BUTTER AND LARD
MARKET HURT BY
IMITATION FOODS

Officials of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation say that unless
substitutes for their main cash crop,
butter, are not restricted in use, Min
nesota dairymen will be looking for
substitute for money. A tremendous
surplus of storage butter has driven
the price of butterfat considerably
below last years figures, as the stor-
age supply is now 100000 pounds
greater than year ago.
If city folk ate all of the 350,000,-
900 pounds of oleomargarine that went
onto the market in 1929 to reduce by
practically that amount the consump-
ton of butter, the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton would see no point in taking
the farmers to task in the matter. But
the Federation has learned that 60
per cent of all oleo sold in the United
States is purchased by farmers. And
worse, one pound in four that goes to
farmers is purchased by dairymen.
This means that dairy farmers, who
are being harmed by the huge but
ter surplus, themselves are using 81
100000 pounds of oleo. And 100000
600 pounds of surplus butter have
forced the price of butterfat down 10
cents pound in the past year.
The farmer who uses oleo is helping
to break his own market and is hurt
ing himself and the state immeasur-
ably, Farm Bureau officials assert.
They hold that if each farmer could
be brought to realize the seriousness
of the situation none would undersell
himself by buying the substitute that
has proved itself such a market-killer
in the past year.
Farmer housewives also will do
themselves and their families a favor
if they use lard for their cooking, in
stead of European-produced vegetable
oils that have flooded the market, to
cut down the price of lard and there
fore seriously affect the price of
pork, says A. j. Olson, president of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora

fected by quantity purchase of raw
materials, brought about lowered
production costs, which, consistent
with the Chevrolet policy, are now
being passed on to the consuming
public.
The new range is from 1866 for the
light delivery chassis to $675 for the
sedan, as against 1929 prices of $500
for the light delivery chassis to $725
for the convertible landau. All prices
are f. o. b. the factory, at Flint,
Michigan. A table of new and old
prices follows:

CHEVROLET REDUCES !.
ALL MODEL PRICES

Detroit, Mich. = Announcement
last week of substantially reduced
prices on the new 1880 Chevrolet
Six, at the same time that the car
embodying many distinct improve
ments made it's public bow, created
a sensation in automotive circles here.
Reductions as announced by w. S.
Knudsen, president and general man
ager Of the Chevrolet Motor company,
range from $25 to $50 on seven of the
twelve models in the 1880 line, while
three new body types introduced for
the first time this year are priced to
parallel the new low figure on models
retained in the current series. The
present base price of $495 brings the
six cylinder Chevrolet to within five
dollars of the lowest price at which
even the four cylinder Chevrolet was
ever sold.
This is made possible, Mr.. Knudsen
explained, because 1929 was Chevro-
let's greatest year, with an output
of 100000 skies. Economies of pre-
cision manufacturing plus savings eff

In all government surveys dealing

employment is a political as well as
an economic issue. 1t Is admitted
that the displacement of labor by
mechaniZation has not been wholly
absorbed. Recent statistics show that
in five year period the increase
and output for a worker amounted to
35 per cent due to labor saving devices
and speeding up processes. The ques-

An Interesting Fact.
The MARYLAND Gazette

|
In this day of the rapidstransmis-
sion of news items, when important
happenings of both this country and
of Europe and Asia are being read
by American readers within a few
hours, at most, after they have .oc-
Cured, we consider the newspaper, as
we consider our grape fruit and coffee
AS matter of course. But all the
advantages we now enjoy we owe to
the foresight and forward looking
policies of our progenitors.
b The Maryland Gazette, one of the
very early papers in America, was
founded at Annapolis in 1927. 1t was
short lived, but was revived in 1745
and thereafter prospered. It carried
at its masthead the information that
it contained "the freshest advises
foreign and domestic" These advises,
however, according to present day
standards, were not very fresh, as
they were two months old from New
York and Boston, five months old
from London and Paris, and six
months old from Constantinople.
But even in the early days of the
Colony, we find that the publishers Of
the Maryland Gazette, were true to
the fine traditions of the Fourth Es-
tate. In scathing editorials the in
famous Stamp Act, passed by the
English Parliament in 1765, was de-
nounced in no uncertain terms and
published cards or letters from var
ious citizens, whereby they gave no.
tice ''to all officers whatever that may
be appointed by that most grievous
and unconstitutional act" that they
would pay no tax whatever but what
was laid upon them by their own
representatives.
In fact, so strenuous was the oppo-
sition of the Gazette to the Act, that
rather than purchase the stamped
paper for it's issues, it suspended pub
LEGATION in October, 1765, just about a
month prior to the time the Act was
to go into effect.
The publishers, however, continued
to print what they were pleased to
call supplements" without charge to
the customers" on which was prin-
ted skull and cross bones with the ex-
preston:
"The times are Dreadful, Dismal,
Doleful, Dolorous, and Dollar-less."
Some of our present day publishers
seem to have taken leaf out Of the
book of We olden editor.

WEST VIRGINIA FARMERS
CASH IN ON NATIVE PLANT
Collection of Plants Brings in
Substantial Revenue to Workers.

"Pay dirt" of a new kind has been
struck in the rugged hills and wooded
hooks of Tucker county.
Native plants, dug and shipped to
the city markets, brought $2,012.67
to farmers of the county last spring.
Thirty car loads of rhododendron,
azaleas and mountain laurel were
marketable between March 16 and
May 8. "'
Farmers of the county formed an
organization to promote the project.
The state Farm Bureau Service Co.
handled the marketing and paid the
labor.
In this contract with the company
the farmers were guaranteed three
cents plant, but they were actually
paid eight. Professional collectors,
up to this time, had been paying one
cent a plant. One farmer realized
sixteen cents a plant, including pay
for his labor, and another farmer
twelve cents.
At the time the collecting was under
way Parsons and other communities
were hard hit by unemployment. The
native plant collecting tided many
men over until road work was started.
A total of $3,621.50 was paid in the
form of wages.
Tucker county is not being strip
ped of its natural beauty. These
plants should be removed in the pro-
cess of thinning. The farmers are
getting paid for what might other
wise be painful job of grubbing.
There are many sections of West
Virginia which will have to develop
side line activities of this kind to pro-
vide farm people additional sources
of income.
The total receipts from shipping
plants from Tucker county was about
fourteen thousand dollars, and over
half of it remained within the county.
The figures shown above represent
what the farmers received and the
amount paid out in labor. Most farm
ers shipped direct, no selling to local
shippers, every one who shipped went
out and dug for himself, and all made
money out of it, and the business
this season is likely to far outstrip
last years. output. In fact orders are
now in for dozen or more cars and
the work has only started.
