Approximately $500 bushels of
wheat held by 100 farmers of Brown
county in violation of the order of the
food administration that all wheat be
placed upon the market not later than
May Is, was turned in this week under
orders of Vidian B. wye, special agent

in At the }, state. The offenders made con.
tributiOns to the. American Red Gross

I'm making an investigation of a
report to- the office that an individual
in Brown county near Sleepy Eye, had
q quantity Of wheat stored, it was
found that the farmers of the whole
section were generally in possession of
wheat that should have been marketed
in May" says Mr.. WYE ''Those who
were thus openly opposing the govern
ment repented when the first two or
three men were ordered to bring the
wheat In, and it became evident the
food administration meant what It said.
Penitent individuals voluntarily brought
their wheat from all sections, and
asked what they. should do to show
that their misdeeds were regretted.
The investigation will continue until
the entire county has been cleaned up;.
he :said, and will be transferred to
|:other$ sections after that" ;. ;.

I'm order: to minimize the effort that
must be put upon the preparation of
meals for men doing the heavy work
Of haying and harvest upon the farm,
the: state food administration believes
that it is proper to raise the pound
per: month flour limit to farm workers
during this season.
''County food administrators are
therefore authorized to grant permis-
sion to farmers employing extra labor
and working long days to purchase up
to 10 pounds per capita per month of
wheat -four, provided they purchase
this on the $3.50 basis just as they have
in the past
''The question of labor lisa very SER
ious one and in view of the, crop pros
poets it would appear to be justiiable
to relieve as much as possible the extra
labor that is forced upon the housewife
in the preparation of foods that must
be substituted for wheat flour in salts
flying the appetites of men and women
doing the strenuous work of haying
and harvest"
