Lowden Suggests
A New Farm Board

The application of the Federal Re-
serve banking idea to the farming
industry, with the formation of n
Federal Farming board, is suggested
by Ex-Governor Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois as one method for the re-
Mobilization of the industry and n
guarantee that the farmer might
weather storms such as have appear
ed in the last five years. He makes
his suggestion in an article written
for the October issue of The World S
Work.
"The farm problem is not solved,
says Mr.. Lowden. 1T will be well for
us if we recognize this fact.
1.-THE world has long been used to
the advantages of mass production >
he adds, after discussing the Brazil
ian plan for marketing her coffee and
the British plan for marketing rub
Der. 1T now appears that mass SELL
ing Is to be given a trial.
"One of the chief reasons for the
formation of the Federal Reserve
banking system was to mobilize the
credits of the country, SO that they
could be used at any time at the
point needed. Isn't there some way
by which the SURPRISES of farm pro-
ducts can be modified and thus be
made to serve the future? IL we
could accomplish in point of time fo-
the farm SURPRISES what we have ac-
complished in point of place for the
credit resources of the country, we
would have largely overcome our
troubles.

board. Suppose that board found
that the producers of any farm COM

Maine Inspection
OF Feeding Stufs
Protects Farmers

Maine farmers purchasing feeding
stuffs for animals and poultry are
protected through an efficient sys-
TEN Of inspection carried on during
the fall and winter months by the
State department of agriculture.
Clarence o. Brown, inspector for
the department, has commenced his
work for the present fiscal year
visiting the principal wholesale and
retail stores selling feeding stuffs
in all parts of the State and COL
lecting samples of all of the dlf-
~ferent kinds of feeding stuffs ex-
cept the whole grains and the whole
ground grains. The law requires
that each brand must be registered
annually with the State department
of agriculture.
Brands that are not thus regis
tered are frequently found on the IN
spection trips and in such cases
hearings are arranged with the pei
sons selling unregistered branos re-
ouiring that they or the manu-
facturers Immediately register those
particular brands. DURING the pas
three weeks samples of zoo pranos
have been taken by Inspector Brown
and of those there were Il pranos
found unregistered. A registration
fee of $40 is required Tor eacn
brand, thus the State will receive
$40 as the result of these IN IN
spections. There are between oov
and 700 different brands registered
with the department.
Samples of the feeding stuns are
sent to the Maine Experiment Sta-
tion where they are analysed TO oe-
termine if they measure up, 10 the
guarantee given on the package re-
rarding protein, fats and hoer con-
tent. in cases of authorizations OF
misbranding in violation OF the law
in interstate shipments the IN
spector makes out Federal cases
and manufacturers are prosecuted

ing the World War when prices were
high, IA of such cases were I'M
covered, but there have been no such
PROSECUTIONS during the past two
wears as the result of inspections In

HIGHER RANK
AND PAY
Admiral Objects to Retire.
: ment With Allowance Only
of Captain-May Sue

The future assignment to duty Of
Captain John K. Robson, U. s. N.
former chief engineer of the navy
with the rank of rear admiral, has
not yet been decided by the Navy
Department. He was deposed from
office on Septemb Der, due to his
connections with the recent oil in
vestigation and has been on a
months leave since then.
Unless he is given orders before
the expiration of his leave, orr his
request for retirement is granted,
he will be in status of waiting
orders, according to officials Of the
Navy Department.
Since he was relieved Of duty as
chief Of the bureau, has been acting,
Ernest L. Bennett, the assistant
chief Of the bureao, has been acting,
but the new successor must be ap-
pointed within thirty days under
the law. It is believed that he will
be given the assignment.
! If the application for retirement
of Captain Robson is granted. ac-
cording to his friends in the Navy
Department, he will institute FRO.
ceedings in the civil courts to OBJ
tain a different interpretation Of
the law, as now understood by the
Navy Department, which would
| give him the retired rank and pay
of rear admiral of the upper half.
When he first applied for retire
ment he held the bureau rating of
rear admiral, and If the application
had been granted prior 20 his relief
of duty he would have retired with
/! this rank and pay.
The President can accept the ap-
plication for retirement at any time
but he would now retire with the
rank of captain under the law as
understood by the Navy Depart.
ment.
1t is provided by the act that
'any officer of the navy who is
now serving or shall hereafter serve
as chief of a bureau in the Navy
Department. and shall subsequently,
be retired, shall be retired with the
rank, pay and allowances as author
zed by law for the retirement of
such bureau Chiefs
It has been held that this pro-
vision refers only ITO the case OF
. retirement during service as chief
of bureau" and Goes not extend the
retirement of one that has left the
office Of chief of bureau
It is held by friends OF Captain
Robson thsse the Supreme Court
would reverse this opinion, and this
decis on would then permit his re-
tirement with the rank of rear adj
miral Of the upper half.
