On motion, the Clerk was instruct

the Governor of the State:
To the Honorable J. E. Erickson
Governor of the State of Montana
Believing that it would be a grea
service to Northeastern Montana, W
hereby strongly recommend that
State Laboratory be established q
Bainville for the purpose of testin
the Gluten contents of wheat.
The laboratory at Great Falls
too far away to be of very much SCI
vice to us in this section and we fee
that it would be an immense benef
to the farmers of Northeastern MOI
tana to have a gluten test laboratoI
at Bainville.
