STATE TO
AID FOOD
HANDLING
Farm Products This Year
Worth Greatly More Than
They Were Year Ago.

Conservation of Minnesota's food
supply and an increase in the agri-
cultural productivity of the state as
an aid to the nation in war is a ques-
ton which will be given serious con-
sideration by state officials.
To carry on this work Governor
Burnquist will call food production
conference as soon as the safety COM
mission bill now before the legislature
Is passed.
1t will be the duty of this confer
ence to ascertain as nearly as pos
sible the exact food status of the
state. present and future.
The governor says he is not ac-
quainted with the exact details of
the safety commission bill. and will
not send a message to the legisla-
ture asking for its passage until he
has had time to examine 1t more
fully.
The bill offered by Senator Sullivan
provides for an appropriation Of ST.
100000 for the use Of the public safety
commission during the war. 1t prob
ably will pass the upper house Of the
legislature without much opposition,
the finance committee having recon-
mended favorable action on it.
Other legislation affecting the war
probably will be considered, including
amendments to the state militia laws
permitting an increase in the number
OF regiments of the Minnesota Ma
tional guard. Governor Burnquist has
consulted Adjt. Gen. Fred B. Wood and
others on the necessity for making an
Increase in the state militia, and it is
expected that such amendments as are
offered also will be passed without
much opposition
