WHEAT CONTROL

INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION

PREDICTED

SY CABLE—PKEHS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHI

(Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.) OTTAWA, July 15. Mr J. R. Howard^ president of the American Farm Bureau Association, speaking at Winnipeg, predicted that the day would come when the United States, Canada, and Australia would form an international organisation to control the world's wheat supply and feed the nations unhampered by the gambling influence. Mr Howard invited members of the Canadian Council of Agriculture to attend an association meeting at Chicago, which will discuss ways of making k the middle and western States independent of the Chicago Grain Board. Chicago is dealing in grain futures to-day for the first time since 1917. December sold at 273 cents per bushel and March at 274.

The Canadian Government has decided that the Wheat Board shall not sell the new crop, reserving power to resume should conditions abroad mate this course necessary in the public interest.
