Fixed Wheat Price Not Max or Min Says Hoover
In early statements to the American public Herbert Hoover described the price fixed by the price committee as neither maximum nor minimum, but the government purchase price for wheat. He warned that the price depends on export demand and submarine conditions, with scarce ship capacity and uncertain foreign markets. Amasa P. Peake’s report details international crop prospects and U.S. stock limitations, noting flour reserves could feed about 20 days without exports. A wedding item follows, noting the marriage of Jessie Cornelia Ivey to Charles John Pickens in Fitzgerald, Georgia.
