CHEMISTS FROWVO|V
NEW DRY MEASURE
REGISTER OBJECTION TO AT.
TEMPTS TO RESTRICT LEGI-
INNATE USE OF ALCOHOL
IN INDUSTRY,

Washington, ID. c., May l9.-Rep-
resentatives of chemists who appear
ed before the house judiciary COM
mittee today to give their views con
corning the bill TO strengthening the
Nolstead law, particularly as to the
sale of medical beer, protested
against legislation which they said
tended to restrict the legitimate use
of alcohol in industry
Existing laws, they contended,
should be clarified to prevent unwar-
ranted governmental interference,
and new legislation, aimed at tight
er enforcement of the prohibition
amendment, should exempt denatur-
ed alcohol, which it was pointed out
cannot be used for beverage purpos-
es.
M. c. Whitaker, New York, pre-
sident of the United States Chemical
company, declared there was con-
tinual tendency by prohibition adyO-
Gates to encrOach on legitimate in
dustry.
Charges of the witness that the
prohibition law in some instances
has beetn interpreted to the detri-
ment of the chemical industry caus-
ed Chairman Volstead to change his
remarks. Mr.. Volstead declared that
if injustices were being inflicted,
steps would be taken to remedy de
fects in the law. He asserted, how
ever, that many complaints against
the prohibition law were not justi-
fled.
Mr.. Whitaker declared there was
joker in the bill now before the
committee that would levy tax on
denatured alcohol.
Similar contentious were express
ed by c. l.. Parsons, Washington,
secretary of the American Chemical
society, and two other representativ-
es of the organization.

PLAN To PROVE
GREAT SUCCESS
FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS ARE
BUILDING UP STRONG COOP
ERATIVE MARKETING SYS-
TEN.

Huron, May 19.-The Farmers
National Grain Dealers association
in its seventh annual convention at
Fort Dodge, Ia, endorsed the grain
marketing plan of the committee of
IL as incorporated in the bylaws and
contracts of the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc.
According to recent statement
from the information office of the
L. S. Grain Growers, Inc, approx
mately 5000 farmer-owned cooper
ative elevators are affiliated with
the Farmers National Grain Deal
ers' association.
Their affiliation with the l.. s.
Grain Growers, Inc, can only be eff
fected by the action of the individ-
ual boards of directors of each ele-
vator, and execution of growers con-
tracts on the part of individual far
mers.
The endorsement by the board of
directors of the national association,
however, will expedite completing
these arrangements. When these de-
tails are completed, the number of
farmer members and the cOntractual
agreements with these member ele-
vators will provide a marketing ma
chinery of no small consequence
That, linked with the sales organiza-
tion of the u. S. Grain Growers, Inc,
will per nit the latter Immediately

"The u. S. Grain Growers, Inc, is
a go. There is no such thing as
turning back. The progressive far

H. Gustafson said upon his return
from a trip to Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa, where he studied what the
farmers in those states are asking in
the way of a national cooperative
grain marketing plan.
Tentative plans for organizing the
u. s. Grain Growers, Inc, in Mime
sofa were effected at conference
recently, in which delegates from the
Minnesota Farm Bureau fedora ton,
the Equity Cooperative Exchange,

was taken into custody Sunday, ar
raigned in circuit court Monday
where he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to Is months in the state

CATTLE DIPPING IS
BROUGHT TO HALT
REPRESENTATIVE OF TATE
SANITARY BOARD
ERRED.

Wind Cave, May 19.-Robert Nc
Adam, rancher living near Pringle.
put stop to the cattle dipping that
has been in operation in this vicinity
when he brought in DR.. Cronin, of
the United States department of agri-
culture, to look over the various
herds, which were quarantined by
DR.. Sager, who is operating on the
livestock sanitary board for the state
of South Dakota.
DR.. Cronin was unable to find a
single case of scabies, and DR.. Sa-
ger, who was present at the exam
ination, is said to have admitted that
he made a mistake
McAdam, who has had good
deal of experience with scabies, said
that he never did think that the cat
tie in Custer county had scabies and
his getting the government man was
more to find out if his bunch really
had the disease than to avoid the
expense of dipping. He had already
dipped 125 head of his cattle, and
a good many of the other ranchers
in the vicinity have done the same.
There is some talk of legal entangle-
ments over the matter.
Sager has quarantined practically
all of Fall River county, and a
large portion of Custer county, but
has agreed to release the quarantine
in this particular community. Sager
said that the cattle that he uuaran-
tined in this vicinity looked more
like they were addicted to the di-
sease than any of the cattle he had
ordered dipped.
