Period

This specific permit valid 1944 to 1945.

Canada

Threatened overtaxing of storage facilities prompted rigid restrictions being imposed on deliveries from the 1941 and 1942 crops: these were adjusted in subsequent years. Individual quotas were based on a specified number of bushels per authorized acreage, ie. the acreage entered in the farmer's permit book. Subsequently, quotas per acre were adjusted regularly based on storage facility availability and crop demand. [Ref. 1]

Function

Specific: Grants holder authority to deliver goods of specified type and quantity to specified location.
