New Form of Propaganda
Is Hampering Red Cross

Carlisle. Pa. May 15.-Officers of
the Carlisle Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross have taken up with
Federal agents in this vicinity the
latest form of pro-German propa-
ganda which has hampered Red
Cross work in an auxiliary of the
Carlisle organization. According to
a report widely circulated near Car
Isle, men who enrolled for the Red
Cross were subject to a tax of SIS at
any time and women could be
drafted for service anywhere in the
United States or in France. a
sweeping denial of the story has
been issued and efforts will be made
TO push the persons responsihle.

tysburg College was still a great
event because of the presence of
William Howard Taft, eX-president

musical clubs concert. no class day,
no alumni collation., no reception

up the program of the week, the

the graduating exercises of to-day.
Another noticeable feature was the
smallness of the class. only about

 .'The following facts and figures are taken from report made to food Ad mlUstrator Hoover on the production and distribution of milk in six states, the investigation covering 490 farms and 9,i6l cows. In estimating the cost of production there are taken into ac- count the items of labor. feed and equipment and it is found that the cost ranges from s2.SS to $4.24 a hundred

the average course the November price should be S4.24 per hundred for 3.5 per cent milk. These are the actual figures for production.
 Cost for Product
 At time like this" said Mir. Stew art, while we are at war the dairyman is willing to take cost for his product. He is patriotic enough to stay in the business. But in 1917 the dairyman of this valley got an average of s2.14 for per cent milk or s1.S7 for 3.5 per cent milk. Just now the Maricopa County Dairymen's association is making an effort to ahve a price established by the government that will justify them in staying in the business and that will encourage and stimulate production and to this end, F. w. Elliott chairman of the state food conservation. is now on his way to Washington to intercede for the dairymen in having a price es- abolished. We hope to get price ot s3.50 for 3.5 per cent milk It may be necessary for the creameries to in crease the price of butter But iron information we have, the condensearies ] can afford to pay S3.50 hundred fol

3.5 per cent milk and still make a good profit on condensed milk
 The dairymen's association wants to make it plain that it is not fighting the creameries and condenseries but is simply struggling for existence. And. unless We can get better prices, the dairy industry of this valley will join the beet sugar industry. l understand that one creamery had turned back to it 800 cows within the last 50 days and that another received back from dairy
 men who could not make living from them. more than 1,200 head of cows. We have also learned that the dairy cows of this valley have been going to
 the butchers block at the rate of 1000 month. It is not an industry that
 can quickly be re-established for it takes four years to produce a dairy COW.
 We may not be able to produce as much butter under an established price
 of milk but the condenseries can handle | it. Another condensery is being estab- lished at Glendale and the Maricopa creamery is installing one. From al figures at hand. the condensery car

to be worse at this time next year. Offers of $20 a ton for the first crop of this years alfalfa in the field have been made and it is easily predicted that by next winter alfalfa will be sell ing at from $30 to $35 a ton. Under these conditions, said Mr. Stewart, and with the present prices dairymen are paid for their product, they cannot re- main in the business.
 Said Mr. Stewart: "The dairyman does not get half as much for his milk as he could sell the feed for. Pro lessor Clothier, who has been here rep resenting the government in an inves- tigation as to the cost of producing milk, found in 70 dairies where cost

easily pay sa.5o a hundred for s.5 per cent milk
 Relating to this, here are some fig ures from Hoard's Dairyman:
 100 Pounds to Case
 Tt takes 100 pounds of fluid milk to make a case (of AS one e-pound cans). The price is named as being paid for fluid milk in the Elgin district of s2.36 per hundred is GA cents less than the cost of fluid milk fixed by the govern ment. When the government pays S5.12 case for milk this is cost plus 10 per cent or 4I cents a case net profit allowed by the government to the con- denser The price of S2.36, the Elgin price would be profit of $1.11 case"
 Now let us apply these figures and see what the condenser really makes. Let us take a condensary whose out put is 1000 cases per day which is the admitted output of a condensery like that of the Carnation company at En- erson. At 47 cents per case. his profits would be $171.500: at S7 cents (price paid here,) $317.550; and at S1.11 (the Elgin price.) s405,1 ,150."

FRANK R. STEWART TELLSABOUT
 GROWING PROBLEM OF DAIRYMEN

The dairymen of this section read with great interest Saturday morning the investigation of the milk situation in Chicago and the Elgin district which they recognize as similar to their own. It brought from Frank R. Stewart. one of the leading members of the Mari copa County Dairymen's association, a reiteration of the statement that the dairy industry in this valley is in a bad way and facing extinction unless re- lief comes from the federal govern ment
 The causes are several. Among them is the giving so much of the land to cotton and the high price of feed. Bad as the latter condition is it is certain

of eondenseries said MT Stewart: The government under it's arrangement with the condenseries takes ten per cent of their output at s5.12 a case. The market price to he retailer is S5.io a case. At the price of milk here, the total cost of manufacture of a case of condensed milk would not exceed $40 so that there is a clear profit of S1.35 a case A 1,000-case condensery costs S175,000 including operating capital. At a profit of $1.35 case, the profit for a day is s1,350. It would seem that part of that immense profit should go to the producer that his industry might be kept alive.''
