MINER STRIKE

Daugherty.

Indianapolis, Ind, April IL
Attorney General Daugherty was
to resume today his investigation
or the pending cases in federal
court here under indictments re-
turned more than a year ago
against 226 coal operators and
miners. The attorney general
planned to leave here late today.
Operators have declared that the
pending cases prohibit participa-
ton in any wage conference with
the miners. Mr. Daugherty indi-
Gated last night that dismissal of
the indictments is under consider
alton. He declared no decision has
been reached.

Of the situation in the coal
strike. Mr.. Daugherty said:
1T is nothing but a continuous
struggle with periodical rests, that

not half so much fun to the pee

House Ends Probe.
Washington, April IL. The
house labor committee today had
concluded its investigation of the
nationwide coal strike, for a time
at least. Announcement that the
committee had no plans at present
for a further investigation of the
strike made by Chairman Nolan
yesterday after several labor
spokesmen had been heard at the
final session in general denial OF
charges by operators that contract
breaking by the miners union had
been factor in the walkout.
The committee, however, will
hold an executive session tomor-
row to consider action on the
Bland bill, which would set up a
federal coal commission to deal
with such situations as the present
strike. Meanwhile, members of the
committee appeared to be holding
in allegiance any further plans

WYOMING
BLANKETEO
WITH SNOW
Wires Down; Property
Damage From Storms
and Flood Great.

Chicago, April 11.-Spring fresh
ats which have already flooded
many lowlands, were threatening
more serious damage today in many
middle western states. Rains, al
most torrential, sent the rivers up
in Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri,
Kansas and Arkansas. Streams In
other states were also rising, but
not at an alarming rate.
While the middle western COM
munities stood in fear of floods,
states further west were recover
ing today from a spring storm that
brought with it high winds and
heavy snowfall. Snow was general
throughout the northern and middle
Rocky Mountain area, reports from
Denver indicated. Lander, Wyom-
ing, reported that it was digging
its way out of eight inches of snow
The snow and wind played havoc
with telegraph wires. 1t was not
until late last night that The Asso-

communication to cities west OF
Omaha, Neb.
Missouri Is Hard Hit

Three small towns, Ash Grove,
Harold and Luck, northwest Of
Springfield. NO., were in the path
Of high winds and two persons
we're killed and property was dam
aged to the extent of 100000.
The storm that hit the western
states was moving eastward slow
ly, the weather bureau here said,
and was preceded by the heavy
rains which caused flood condi-
tons.
Reports this morning said that
many rivers and their tributaries
in Missouri and Kansas were at
the highest stages since 1915. Rail
road service was interrupted to
some extent.
Near Floods In Michigan.
In both northern and lower
Michigan streams were high, but
the village of Tower, on the De-
troit and Mackinaw railroad north
Of Alpena, was said to be in the
most serious danger. The inhabi-
tants were working to erect pro-
lection against the rising waters of
Lost River.
The rivers in Wisconsin ap-
preaching the flooded stage were
the Mississippi, Chippewa, Flan-
beau, Wisconsin, Oconto, Fox aad
Wolf,
The Usage, Gasconade and
Moreau rivers were among the
highest streams in Missouri. The
Arkansas river was also up.

Chicago also experienced some
thing like flood conditions last
night when a heavy rain flooded

water pumped from their cellars.

Cammack Visits Project
And Talks to Farmers
(Contributed)
CONTINUED from last week.

Continued
After arriving here on Fridal
morning, Mr.. Cammack spoke to iii,
Community Club for fifteen minute:
on the general question of dairying
Then he was driven over the FRO
jet where he had an opportunity to
see and learn the possibilities oi
dairying in this vicinity After a
survey of the project, accumulat ng
data as 10 the amount of cream be-
ing produced in this vicinity, and
discussing with some of the neigh
boring farmers the productivity of
the nearby farms, he stated that
this community had the greatest
dairy possibility of any commun ty
in the state, and that a factory
should be operating here by all
means.
In the evening, Mr. Cammack
spoke at the Fourth ward chapel.
During his address he compared the
possibilities OF dairying in Idaho
with leading dairy producing states.
Wisconsin, which is now the fore
most state in dairy products. thirty
years ago was no further advanced
along this line than Idaho is today
Last year Wisconsin actually pro-
duced s165. 900, 10000 worth of dal-
ny products. During the recent bus
mess depression, Wisconsin, due u
her dairy products, was able to loan
millions of dollars to other states
and stood in a class by itself in
prosperity. AS to inherent posi-
bilities, Idaho is far ahead of Wis
consn, and only waits development
to take the lead in dairy production.
II was stated by Mr.. Cammack that
hay was shipped to Wisconsin from
Idaho. fed to Wisconsin cows, and
cheese produced from Idaho hay
shipped back to Idaho and sold 70
the farmer who rased the hay.
When the comparative costs of slip
ping hay and cheese are considered
/ will be readily seen that Wiscon-
sin must be making a big profit
rom dairy products in order to op-
rate under these conditions.
1t might occur to one that further
development of the dairy industry
would flood the market and destroy
rices, but, according to Mr.. Cam
lack, there is possibility of forty
We per cent of the food used being
airy products. Under these condi- {
ions it will be almost impossible TO 5
lpply the demand, even if dairying t
developed to its greatest degree t
Speaking of dairy development in e
lis part of the state, Mr.. Cammack h
entioned Weiser, Boise, Nampa, d

sll as being the leading dairy pro p

Referring to the profit on daryirg in
the farmer, Mr.. Cammack gave wi
tual figures as a basis upon which us
make his estimate. A COW pro
Iucing 800 pounds of butter fat ia

t exceptional, and valued ut tn

around $4,000, will produce, at so
cents per pound of butter fat, 500.
per year. Her feed, tons of nav
at $500 per ton will cost S42.CG,
leaving a net profit of S4S.0O per
COW per year. 1t is estimated that
the calf, together with the fertilizer
and skinned milk or whey will pay
for the actual cost of taking care o.
the COW and the investment. This
leaves the farmer a net profit of v
er fifty per cent on his investment
In addition to the direct profit from
his cows, it makes a market of 81.
per ton for his hay on, his farm and
insures him this market price every
every year. Hog raising is a natu-
raj sister industry to dairying and
the by-products from the dairy
make excellent hog feed.
1t will be readily seen that Mr.
Cammack has based his estimate on
very conservative figures. In The
first place. butter fat will average
more nearly S5 cents per pound
than 80 cents. He further estimat-
ed that it would be necessary TO
feed the COW for twelve months
per year, when the natural pasture
in the hay field VII take care of
her for nearly a month and one
half out of the year at no cost at
all.
Basing his statement on what has
beeen done in other communities.
he stated that good COWS, averaging
hree hundred pounds of butter fat
Ter year, should pay for themselves
n from eighteen months to two
rears, and that the average produc-
ng period of a COW is about eight
ears. 1t certainly looks like a
mighty good Investment when L
armer can make around fifty dol
airs net profit per year from one
ow and in addition to that make ii
ure market of $500 per ton for
lis hay. A herd of seven to eight
ows. which can be handled along
With the farm, will bring in net
ncome of from three to five hun
red dollars each year, in addition
o the increased price of hay. Is
here any other industry which will
o any ways nearly as we'll?
In speaking of dairy cattle, Mr..
ammack mentioned Guernsey, Hol-
-ein, Jersey and Ayrshire breeds rs
lie leading dairy cattle. He said
lat it did not make so much differ
ice what breed of cattle man
Id, but the difference lay in the III
vidual COWS. OF course il costs
st as much to take care of a very
'or COW as very good one, and
e poor COW should be culled ut
ID the herd bred up. He further
lted that the best method of de-
ling what COW was to be used was
take a community vote and then
2 whole community to breed one
nd of cattle. In this manner
dice bulls can be bought and used
the entire community and herds
proved at a much less cost than
ere different stocks of cattle a .,e
