WHY DAIRYING GROWS

Dairyng is growing steadily and rapidly in the
United States and Canada, and this growth ap-
pears to be destined to continue at accelerating
pace It is founded upon the increasing of
milk products because of their high food and health
value.
Medical authorities, home demonstration
agents. parent-teacher associations and others in
terested in the health of children long advocated a
greater quantity of milk for growing boys and girls
1t good for adults too, but for children it is prac-
ticaly indispensable if proper development is to be
attained. People also being educated to ap-
precate the food value of other dairy products ice
cream, butter buttermilk and the various kinds OF
cheese so that the per capita consumption OF
these is becoming greater all the time.
These are some of the reasons why the dairy
industry is making such rapid advancement, and the
indications are that it will continue to grow and
maintain itself on a sound basis. 1t is being ex'
tended to many communities in which it has hereto
fore been neglected, and any farmer living in a
section where dairying can be pursued under Ia
vorable conditions would do well to include soms
good cows in his scheme of operations

Gas Tax Amendment is
Passed, Majority 10000
Announcement of the Defeat of
Amendment Made Last Week
Was Erroneous

St. Paul, Nov. 16-The gas
tax amendment, which has had
perhaps more ups and downs than
any issue in modern Minnesota
elections, was reported today to
have apparently passed according
to Mike Holm, secretary of state.
Based upon unofficial and in
complete returns amendment No. 1
which would divert one-third of
the gasoline taxes from the state
highways to county roads and
bridges, received $4,000 favor
able votes. There were approx
mately 1,066,916 votes cast in the
election.
Koochiching county returns
have not yet been received but
with an estimated vote there of
1000 the final results can hardly
be changed no matter how that
county voted.

Gov. Christensen Declares
for Gas Tax Increase
Assistance to Agriculture Also
Part of Governors Program
for Legislature

st. Paul, Nov. 17-Governor
Theodore Christensen has de-
clared himself in favor of an in
crease in the state gasoline tax as
a means of continuing the trunk
highway program.
The governor, in his first official
statement since election to a third
term said he believed a tax was
painless" since it placed the bur-
den of highway maintenance upon
those who use the roads most.
At the same time the governor
pronounced firm opposition to any
efforts to amend the state reorgan-
ization act at the cost of economy
policies and indicated measures
thru which the coming legislature
may render further aid to agricul-
tural sections of the state.
Concerning the adoption of
amendment No. /, the governor
pointed out that diversion of one
third of the gas tax revenues, as
provided by the amendment,
threatens in general highway pro-
gram.
81 believe adoption of the
amendment will make it necessary
to increase the gasoline tax," the
governor said. "1'his tax, | believe
is the fairest tax imposed since it
places the burden upon those who
use the roads most"
The statement followed that of
C.. M. lBabcock, state highway
commissioner, last week that the
tax would have to be increased
from two to four cents.
Proposed creation of state de-
partment of conservation is the
only major measure that looms at
the present time for further per-
lection of the state reorganization
act, the governor explained.
"Such a department was orig
inally proposed in the reorganiza-
ton of the state government, SO
the proposal now amounts to re-
submission of the plan," he said.
"The reorganization plan has saw
ed the people of Minnesota money,
and at the same time has permitted
increased expenditures for educa-
ton and other activities benefit
ting agriculture and other public
welfare"
Other assistance to agriculture,
the governor pointed out, probab-
ly will come in the form of re-
clamation of cutover and burned
lands and easing of the debt bur,
den resultant from drainage pro-
jects. The legislature may be ask.
ed to take steps to aid Lake of the
Woods and Beltrami counties
which will be forced to default
ditch bonds unless helped.
Southern Minnesota was also
hit by the drainage projects, Gov.
ernor Christianson said. "There
the heavy assessments have ser.
iously embarrassed the farmers
during this period of economic
stress. 1t probably will be neces.
sary to enact legislation to en-.
able counties to spread the assess
ments after refnancing, so thai
the annual burden on the farm
ers will be materially reduced"

their arrival.
Some might think the farm a bit
lonely, but it is just what the au-
thor wanted. Barnard has only
$50 residents, and they are scat
tered over a township of As
square miles. The village is eight
and 10 miles, respectively, from
the railroad lines on the north and
south. To reach the Lewis place
one must climb narrow, winding
road out of the village, still higher
into the hills, a distance of about
two miles.
The house, osbcured from the
highway, is low and white, with a
wide verandah across it's front.
Surrounded by bit of lawn and
garden land amid a cluster of
trees, it nestles on a slope which
forms one side of narrow valley.
A few hundred feet below brook
rambles along the valley bottom.
The old place has its historic as
sociations. The hill road that
swings past his driveway is still
remembered locally as that used
by Marquis de Lafayette on his

1925.
