rs compared with 2700o for October.
1929, and about 100000 freight cars

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
CHRISTIANA, October 24.-Capt
Raold Amundsen will be the leader OF
a new Norwegian flying expedition to
the North Pole next year. His de-
cision to abandon the attempt this
year was a great disappointment to
his three assistants. who at the time
were at Pisa to take over the air
planes.
Since their arrival home they have
been working for the next expedition
to the pole with or without Amund =
sen as the leader. The three men
are Lieuts. Riserlarsen, Dietrichsen
and Omdal. On behalf of the Norwe-
gian Society for Aviation. Riser
larsen has just been in London to
organize a new support movement.
After his return he stated that an
English newspaper has promised
some financial help and that the Brit

Further. an American film company
is said to have offered $4,000 for the
sole rights of photographing the tour.

MARYLAND STATE DAIRY
MANS ASSOCIATION

The seventh annual convention OF
the Maryland State Dairyman's AS
sociation held at Carlin's Park, neal
Baltimore. Saturday, Aug. 30. 1t IL
estimated that 1900 members and
their families of the Association in
the State were present.
It was agreed to inaugurate q
dairy council with a fund Of about
$4,000 or $4,000 to wage cam
paign for greater use of milk. This
council is also to deal with other
phases Of the business and is expect
ed to be operated in a way that will
benefit the public as well as tho
dairyman.
Farmers. were told that the asso-
citation now has in readiness for i'm
mediate operation a $4,000 plant, in
Baltimore for handling milk Should
any great surplus develop or any
trouble be experienced in the present
arrangement of prompt home distri-
button through City dairies.
l.. w. Heaps, secretary and treas
urer, reported: "Our records show
we marketed 20,S15,467 gallons of
milk, or an average of 5?,O2S gal
Ions daily, giving our shippers a cash
return for their product Of $6,475,-
600 for the year"

WHAT IT COSTS TO PRO.
DUCE MILK

The cost account records kept BY
Lancaster County farmers under
Farm Bureau supervision are of in.
tense interest to farmers.
How much did you get for milk
last year? If you averaged less
than 1922 per 100 pounds for the
year you lost money, says H. s.
Sloat, whose records on sixteen dairy
herds in Lancaster County show that
figure to have been the cost per
100 pounds of milk. Sloat is in
charge of the farm cost accountancy
department of the Farm Bureau,
The cost of producing milk has
varied very little during the last
three years, according to records
kept by. the farm cost accountant.
The figures show that, dairymen spent
S2.54 to produce 100 pounds of milk
in 1921, and 1921 in 1922.
One fact brought out by the cost
OF production records is that the
amount expended to keep one COW
for one year dropped appreciably
from 1922 to 1928, but that littl,,
difference is noted between 1921 and
1922. The dairymen's records show "
that in 1921 it cost $177.S0 to MAIN
tain one COW for one year and in 1922
$l7H2s was spent per cow. In
1928, however, this figure dropped
to $151.06.-Quarryville Sun. \
