| Breaking up a concerted attempt
lby Brown county farmers to defy
food regulations by boarding their
wheat, the food administration has
uncovered 5000 bushels of wheat
j held by ninety farmers, has forced
the offending farmers to give S5,SOO
to the Red Cross and to buy $1,395
lin War Savings Stamps, it was an
nounced today, says The Minneapolis
! Journal
! The campaign in Brown county
was handled by Vivian Il. wye, d
i special field representative OF the
food administration.
i Mr.. WYE declared today there was
|evidence of deliberate and concert
i ed defiance of the food admlnlstra-
ltion's order 70 market wheat by May
lib. Most of the offenders are resi-
dents near Sleepy Eye, others resid-
ling in the Springfield and Hanska
districts. Resistance was quickly
1 broken up, said Mr.. wye, when it
became apparent that Uncle Sam was
in earnest. "a
, "The men who were openly oppos-
j ing the government became very
, meek overnight sold Mr.. WYE.
HTheir one desire was to do what was
wanted, to do it quickly and to do
something in addition. 1t was no
longer necessary to visit them in the
country. They came to town willing
to report and to ask what should be
) done''
| In lieu of punishment under the
boarding law, each offender was re-
uuired to make contribution to the
; Red Cross and in some instances TIC
, / purchase War Savings Stamps, until
the total of the fund contributed by
! wheat hoarders of Brown county
reached $500 today.
