lots, 292 indicated "yes'; and 39
said "no." There were no spoiled
ballots.
However,, another 282 farmers

that they had grown wheat for
sale in the past two years or
were growing it this year. These
votes were placed in sealed en-
velopes and forwarded to Tor-

ties are not known.

in the 5 year history of the On-

Agency was made on January

Mr. McInnis stated, "would not
have been possible without our
