sftion. The resolution sets forth that

HOOUe,
To Assist
North Dakota Farmers to Ask Food
Administrators to Use His influence
To Facilitate Return OF soldiess
For Work.

+. At the Shorthorn breeders annual
sale In this city last week, President
Wilde of the State Live Stock associ-
alton suggested that something should
be done to relieve the northwest labor
situation, and the suggestion resulted
in the immediate drawing up by j. D.
Bacon OF a petition to be signed by
farmers all over the state asking
Herbert c.. Hoover, federal food ad-
m~inistrator, to use his influence for
the purpose Of securing the release OF
farmer boys in the military and naval
service Of the country. for work on
the farms as soon as the government
can spare them.
Copies of the petition are being sent
to all ~postmasters and county agents
throughout North Dakota, and farm
ers can sign them by applying to
these officials.
The a for making this move is
the desire of planting a full acreage
in 1919 and also of having the stock
we'll taken care Of during the winter
as many farmers are selling their
stock because of the lack of help,
b. What Petition States. ;
Following is the text Of the petit
ton which will be forwarded to Mr..
Hoover as soon Is it has received a
sufficiently large number Of sigma
lures: T}
1--WE, the undersigned members of
the State Live Stock Breeders asso-
citation, and farmers Of the state of
North Dakota, hereby recommend
that you use your best efforts to see
that the farmer boys in the United
States service be released at the earli-
est possible moment the government
can spare them, in order to insure
the planting of a full acreage in 1919.
Many Of the farmers are selling
their live stock, because of the lack of
help to take a OF them this winter.
ION account Of the shortage of
farm labor in this state during the
harvest and threshing season, we were
unable: to get very much plowing
done this fall, consequently if a large
acreage is planted in 1919, it will be
necessary to have more than the aver
age amount of help in the spring"
