Semi-weekly herald., 1917-10-01

purpose Of supplying the army and
navy requirements in the least pos
sible expense to the government.
That some time in October the
committee on supplies for the gov
ernment will advise Mr.. Wilson the
quantity of pinto beans they will re-
quire for say October and Novem-
ber.
That the various shippers Of beans
will be advised of the requirements
OF the government and it will be as
certainsd whether they are willing to
allow the government to set a price
upon this product.
From the foregoing it would seem
advisable that the farm bureaus of
the San Juan basin should apply for
membership in the Rocky Mountain
Bean Jobbers association and get in
line to market the bean crop of this
section.
The matter of bean cleaning ma
chinery should receive our immediate
attention, that our product may 20
upon the market in acceptable con-
dition.
