ing TO word from Washington. Con-
gresham Christopherson remains on

from the third district west of the
Missouri river has been assigned TO
the committees on mines and mining,
irrigation of arid lands, and expen-
ditures in the interior department.
The first two committees are obvi-
ously important assignments in his
district where there are large mining
interests and thousands of acres un-
der irrigation. He drew good posi-
tions on all of these committees.
The expenditures in the interior
department is a matter of ronsider-
able Importance as this department

dian affairs, pensions, patents, edu-
cation, geological survey, recIama-
tion service, bureau of mines. nation

HOOVER OPPOSES
SENDING CATTLE
THINKS 1T MORE SENSIBLE AND
NECESSARY To SEND CON-
DENSED MILK TO GERMANY.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Sterling received a protest from
South Dakota relative to the recent
shipment of cattle to Germany donat-
ed by former Germany citizens resid-
ing in Hutchinson and Bon Homme
counties Knowing that Secretary
Hoover is well informed on condi-
tions in Europe. Senator Sterling sub
mitted the letter 10 Mr.. Hoover for
his comments and is in receipt of the
following reply:
MY dear Senator: l am receipt of
your letter regarding the shipping of
cattle. in charity, TO Germany.
There seems to be a complete mis-
understanding and lack of adequate
knowledge on the part of the people
who are making this charitable en-
deavor as the shortage of dairy prod
ucts in Germany is not due TO the
shortage of cows themselves but 10
a shortage of feed.
Germany has transformed its
planting of feed grains into bread
grains and vegetables since the war
and has not been able 10 import the
usual amount of cattle feed either
during or since the war.
"If anyone wishes to give charity
TO Germany they can accomplish
much more in other directions than
by shipping cattle, for if they send
cattle they should send feed with
them and keep them supplied or their
dairy production will go down just as
with the existing cattle in Germany.
AS a matter of fact, the sensible
thing would be TO ship condensed
milk. The sending of more cattle in
TO Germany at this time does not in
crease dairy production one atom II
simply means that more COWS have
to eat the same food.
"The whole transaction is foolish.

economic point of view"
