NO WHEAT TO SELL
Hence Government Order Will Not
Hurt Poor Farmers.

Wichita, Kan. April 15.-The order
of the government to sell wheat by
May l or face requisition as a war
measure will not work a hardship on
poor farmerSfi as they have no wheat,
according to information gathered by
the Unit"d States food administra-
ton.
This was forcibly shown in a re-
port filed here by Fred Tate, United
states secret service operative, who
sas counties to investigate reports of
soli their wheat Immediately after
threshing
Iate's visit to Pawnee county was
in response to a report that a certain
rich farmer had boosted he would
, not turn back flour he had purchased
| last fall He said if the government
tried to force him to make returns
he would use his shotgun. Another
farmer ridiculed his neighbors for
eating corn chop" He said he would
not eat Victory bread.
When Tate arrived the man with
the shotgun readily surrendered his
flour and said he had not understood
the importance of returning it. The
also gave up 400 pounds of flour al
| the fifty-fifty plan.
Pawnee county has re-esta blshed
| its reputation for loyalty and un-
salfishness. 1t will be recalled that il
was Pawnee county which gave LOCO
