Mr Coupland leads Nebraska defense council efforts on fixing wheat at 2.20 dollars a bushel. He argues the price supports a profitable crop year, ensures seed affordability for 1918, and gives farmers confidence though government buyers may dominate the market. Accidents aside, households may rely on Dr Thomas Eclectic Oil in emergencies.
