THRESHERST0

AN AGREEMENT
Council of Defense Will Assure
Fair Price, But Eliminate
Profiteering

The North Dakota Council Of De.
Tense in the near future will set the
date for statewide conference OF
thresher-men to be held in Fargo,
Grand Forks, MinOt or Bismarck, or
perhaps in all of these cities, to agree
upon threshing rate. In Kansas, it
is reported, farmers have been held up
for a threshing fee Of so cents per
bushel Held down to fixed price Of
81 20 for their wheat, the farmer is
unable to pass this boost in cost along
to the consumer. The North Dakota
Council of Defense wishes to guard
against threshing pr0fiteering in North
Dakota. At the same time. it realizes
that threshermen are entitled to an
increase. Prices have remained al.
most stationery since 1911, when
wheat sold for a dollar. In the mean
time the costs of machinery, men and
materials have advanced. The pur.
pose of the proposed conference is to
agree upon an equitable rate by which

"This is low tide in the banking

North Dakota as there is no grain

today. Heavy withdrawals from de-

by the banks themselves, for the pay

greatly reduced cash reserves and de-
