Sell Wheat Now
Oklahoma City, Oct. 7— Flour
will cost the consumer less in
the next thirty days. This is
the hope held out by Julius H.
Barnes, president of the federal
grain corporation, in the city
Monday. Barnes' predic t i on
came at a conference attended
by Oklahoma millers. It will
take that long for the prices on
flour and wheat as fixed by the
government, to become recon-
ciled, according to the federal
agent.
"By that time the merchants
and the millers will have gotten
rid of the flour manufactured
from the higher-priced wheat,
and there should be a consider-
able reduction," said Barnes.
Oklahoma wheat growers were
told by Barnes how the fixing of
the price of the present wheat
crop at the basic rate of $2.20 f.
o. b. Chicago would inure to
their benefit if they sold now.
He said that if peace should
come in sixty days and the wheat
supply of Australia, India and
Argentina was released, the price
would drop heavily and the
American producers would be
losers.
Several times thru the address
the speaker emphasized the fact
that there was no chance for an
increase in the price of wheat
fixed by the commission. He
urged that the grain trades and
agricultural interests adopt an
attitude of self sacrifice and self
denial, and help the government
win the war
