Market and price guarantees for wheat set by food administration
New York April 26 Offic ers of the food administration grain corporation say the government price guarantee to wheat growers can be made effective without hurting the market or the treasury. President Julius H Barnes notes crop indications show wheat will trade in the government fair price basin. The plan allows market prices above the fixed schedule without government price influence, with potential resales to cover differences if demand requires. Barnes stresses the need to reflect resale rates in bread costs and notes spring wheat season may affect forecasts. The grain administration plans to keep staff largely the same as last year.
