Government weighs wheat price ceilings and parity plan
The piece discusses proposed wheat price ceilings of 2% and 82% cents, government reluctance to raise prices due to higher costs for flour and living expenses, and Searle Grain Company’s suggestion of paying farmers 1.20 for Northern wheat at Fort William to match parity. It notes objections about production shifts, counters with government controls via quotas. It also mentions Roosevelt extending parity bans for basic commodities, and Canadian and international barley and wheat market signals. Local notices list holiday visits by Winnipeg and Yorkton residents and New Year greetings from Fort William and Brandon residents.
