At he meeting 81 threshermen a,
GrandSFoorks on July 27sathS question
Of f~urnishing the requisite food Of
good quality for the ~threshing crews
was considered at considerable length.
It was clearly pointed out that the
conditions are such in cooking lfor the
average threshing crews>that It Is
Impossible to use the wheat substi-
tutes on account Of the lack Of time
and equipment as we'll as due to the
fact that oftentimes the cooks are not
highly skilled In the cooking art. 1t
was therefore decided to formerly re-
quest the, food administration to waive
the rules q relating to this matter
and the following resolution was
drawn by Messrs. Poupore. George
son and Duis, which was unanimous
ly adopted and signed, by the men
whose names appear below.
Resolution requesting action OF the
food administration:
Whereas, the problem Of furnishing
food to the threshtng crews Of this
region Is q most important one, and
Whereas, one Of the principal arti-
cles Of food is bread and the condi-
lions under which the same is pro-
vided for threshing crews are such
that 1t is impossible to make the neces-
sAry bread II the present regulations
regarding four substitutes are en-
forced. E{s NJ
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
threshermen of Grand Forks county,
that the food administrators be re-
quested and urged to permit the use
