Government Bill Would Back Price Support for Wheat Farmers
Washington faces a heated debate as the Food Administration sends to Congress a bill to authorize a $1.25 trillion program guaranteeing farmers $2.20 a bushel for 1919 wheat.

Authorities say the plan aims to save the treasury from loss while supporting farmers amid uncertain international demand and stocks.
