CONSERVATION COMMITTEE
OF ASSOCIATION WANTS
LOWER FEED PRICES
Sends Telegram to Representatives in
Congress Asking for Setting of
Price f Mill Feed-Will Tend
to Lower Corn and Dat Prices

The Conservation Committee of the
War Work Division of the Minot AS
ISOLATION Of Commerce took shot at
the mounting prices of mill feed Fri
day by sending the following telegram
to Senators P. J. McCumber and A. j.
Gronna, Congressman P. D. Norton,
Geo. NJ. Young and j. M. Baer, and
E. F. Ladd, Food Administrator of
North Dakota, and United States
Treasurer John Burke: Fry .ega cm-
"On behalf of the farmers of the
western part of North Dakota and the
eastern part Of Montana please urge
Food Administration to set reasonable
prices on mill feed. Our farmers
must buy all of their feed and are now
having to pay nearly as much for feed
as they get for their wheat. It will
be necessary to bond in western North
Dakota counties to finance farmers
for feed and seed and a reduction in
mill feed prices will help to encourage
the farmers to seed large acreage
next spring. The ground is now COW
cred with snow and unless feed can
be bought at reasonable prices lot
Of stock will be lost. Quick action is
necessary. ,.s-
"Conservation Committee, ..a
;'Minot Association of Commerce :"
The cause of this action was due to
the increasing price Of mill feed dur
ing the past week, when it was raised
in price about $1,000 per ton, nearly
reaching the price per pound that the
farmers received for their wheat this
past year. Furthermore, the price Of
mill feed had something to do with the
high price of corn and oats.
Therefore, to reach the end desired it
was necessary to have the price of
mill feed lowered. The millers are
also at disadvantage to comply with
the orders of the Food Administration
with mill feed SO high in price. The
price for flour has been set by the!
Food Administration, but the mount
ing price of mill feed gives them more
profit than they are given by the flour
order and it means an entirely new
basis for figuring. Nine-tenths Of the
farmers in this part of the country
have their winters supply of flour, so
shat a lower price on flour will not be
a real benefit to them, while the re-
duction of the price of mill feed will
be an actual boon to them.
The Conservation Committee in
tends to keep mighty active in the fu-
ture, and is cooperating with State
Food Administrator E. F. Ladd in
every way. In fact, DR.. Ladd is COM
ing to the city next Monday almost
entirely through the efforts of the
Committee, together with the request
of Mr.. A. B. Dill, the member Of the
State Economy Board for Minot.

Hot Meals on the Wing.

Since the only practical way by
which the passengers of an airplane
can have Il hot drink or hot food is
through the use Of a vacuum bottle or
jar the idea has been suggested that
the manufacturers of aircraft would do
well to build into their machines a
number of pockets or wall cases for
vacuum bottles, so that the latter,
filled with pre-heated food could be
carried in safely-Scientific American.
