Warning to Farmers.

The United States Food Adminishra-
ton has long since issued call to all
farmers to market their wheat at once.
There are some farmers in Wright
county who still have a large part OF
their wheat. This is violation of
the U. s. Food Administration Regula-
riOns.
This wheat is now subject to seizure
by the Food Administration. In case
it is necceary to seize this wheat the
farmer will be subjected to punishment
for violation of food regulations as we'll.
If you have more wheat ON hand
than is necessary for your own use for
exchange until harvest you must notify
your County Food Administrator at
once. He will assist you in the dispos-
oil of it. A number OF farmers have
already been reported to this office and
immediate and vigorous prosecution
will be started at once. This is suffi-
cient warning.

ederal Food Administrator Wright Co.
