doan's Kidney
Pills and I found them to be just
what 1 needed. They took hold of
the trouble at once and I was soon
free from the pains and other
troubles." i siae given June 0, 1913.)
OVER THREE YEARS LATER
Mr. Stone added: "1 still use Doan's
Kidney Pills when 1 have need of
a kidney medicine and they never
fail to help me. 1 praise Doan's at
every opportunity."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

COST OK PRODUCING Will \i
11"' averago cost of wheat produc
tion was estimated at $2.25 a bushel
by B, ii. Thompson, acting chief of
the bureau of farm management,
testifying before the senate agricul
tural committee, Mr. Thompson
said, however, that most or the
wheat produced cost considerably
less and that even with a further In
crease of 10 per cent in oats the
farmers of the central west should be
able to break even at tho primary
market i.i-i. of $2.20 fixed by the
President for next year's crop.
In the north central states tbe
cost for the crop year of 1917 ran
from $1.50 to *;;.;, a bushel, tho
committee was told, while tor a ma
jority of growers there the cost
ranged from "i.;.» to $2.b0 a bushel.
"Then to stimulate production you
would have to fix the price above
that amount?" asked Senator Norris
of Nebraska, referring to the aver
age cost of $2.25 a bushel. "Most
assuredly," was the reply.
"Isn't tho cost increasing constant
ly and now at. a very rapid rate?" tho
Nebraska senator again asked.
Mr. Thompson said from present
indications the cost of the 1911 and
1919 crops would be much higher.
He estimates the cost of producing
the 1917-1918 crop was from 60 to
86 per cent greater than that dur
ing the pre-war period.
"Can wheat in the central west be
produced at a profit with the Chicago
priced fixed at $2.20 a bushel,"
asked Senator Norris.
"Judging from information we
have and with normal conditions the
hulk of the grain cau be produced
at a profit," Mr. Thompson replied.
Taking into consideration the
freight charges and grade of wheat
produced Senator Norris called at
tention to the fact that to many
farmers in the central west $2.20 a
bushel at Chicago would mean only
a price of from $1.90 to $2 a bushel
to them. Mr. Thompson said, how
ever, that investigations made by the
Department of Agriculture showed
that with an increase of 10 per cent
in cost it would be possible for farm
ers in thai section of the country to
produce without loss even at those
prices.
