URGE FARMERS TO
EAT MORE BUTTER
Storage Butter is 40,0OO,OOO
Pounds Greater Than
Year Ago
BUTTERFAT Cut 10 CTS.
Sixty Per cent of OleOmargar.
inc Sold in u. S. is Pur-
chased by Farmers

Minnesota dairymen will be look
ing for a substitute for money II
substitutes for their main cash
crop, butter, are not restricted in
use. A huge surplus of storage
butter has driven the price of but
terfat away below last years fig
urs, as the storage supply is now
100000 pounds greater than a
year ago, say officers of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation.
If city folk ate all of the $780,
100000 pounds of oleomargarine
that went onto the market in 1929
to reduce by practically that am
cunt the consumption of butter,
the Farm Bureau Federation
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 the
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 butter
surplus, themselves are using g.
100000 pounds of oleo. And 49,
100000 pounds of surplus butter
have forced the price of butterfat
down 10 cents a pound in the past
year.
The farmer who uses oleo is
helping to break his own market
and is hurting himself and the
state immeasurably, Farm Bureau
officials assert. They hold that if
each farmer could be brought to
realize the seriousness of the situ-
alton, none would again undersell
himself by buying the substitute
that has proved such a market
killer in the past year.
Farmer housewives also will do
themselves and their families a IA
vor if they use lard for their cook
ing, instead of the European pro-
duced vegetable oils that have
flooded the market to cut down
the price of lard and therefore Sc
riously affect the price of pork,
says A J. Olson, president of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.

Butter Prices Are Weak
On Western Markets
New York Market Down Two
Cents-Increased Egg PrOduc-
tiOn-Lowers Quotations

Butter markets of the East and
Pacific Coast as well have been
weak and unsettled during the
week. There has been liberal
supply of fresh butter and the sur
plus of storage holdings compared
with a year ago is increasing.
These conditions are creating a
lower tendency and quotations
have declined.
According to the U. S. Govern
ment report, receipts of fresh but
ter Chicago, New York, Boston
and Philadelphia from Monday to
Friday of last week were 137,961
sixty pound tubs as compared with
1887 same days previous weeks
and 125,427 same period year ago.
The weekly cold storage hold
ing report as issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture shows
that on January 4, 1880, there were
in these cities 54,929,8O pounds
of butter as against January 5,
1929, 27,619,10O pounds. On De-
cember 20, 1929, there were ST.
1890 pounds of butter in stor-
age in the 26 cities as against a
year ago, same day 30,978.500.
The Chicago market today on
80 Score Standards is 80 cents, a
decline of two cents from Monday
a week ago. The New York mar
ket on 90 Score Extras is 35 to
35k cents, compared with 81
cents on last Monday.
Egg production and receipts in
the Eastern markets last week
showed an increase over the pre-
ceding week and while there is
clearly good buying demand, the
increased supply available is caus-
ing an adjustment of selling pric-
es to a lower level ~
Chicago. market today on Fresh
Graded Firsts is Al to 421l cents.
A week ago, the same grade was
quoted A to As cents. The New
York market on Firsts is 431s to
A cents, representing a decline
since Monday a week ago ~ to
21b cents a dozen.
There has been a noticeable de-
crease, in the volume of poultry
being marketed. There is an &C
tive buying demand on fowl;
and springs are moving out at
prices varying directly in accord
ance with quality. Percentage of
STACEY young roosters is in
creasing and they are selling at
differentials under good quality
soft meated springs. This situa-
ton is being reflected in the coun-
try on paving prices to the pro-
Queer for this class of poultry.

Bokhara Tea Drinkers

The manner of drinking tea
varies from country to country. In
Bokhara every man carries a small
bag of tea about with him and,
when assailed by thirst, hunts up
the nearest tea booth and has the
bo9thkeeper brew pot of tea. The
Bokhara breakfast beverage is
Schirechaj-tea in which bread is
soaked and which is favored with
milk, cream or mutton fat. Dur
ing the day the drinker takes tea
with cakes of -four and mutton
suet. After drinking he eats the
tea leaves, which are considered q
great delicacy.

Total expenditures for construc-
ton on the state aid roads d,.ring
1929 were $685. 23.97. The two
principal items in the construction
expenditure were grading, $1,921,-

tailed $1,195, 1924.
During the year the counties
paid out $685., 438O0 for mainten-
ance of the state aid roads. Of
this amount they were reimbursed
by state aaid to the amount of
$678, $3.50.
/ Reports issued recently issued
by G. M. Babcock, commissioner of
highways, showed 1,148 miles of
pavement, 778 miles of bituminous
treated gravel and 1910 miles of

of 6,466 miles of trunk highway
surfaced with gravel or higher
types, and 1850 miles of state aid
roads surfaced with gravel or
higher types, or 1886 miles of

are approximately 1900 miles of
county and town roads with sand

ing Minnesota's total surfaced road
mileage about $4,000. Due to light

Big Increase in Flax
Needed in Minnesota

Minnesota's> flax acreage could
be increased in 1880 to at least a
million acres with profit both to
the producers and to manufacture
ers and users of linseed oil in
the Northwest, says A. G. Army,
agronomist, University Farm, st.
Paul. This increase would repre-
sent 25 per cent increase over
the area grown in 1926, when Min
nesota produced it's banner crop
of $4,000 acres. The added 100000
acres of flax might well replace
that amount of spring wheat and
oats, of which there has been a
serious overproduction for a num-
Der of years, Mr.. Army explains.
"The present position of the
fax crop in the Northwest is ex-
ceptional," according to Mr.. Army,
Gin that flax has been a paying
cash crop over a period of years
and still only about half the
amount needed is produced. All
who have given this matter care
full thought regret to see approx
imately 100000 bushels of flax
seed purchased annually from
other countries, when the money
might go to farmers in this coun-
try who are producing surplus
of spring wheat"
Minnesota's flax acreage, which
in 1926 was $4,000 acres, dropped
off slightly in 1927 and 1928, but
fell off greatly last year when only
$4,000 acres were grown. This
large reduction was due to the
low yields of flax in 1928 in west
central and southwestern Mime
sofa because Of flax rust. The re-
duction in these two sections in
1929 was 10000 acres. The 1928
flax rust epidemic was the first
serious one the state has ever ex-
perienced. Mr.. Army says, that it
need never occur again providing
seed of rust resistant varieties,
such as Buda, Bison and Redwing
are used. Seed of Buda and Bison
is already available in quantity,
and seed of Redwing is being in
creased for wide distribution in
1881.

Church Communion

the service of the holy communion
of saints which is open to all who
apply, irrespective of creed. In
"closed communion" the service is

Of a denomination who are

is meant the administration of the

one OF the big merchants came In
and took me out for change, TAX
ing me TO a large department store
where I was surrounded by finery
and handled BY perfumed hands.
This lovely atmosphere did not
last very long, however, as 7 passed
out to a lady who took me over to
the butchers. I did not like this
very much because the butchers
hands were greasy and l got some
what soiled. Thank goodness that /
did not have 10 stay here very long.

the night alone. in a very tobac-

next morning I was handed to an
installment collector who turned me
into a big furniture store. and
where they cashed a check for a
travelling man.
Then I was paid over to a hotel
and believe me, I never spent such
a night: there in the hotel safe
with many ether dollars who had
been possessed by travelling men
and then all started telling theiy
experiences. Well I never got much
rest that night. listening to Sucf

passed out in the morning TO an
other travelling man who took me
10 the barber shop. There wasn't
much doing in the BARRIERS that
day. but that evening things began
to pick up: shortly after closing
