as equivalent to about seven 0ne-poupd

quests by the Food administration,
which asked farmers and thresherIHen
to reduce harvest losses from abou:
81 per cent-the estimated average

bic minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendation for accomplishing |
the results desired.
