Price Committee Compromises After Several Days
Washington Aug 30 The price for the 1917 wheat crop is fixed at 2.20 a bushel under Wilson on Garfield committee recommendation. The vote reached a unanimous close after days of debate with producers favoring 2.50 and labor at 1.84. The plan aims to stabilize markets, reduce living costs, and keep flour and bread prices down while the government and allied purchases shift to a wheat corporation broker system. The panel predicts criticism from farmers but urges support as wartime duty, noting wide factors from cost of living to production costs. Amy Evenson leaves for Green Consolidated School to teach this year.
