Northwest farmers to press Congress on food control plan
Delegates from Fargo area grain growers will plead before the House Agriculture Committee for BiH 4630 to seize terminal grain elevators and run them for producers and consumers during the war. They seek regulation of grain exchanges to curb gambling profits and hope to meet the president. Attending are J. M Anderson, Pendray, Crown, J. E. Kell, Holman, Lyman, Bennett, Drake, Gaston, Randahl, and others. A corn push urges planting large acreages to avert feed shortages amid a drier forecast for the season.
