FARMERS To
RECOVER FINES
MINI. FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
@ ADMITS ILLEGAL PRACTICE /,
BY SUBORDINATE

St., Paul Minn.-A. D. Wilson,
Minnesota food administrator, has
promised to return to farmers of
southern Minnesota every cent which
they were forced to give to the Red
Cross or pay in fines to Videon wye,
agent of the food administration,
whose terrorizing campaign against
the farmers last summer has shocked
the state.
Wilson made his promise to the
farmers following meeting Of Nc
Leod county farmers at Glencoe.
He made the promise after admit
ting that wye had no authority to
confiscate the seed wheat of farmers,
force the farmers to turn over the pro-
ceeds to the Red Cross, and to impose
'sfines" with the alternative Of going
to pail or paying a fine Of $4,000. He
made the startling declaration that
wye had never reported single fine.
Disposed Of Proceeds.
Without any legal justification
young wye swooped down upon the
farmers, most of them busy thresh-
ing and wherever he found 18 pounds
or more of wheat or screenings, after
sweeping the bins he ordered the men
to leave their work, haul the wheat to
town, where he sold it and disposed
Of the money as he saw fit.
Most Of the money he donated to
the Red Cross, but part Of it went to
himself and his helpers for expenses,
when his legitimate expenses either
were or should have been paid by the
federal government.
In most Of the cases he imposed,
besides taking all Of the money from
the sale Of the wheat, fines ranging
from SO to STA for expenses.
He accused the farmers Of being
horders when he knew or should have
known, that no farmer holding his own
grain could be considered hoarder.
Regular "Hoarder"
The ardent wye found six bushels Of
screenings in the granary Of F. Proef-
ke, Glencoe, after he had forced this
farmer, under threat Of Imprisonment
and $4,000 fine, to sweep out all the
cracks. Proefke was taken to town,
fined and froced to give $125 to the
Red Cross. III
Otto Neubarth Of Glencoe was
threshing when young WE and his
driver arrived. He informed them
that he had sold all of his wheat.
with his usual vigilance when deal
ine. with farmers, Wye went TO the
granary and then returned, ordering
Mr.. Neubarth 10 leave his work I'M
nediately sack up his wheat and take
.it to town.
After sweeping UP the four corners
sof the bin, he found 10 pounds, i've
pounds of which proved to be screen
inRs, dust and 80 forth. The Is pounds
sold for 46 cents, which under orders
~ we were taken tor the Rcd Gross.
