ENFORCEMENT BEGUN
ON FILLED MILK LAW

MADISON, Wis.-Immediate and
strict enforcement of the Wisconsin
statute prohibiting manufacture or
sale of filled milk was undertaken
Friday by J. @. Emery, dairy and food
commissioner, who issued instructions
to his inspectors, requesting them to
give particular attention to provisions
of the law.
Manufacturing concerns are SAID to
have stopped making the product OF
skinned milk and cocoanut oil IN
most instances. The prohibition OF
sale of the filled milk is expected to
require greater attention from the
dairy and food commissioner.
The letter sent by Mr.. Emery to MS
inspectors said:
"You are instructed to give in con-
nection with your regular inspection
work immediate and particular atten-
ton to the enforcement of the terms
of filled milk law which makes it I'M
lawful for any person, firm or corpor-
alton to manufacture, sell or exchange
anv condensed skim milk to which has
been added any fat or oil other than
milk fat either under the name OF
said articles or products or derlva-
tiyes thereof or under any fictitious
or trade name whatsoever"

lHIEM EAEWI Cne gram corporation

lE of crops, to assure farm
ers of living prices this
year and next, is in full
swing throughout the rural districts
where the National Leader circulates.
We are able to report great progress
but sufficient pressure has not yet
been brought to bear on congress to
force action. More work is necessary.
Have you written your congressman,
signed or circulated a petition, or call
ed a meeting to pass resolutions?
More communities must line up soon
if we are to get results.
Scores of North Dakota farmers
wrote Senator Ladd of that state, and
as result he has introduced in the
senate the same bill for the revival of
the grain corporation that Congress-
man Sinclair already had introduced
in the house. Henry Uden Of Alpha,
WASH, wrote Congressman Albert
johnson of that state and as a result
has the following letter from Mr..
Johnson:
I am inclined to believe that there will
be no difficulty in enacting nae legislation for
osaon s sSs Of make ioday smd
do what can in behalf of action.
Several North Dakota farmers have
written Congressman Young of that
state, and he has written letters say
ing he, too, favors the plan. Young
is not a Nonpartisan Lacquer, show
ing that progress is being made in
unexpected quarters.
Congressman Sinclair, with others,
has secured a hearing before the house
agricultural committee, on the matter
of stabilization of grain prices, which
will open the matter of the grain cor
poration revival for discussion. This
hearing will be going on by the time
this issue reaches readers. The
Leader has filed written statement
outlining the plan that we have been
urging, and this will be considered by
the committee. The Farmers Ma
tional council at Washington, D. c.,
also will urge the plan, at the hearing
and among congressman and senators.
This shows how activity by the
farmers gets results. Too many con-
gressmen are still writing non-com-
initial letters to our readers who have
urged them to act. Don't be satisfied
with letter from congressman
which is indefinite. Write him again
and again, and make him tell you

anything. Give him arguments.
