increasing meat shipments to the

There is growing demand for
meat in the Far East" said Mr..

cannot supply this demand, and we
believe Australia is the logical source
of supply. We can furnish approx
mately $4,000 tons of meat yearly

PURCHASES0F
DAIRY CATTLE
SATISFACTORY
Prove Good Investments, Ac'
cOrding to Reports of COun-
ty Agents in State

Fargo, N. d., April 2O.-Dairy
cows purchased during the past few
years by North Dakota farmers with
the assistance of their county ex-
tension agents are proving to be
good investments, records indicate.
Thirty five carloads of dairy cat
tie were shipped into the state two
years ago, Max Morgan, dairy ex-
tension specialist, North Dakota
Agricultural College, points out and
only farmers who were in a position
to handle dairy cows successfully
were encouraged to buy foundation
stock. Follow-up work by county
agents helped the prospective dairy
men to gain experience in the care
and management of their cows. I'm
less a farmer was able to give q
dairy cow good care and feed, he
was encouraged to direct his atten-
ton to other kinds of farming or ia
methods that would prepare him 70,
dairying.
Special records indicate the pro.
gress of several of the farmers who
purchased foundation stock at thu
time.
X. X. Hall of jamestown witf
county agent Goodhue of Stutsmar
County purchased five high grade
IIolstcins which produced an income
through the sale of milk Of $75t
above feed cost besides raising three
heifer calves. At the same tim,
Jesse Gran purchased four Gucrn
seys. BY retailing his milk he made
a profit above feed cost of $l,4l8
If these two farmers had sold theil
butterfat, they would have made
profits above feed costs of 1898 anu
1910 respectively.

EXPRESS RATES
NJ AY BE LESS
Case Before Interstate Com
merce Commission Is
Reviewed

EXPRESS rates in North Dakota
will be adjusted and slightly reduced
if the interstate Commerce Commits
sion adopts proposals of western
states utilities commissions in the
nationwide express rate case now
before it, V. f. Smart. traffic mana
ger of the railroad commission, said
today, following his return from the
hearing in Washington.
"A committee consisting of sta
tisticians selected from states west
of Chicago and the Mississippi river
presented numerous exhibits showing
the discrimination between rates as
they now exist, showing that west
ern state are paying much higher
rates than the eastern states, where
IS operating expenses of the express
company are very much less in the
western states than in the eastern
states," Mr.. Smart said This
greater expense in the eastern states
S due to the larger proportion of
the express business in those states
receiving pick up and delivery SER
vice, there being very limited
mount of this service furnished in
western states"
In North Dakota thee are but %
cities where the express company
S required to call for and deliver
express business, Mr.. Smart said.
The western states committee sub
initted two propositions to the In
terstate CONNER rec Commission, both
If which carry a reduction in rates
If about Is percent. One retains
h. present system of dividing the
country into blocks for rate-mak-
ng~ purposes; the other divides the
country into blocks 80 miles square
The interstate rates in North Da-
kota were increased ID 1-2 per cent
effective October 13, 1920, but this
increase was not authorized by the
state commission with respect to in
trastate business.
An exhibit containing study OF
one days business of the American
Railways Express company's bust
ness at Bismarck was submitted to
the l. C. c., showing the effect OF
proposed rates. 2he exhibit indcat-
ed that state rates will be decreased
should the state commission adopt
the western states proposal if ac-
cepted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Mr.. Smart said.
