No discrimination under the food
regulatory laws of the United States
can be made in favor of country ele-
vators, Herbert C. Hoover, national
food administrator, last evening ad-
vised the state railway commission in
response to its wire requesting more
detailed information on the subject of
the thirty-day clause whose attach
ment to North Dakota storage tickets
was suggested in circular letters mail
ed elevator companies of the state by
Mr. Hoover.
Applies Equally to Both.
The regulations with the suggested
provision applies equally to country
and terminal elevators" says Mr..
HoOver's wire. 1--WE expect to ap.
proach the question of preservation
of seed grain stores in the northwest
in connection with the agricultural
department. But the provisions as
to thirty days storage are framed to
remove the possibility of utilizing pub
lie properties for boarding OF grain.
Would be glad for your cooperation" "
Would Deprive of Rights. ~
~ This ruling would deprive the farm
er Of the right guaranteed him in the
original draft of the food administra-
ton bill to hoard his own produce. It
would also take away the right guar
anteed in the original draft of. suing
the government should the price paid
by the latter upon taking over the far
mer's grain not prove satisfactory
The clause which Hoover suggests to
be attached to the storage ticket is
in effect surrender of the farmers
interest in the grain, subjecting it to
sale at the market at the end of thir-
ty days. BY thus waving his rights
the farmer who stores his grain under
the agreement proposed by Mr.
Hoover would forfeit his right to sue
the government ii his wheat is sold
at a ridiculously low and unfair price
The Seed Question.
Mr.. Hoover's promise that the az
ricultural department will interest it.
self in the seed question is not con-
soling. Once the farmer who has no
storage capacity of his own places
his prime seed wheat in a special bin
in the nearest elevator he has no Ger.
tainty that he ever will see it again
North Dakota grown ,droutkpr
wheat may be sent into the terminal
markets and ground into flour, while
the farmer gets back next spring seed
wheat which is not at all suited to
conditions prevailing in North Da-
kOta.
Cooperative Elevators.
Farmers Cooperative elevator com.
panies may succeed in ignoring Hoov-
el's order by storing seed wheat for
members only. The food bill, unless
this clause has been eliminated, spe-
cifcally gives the farmer the right
to hoard for himself his own produce,
and as co-owner of a farmers ele-
vator company, the farmer may be
held to be using his own storage ca
pacity for his own wheat.
Situation Unsatisfactory.
The situation as it now stands is
not at all satisfactory, and the rail-
way commission hopes to succeed in
presenting to Mr.. Hoover evidence
which will convince him that his thir.
ty.day storage clause would prove
harmful
