immediate steps are necessary to in
sure farmers Of the Northwest enough
fuel to thresh their crops, Governor
Preus told a group of coal operators
and retail dealers and civic association
officials of Minneapolis and st. Paul
at conference called by him in the
office Of the Hanna Coal company.
The normal needs for threshing in
the Northwest are 100000 tons, he
said, and at the present time there
are only 100000 tons on the docks at
the Head Of the Lakes. Dealers stocks
also are low, the Governor was in
formed, and he will determine the ex-
act amount of their stocks by circu-
larizing them.
aside from the needs of the rail-
roads, who must have coal to trans
port coal, the most immediate need for
fuel in Minnesota will be for thresh-
ing" said Governor Preus. "A special
kind of coal is required. Coke cannot
be used. Oil cannot be used. Straw,
the next most satisfactory fuel, will
not go far. Farmers of the state must
have coal, and this is an immediate
