Government Sets No 1 Northern Wheat Price at Two Twenty
The government fixes No 1 Northern spring wheat at 2.20 per bushel in Chicago after three days of committee deliberations led by H. A. Garfield. Farmers and labor reps debated 1.84 to 2.50 before agreeing on the compromise price amid war needs and consumer costs. Greenfield calls the price satisfactory for Montana. Lowrie calls it a disappointment.
