Excerpt from Should Maximum Prices Be Fixed?They took from the farmer all his oats and half his barley, they took from him, theoretically, or could take from him all his wheat and rye, except certain portions left with him for his own family. But the relative prices tempted the farmer to sell barley as such and to feed the wheat and rye to his live stock. The farmer was requisitioned for half his barley and the other half of his barley left to him to do with as he pleased. He sold it and then turned around and fed wheat and rye to his stock instead of barley. The Government has each year dis covered a difference of or more tons of rye and wheat between the crop estimate and what they finally secured. In theory they confiscated those grains, in practice they could not. They did not have anyone to send to the farmer for the grain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
