U.S. Will Control Entire Grain Supply
The food administration formed a $50 million corporation to purchase the 1917 wheat crop and stabilize prices in the United States. It aims to take over the harvest if needed, back allied purchases of wheat and flour, and open agencies at major wheat terminals with no commissions beyond operating costs. A committee led by President Garfield of Williams College will set the wheat price for both private and government sales.
