unanimous in declaring for united
action, end
Whereas the U. S. Grain Growers Of
North Dakota have also in said ref
erendum vote declared for state Unit
in North Dakota, and whereas the
sentiment among members of the u.
S. Grain Growers in North Dakota
is strong for hundred per cent pool
of grain, and whereas in every essen
