North Dakota wheat growers. whose
product once more challenges the at
tention of the nation, came forth

embargo. but dominating their COM
lnent was view that If other wheat
states joined In the move better prices
would result.
Most Of the farmers, however, saw
failure In North Dakota's lone attempt
to boost the price Of wheat.
Their impressions, solicited at ran.
dom from farmers In all sections Of
the state, are . mixture that range
from strong support to emphatic dis
approval Of the governors attempt to
keep approximately 100000. 900 bushels
OF wheat within the states borders.
Some farmers cheered the COVER
nor's drastic action designed to raise
the price Of grains, as we'll as adver.
tise nationally 1.-THE sad plight Of the
farmer" Others strongly disapproved
Of the embargo.
Expressions Of sympathy With the
governors move were mingled with
doubt as to the wisdom Of the action
What Farmers Say
Here are some Of the expressions:
Ray Schnell, three miles southeast
Of Dickinson: "A good idea. It will
help to keep farmers from selling at
present low prices"
Glen Cassidy, south OF Dickinson:
IT more states would fall in line BE-
iieve the idea would be worthwhile"
Rudolph A. Reider, Missouri Ridge
township, north Of Williston: IF other
hard wheat states join the embargo
the plan should prove effective. Other
wise do not see how it can help the
situation
H. G. Blankenship. north Of VIII
liston: Cant see how the embargo
at this late day will do any good, es-
pecially without similar action by
other states"
Vernon Grant, Barnes county: THE
embargo would only tie up business
and be Of little help to farmers as
little grain is moving now anyway"
Erick Noltimer, Barnes county: 1T
IS an unwise move unless other states
In the northwest declared similar en-
bargoes."
Will Bring Notoriety
Hubert Powell, west OF Grand
Forks: Il do not think the governor
will be able to enforce the embargo
and nothing but notoriety can come
from 1t. The terminals have enough
wheat to supply the mills for another
year"
Arthur Gregoire, south OF Grand
Forks: with the MIRA boosting prices
on everything. something will have to
be done for grain. do not think
q single state embargo can accom-
plish much: II all the states took SIM
liar action 1t would do something.
Peter E. Perkins, south Of Grand
Forks: IT the embargo can force
North Dakota farmers to hold their
spring wheat, think it will be the
finest thing ever DONE"
J. M. Kelly. near Devils Lake: II
am for the embargo and believe one
should be put on all farm products.
G. w. BUTTE, near Devils Lake
while the embargo will have little
effect toward raising the price OF
wheat, It will reveal to the east the
desperate plight Of the farmer, who
Is now desperate"
A. L. Eggert, south Of Mapleton
Cas- county: The embargo Is oil
right II all spring wheat states would
join.
Specifies Two IT'S
r. G. Hoppin. southwest Of Fargo:
If the embargo really could be made
effective and II the federal govern
ment will continue to buy cash wheat
It might boost the price Of cash wheat
It can't create an immediate short
age"
Mark Andrews. northwest Of Faro:
