Exemption Of
w heat Limit Is
Asked OF AAA
State r. & w. Commission
Cites Declining Wheat
Crop as Reason. afti

A determined effort to have Min
nesota spring wheat growers, and
those of the neighboring states of
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, exempted from the wheat re-
striction clause of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, was launched last
week by the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission.
A resolution, citing the fact that
wheat production in these states is
steadily declining; that it has never
amounted to over-production, and
that the wheat growers of these four
states would have to eliminate some
six million acres of wheat in order
to share in the benefits of the AAA,
has been forwarded to the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Washington.
The resolution, signed by Harold
Atwood, chairman, Charles Mum and
Hjalmar Petersen, members of the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, suggests that every
consideration be given to the appeal
of producers of hard spring wheat
for, and their exception to the pro-
posed reduction in acreage"
at is not the purpose of the Com
mission" Atwood said, ''to oppose the
program or benefits of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act in any way.
We simply maintain that, due to a
steady decline in wheat production,
the producers of these four states
have actually been ahead of the AAA
crop curtailment program and that
they are therefore entitled to eXemp-
ton from the wheat acreage allot-
ment set up under this act.
"Our resolution also calls the at
tention of the Department of Agri-
culture to the fact that our state grain
inspection service is supported en-
tirely on a fee basis, which means
that any further decline in the amount
of wheat marketed would have to
be met with higher fee schedule for
the inspection services rendered.
This, of course, would be a direct
burden upon the wheat growers.
Minnesota farmers, who approve
of the Commissions action, Atwood
said, can aid their cause materially
by writing to the Department of Agri-
culture, endorsing the resolution and
strongly urging that it be given favor
able consideration.

Did you see the ball game Sunday
between the N. P. S. Club and Moose

local boys carried off the honors by
score of 2 to l. Howard Williams

Einard Edin did not get to the game

All are urged to come and see the
game.

about it. The date has been set as
September 3, and the wheels will
