Is No Reason for High Price of Wheat Secretary Wilson, in a statement Saturday, declared that there is sufficient wheat in this country at normal prices to make bread for the American people up to the time the new crop arrives and that those who attempt to keep prices up at the pre sent rates expect to get their money out of the common people, the con sumers. He added. "The large majority of wheat, however, has left the hands of the farmers and a fictitious price has been created. The farmers are not the beneficiaries. Next year they will naturally plant more whea when the gamblers will not be in the market and mischief will be done by a disturbance of the crop system The reporters of the Departmen are farmers who know if any one does the actual facts.
