Now he has Surplus of 30 cwts
of grain, which he intends selling
to the state.
Johann Hirsch, Postheim, was
middle farmer with rs acres of
land before the Revolution. He
does not like to look back on
these times, with their burden of
taxes, interest, debt on agricultur-
al implements, seed corn, etc.
What was left for his own use
was insignificant.
This year Hirsch and his fami-
ly can record 495 working days so
far and they hope to accomplish
400 more by the end of the year.
He receives over 80 cwts of grain
entirely at his own disposal. He
would not even have dreamed OF
such a result under former CAPT
talist conditions, and therefore hi
is extremely satisfied with the col.
lective.

FARM DOLLAR
DROPS AGAIN
Dept. of Ayr. Admits Farm
Prices Drop Continuously

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81.
the week ending Oct. II,
the purchasing power of the farm
ers' dollar has dropped again an
nounces the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
On Oct. IL it stood at SO as
compared with the Oct. A figure
of 81, according to weekly indexes
kept by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economies.
The index of prices for farm
products dropped to SO on Oct. II,
and the index of prices for the
things the farmers buy stood at
1865.
The Bureaus compilation shows
that on Oct. II the local market Of
wheat was Sc percent of the price
that would restore purchasing
power to pre-war parity; cotton
61.8 percent; corn, 48.1 percent
butterfat, 68.6 percent; beef cattle

WHEAT PROCESSING
TAX OF 30 CENTS
TO BE. INCREASED

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. ri.
1t is indicated here that the pro-
cessing tax of 80 cents bushel
on wheat will soon be increased.
The reason given is that farm
prices remain low while consumers
bread prices are climbing.
It is clear, however, that an in
crease in the processing tax will
cause bread prices to climb still
higher, with the result that the
amount of bread consumed will
drop. Net result-a decrease of
the farmers market.

TO SELL MILK FOR
8 CENTS A QUART
HURTS MILK TRUST
Distributor Who Does so Is
Being Investigated by
Ayr. Adj. Adm.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Fl.
For selling milk below the price
established by the Philadelphia
milk shed marketing agreement, F.
S. Miley, a milk distributor of Ep-
hrata, Pa, is being investigated
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
Miley has been selling milk for
Is cents a qurt. The Philadelphia
milk shed agreement provides for
price of IL cents quart. This
agreement" was made by the fed
eral government, the milk trust,
and the Interstate Milk Producers
Assn, dairy farmers cooperative
which has become a tool of the
milk trust.
Many rank and file members Of
the Interstate were present at the
hearings for the Philadelphia mill
shed agreement, and they protest
ed vigorously against the terms
of the agreement. The main point
which the dirt farmers objected t.
were continuation of the surplus
and "basic" racket, and the pro-
vision that certain amount of tn
price which the farmer gets 70
his milk has to be taken out an,
paid to the crooked officials of tn

One TAX CAUSES
MANY MORE TAXES
Processing Tax Brings Tax
on Competing Products

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20.
On the assumption that the pro-
cesSing tax to be levied on hogs
and pork products will put these
products at a disadvantage in their
competition with cattle and calves,
sheep and lambs, vegetable oils
including cottonseed oil, palm oil,
and cocoanut oil, fish and seafood
products, and poultry and eggs,
Secy. Wallace has issued a call for
a public hearing to determine
whether or not to levy COM
pensatory taxes against these pro-
ducts.
Another hearing will determine
whether compensatory taxes would
be placed against cane and beet
sugar and syrup, imported starch
es, including cassava, tapioca
flour, prepared tapioca, crude
sage, sage flour, arrowroot starch
and arrowroot flour, molssses and
brewers rice and screenings, be-
cause of their competition with
corn, which will have processing
tax.

COLLEGE. EXPENSE

Marquette's Student Buying
Power Over S1,OO0,OOO;
Financial Wizardry High.
By the Associated Press.


| MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 27.-The
scale of college student expenditures, as
scored by Mary Louise Curran in a
masters thesis for Marquette University
| reveals some interesting and amusing
variations.
A questionnaire sent to 293 repre-
| sentative fellow students formed the
! basis tor the conclusions, one of which
was that the local buying power of
/ Marquette's student body for the school
year is well in excess of $1,000 900.
Not little financial wizardry is indi-
Gated among the responses. Miss Cur
ran writes, for most of the students
state they have an income of around
! $40 a month, and expenditures of $50
and up" This, however, is explained
by the fact that at the beginning CT the
year considerable money is allotted for
textbooks and insurance premiums. in

broken down into the following parts

cents; laundry, "a cents; movies and

Insurance gets 81 cents; fraternity

penses, 95 cents; between-meal sun

they are all distinguished in their
own field, and most of them are as
thoroughly adaptable as the
opinions of a "yes-man" in Holly
wood.
America, which once knew cheese
only as a lone, lorn square adjoining
the inevitable apple pie, has come,
of late years, to know many of the
joys of cheese in its wider adapta-
tions--in it's use as an important
and versatile daily food. For cheese
is no novice on the tables of the
world. The Romans dined expan-
sively upon it, and fell back to
Romanesque dreams Of grandeur.
Even the Greeks had a name for it,
and the cheese cakes of the epicures
are held in some quarters to have
been largely responsible for the care
free philosophy of the Hedonists.
And cheese today-here in Amer
ica-comes to the table at any and
every hour for dining. 1t comes
on with the soup-grated and pun
gent-a distinct flip to the indif-
ferent appetite. 1t leaves the table
laSt-after fruit, crackers and coffee
to linger in the memory as the
perfect finish to the meal. 1t goes
up the steeple in the steeple- climb
ers' lunch box in the form of the
reliable, almost classic American
favorite, the cheese sandwich. 1t
provides the piece de resistance in
the nursery, in the form of "Phila-
delphia" cream and jam on toast!
1t steams in, with a devilish look,
but a guileless purpose and entirely
harmless effect, in the form of
Welsh rabbit!
Americans have come to know
many varieties of cheese, and many
kinds of cheese dishes. Perhaps
dearest to the heart of the Amer
lean cheese lover are the simple,
Well-knoWn, long time favorites-
American cheese with it's firm, full
favored body, and the nutlike Swiss
not to mention the sharper, more
tangy old English or the f1avorful
limburger and brick. All of these
American hostesses are using in
ever-1ncreasing quantity, in ever
increasing variety of uses.
From the most substantial entree
to the most airy party tid-bit.
cheese fulf1lls valuable service in
the preparation of meals. American
and Swiss, the all-milk cheese foods
which are mild and particularly
valuable in the preparation of chill
oren's FOODS, and the sharper va
rleties of cheddar, old English types,
are ideal for a variety of daily uses.
