HIGHER RATES
WOULD AFFECT
DAIRY FARMER
Creameries Operate on So
Small q Margin That Farmer
Must Stand Any Raise
JOHN HUSKY TESTIFIES
Dairy Head Says N. ID. Mar
keted 43,OOO,OOO Pounds
Butterfat in 1925

Additional testimony showing that
any increase in cream freight rates
would have to be borne by the farm
er was introduced by creamery men
mt yesterdays session Of the hearing
on Tntrastate cream rates now being
held before the state railroad COM
mission.
Further increase in the rates as
asked BY the railroads would result
in forcing the Bridgcman- Russell
company into exclusive use Of motor
trucks for bringing in cream. O. A.
Amundson of the company's James
town plant told the commission.
John HUSKY. head of the state dairy
department was the last witness to
testify at the afternoon session. He
entered exhibits which showed that
43 million pounds of butterfat were
marketed in North Dakota or shipped
to Minnesota during 1925; 81 million
pounds being sold to cream stations
and IL million pounds shipped direct.
The price actually paid to the farm
er for this butterfat was SIT 1851 900
he testified.
Operate on Small Margin
Further testimony that ANY in
crease in rates would have to he
borne by the farmer was offered by
HUSKY who declared that in 1925 the
"centralizers,' branches of The large
creameries, paid four cents Il pound
more for butterfat than the butter
market at the time warranted. As a
result, the creameries are operating
on an extremely small margin and
with increased rites the farmer would
have to bear the additional burden
he said.
willard Testifies
Economic conditions in the dairy
industry Of North Dakota at the pres
ent time were described by Rex Will
lard, farm economist of the state
agricultural college, in his testimony
before the railroad commission this
morning.
Possibilities are that the hearing
will be concluded this afternoon but

the Mexican governments policy Of

includes five excellent acts, is spon-
sored by the Business and Profes-
sional Women's club with NJ. B. Gil

LLOYD GEORGE WORRIES.
LILITH BY DUSK.
MIRACLES NECESSARY.

Lloyd George is worried about
everything. Mussolini's treatment of
Germans in the Tyrol, annexed to
Italy, will cause war between Ger
many and Italy and 'embr0il all
Europe"
Russia is the great problem, and,
more intelligent than our bankers
that bought Kerensky's Russian
bonds, Lloyd George says the dan
ger will come mot from Boil
shevism, but from the irresistible
return Of Russia to Czarist i'm
perialism."
All nations should forgive all
their debts, England included. says
Lloyd George, but he fears the re
cent United States election will
prevent that. He does not mention
The fact that everybody owes US.
whereas we owe nobody. What
Lloyd George calls ~ general jubi-
lee which would wipe out all inter
national debts" simply means Eu-
rope saying to Uncle Sam: "You
free us Of debt and you pay the
piper"
Frank A. Simmon says: "Amer-
lea is looked upon in Europe as
the common peril" Europe feels
that we got all the profit out of
the war; Europe got nothing: We
are to live rich and happy; Europe
is to worry. Europe ought to re-
member that Europe started the
war, as she will start others. prob
ably. Men and nations that choose
to cut each others throats have
no right to hate, though they may
envy, a nation or individual that
stays outside the throat cutting.
America got in part way, but not
all the way, luckily.
