NEW ENGLAND MILK
 PRODUCTION FALLS
But Connecticut Shows Increase
 Over Last Year

Boston. Mass, April 1l-Ecport' from many dairymen in all parts of New England indicate that the average production per COW on April 1 was 5.5 per cent above what it was on March 1, 5.6 per cent above that of q year ago, but 1.2 per cent below the five year avcr- age for this date. Normally, pro- ducton per COW during March in Crcases about 70 per cent but this month the increase was 5.5 per cent Tho reports show that about the normal number of COWS have fresh cned during the past month so that most of the decreased milk produc- tion has been caused by a lower production per COW in milk. Milk production at the beginning of 1880 was at an unusually high level but it has fallen off rapidly in the past two months. The figures were com- piled by the New England crop re- porting service of the department of agriculture.
 AS com ipdTtu Nltu tue MATCH average milk production there were increases in all the New England states, except Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which show slight de- crcases. The daily average produc- ton per COW for New England as a whole on April 1 was 1G.42 pounds compared with 1856 pounds on March 1, 1880. .15.S5 pounds on April l. 1929. and 1862 pounds the five year average for April 1. In rccases from the average of year ago of 5.7 per cent in Maine, S.1 per cent in Vermont, S.5 per cent in Massachusetts, 4.6 per cent in
 Rhode Island and 30 per cent in Connecticut were partly offset by a
 decrease of 6 per cent in New | Hampshire.
 | The proportion of dry COWS to all COWS in New England decreased
 from 24.7 per cent on March 1 to
 POS per cent on April 1. A year ago l the proportion was 22.3 per cent while the five year average is 20.7 per cent In Maine dry cows were
 21,o per cent of all COWS on April

" dSnlnSlOn Bureau, IN. Ii. Jlerald) Washingon. D. C., April II The rumpus in the senate over leasing of quarters for the post office at St. Paul, Minn., and other cities, result ed from his refusal to appoint as postmaster at St. Paul d man rec commended by Representative, Melvin J. Maas because he voted for Al Smith for president, Postmaster Gen. eral Brown declared today.
 It was Representative Maas who accumulated all the evidence about the lease of the post office quarters at St. Paul and numerous other towns which Senators Nye and Blaine exploded in the senate on Tuesday.
 This stuff which was brought out in the senate is all old with the de- partment and in St. Paul. said Postmaster General Brown.
 Representative Maa5 is sore be- cause I refused to appoint the man he wanted for postmaster at ot' Paul. Aftcrjh he gave me his name l had him looked up and found that he voted for Al Smith for president and said he did it because smith was the best man. ] could not ap- point him under those clrcum- stances
 The postmaster general indicated his belief that if he had appointed the man Maas wanted for postmas- ter at St. Paul the nare-up in the senate over post office quarters leases would never have occurred.
 Representative Maas when qucs-. toned said he recommended ap- pointmcnt of John w. Norton for postmaster at St, Paul to succeed Charles J. Moos, who was appointed about eight years ago by Frank 5. Kellogg. then United States sena- tor and later secretary of state.
 John Norton was president of the St Paul baseball club. head of the athletic association and numerous othfr activities in St. Paul that made him highly popular in that city" said Representative Maas. Practically all the people of St. Paul were for him regardless of politics. He admitted he voted for Al smith and so did the majority of the people Of St. Paul. But after that Postmaster General Brown could not see him for postmaster
