Show WAREHOUSEMEN AND FARMERS DISAGREE Senator W. H. King to Confer With Federal Grain Corporation on Price of Wheat to Raisers. In an effort to briiig about an adjustment ad-justment of differences between the warehousemen and the farmers of Utah relative to the market price of wheat and thereby avert possible serious losses of wheat in the state, Senator W. li. King will go from Washington to New York to eonfer with the federal grain corporation. The senator, according to information from Washington, has been advised that there are sharp differences between be-tween the farmer and the warehouseman warehouse-man over the price of wheat. The warehousemen ware-housemen contend that, under the price for Utah wheat fixed by the food administration, ad-ministration, they cannot pay the farmer a price which he contends is fair. The farmers are refusing to sell their wheat at the prices offered by the warehousemen. The farmers have little storape capacity, ca-pacity, and unless there is an adjustment adjust-ment of the differences there is apt to be a serious loss of wheat, it is said. The federal grain corporation has jurisdiction juris-diction over such matters, and Senator King proposes to see if this corporation corpora-tion cannot adjust the differences so that there will be no loss of wheat in Utah. |
