I i 1 i i 1 i Ottawa, March 16.--The Western! farmers are not satisfied with the! British offer of $1.30 per bushel for| the Canadian wheat crop. The Can-| adian Council of Agriculture which{ has been in session at Regina has re-| ported to Sir George Foster that #he! crop should be. sold at $1.50 as a minimum price and a maximum price of $1.90 for No. 1 Northern! A-1 Winnipeg or, failing that, a flat | price of $1.70 on the same basis at| Fort William The other grades | down from No, 1 Northern would be] valued according to milling and bak-| ing tests. » The British offer was for $1.30 for No. 1 Northern at Fort Wiliam so that the Western farm- ers want no less than forty cents a bushel mere than the Imperial au- thorities have offered. On the basis of an export crop, say of ome hun- dred million bushels, this would mean that the Western farmers ask forty million dollars extra from the British Government. Sir George Foster, as acting Prime Minister, will transmit the offer of the Council of Agriculture to Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George, but there is little likelihood of the British au- thorities agreeing to pay forty cents a bushel more. Considerable surprise is expressed at Ottawa at the action of the farm- ers in view of the pressing necessi- ties of Great Britain for foodstuffs. There is a strong feeling: that they are endeavoring to hold up the Brit- ish Government, : GERMAN WITHDRAWAL FASTER THAN EXPECTED London, March 16.--Brig.- Gen. Frederick E.
