Farmers Urged to Fight the Combine in Northwest
Walla Walla, February 7. Farmers in the Walla Walla valley circulate letters alleging a milling trust in the Northwest is forcing up flour prices while lowering wheat value. Issued from Coeur d Alene by Whitman county farmer Y C Mansfield, the letters accuse Portland meeting attendees of advancing export flour prices and depressing wheat, urging government action and farm aid against monopolistic control. Mansfield argues government support of production wastes taxpayers money while more direct milling industry control could shield farmers and consumers. He calls for awakening public demand to reclaim ownership of their crops.
