Government to Guarantee 1919 Wheat Crop Price
House Agricultural Committee chairman Lever said legislation to maintain the government wheat guarantee for the 1919 crop is being drafted. It would authorize the President to continue the Food Administration grain corporation or form a new agency and create a $600 million revolving fund to buy, store, and sell the 1919 crop at world prices. The move aims to honor farmers though potential losses are anticipated. World stocks in Australia and other nations could influence prices.
