A. The contract specifies that
both the number of Filters farrow-
ed and the number Of pigs raised
for market must be reduced IS per
cent under the average for the base
period. That would mean that if
your spring pigs died, you could
not increase your fall narrowing to
make up for it. You would still get
your entire benefit payment, how
ever, even If your 1884 pigs did.
Q. I raise 40 acres of corn per
year and put it all into silos. al
so keep about 80 brood sows. Will
I be allowed to sign a corn-hog re-
duction contract, and If so, how
can 7 determine my yield Of ear
corn per acre?
A. According to the above state
ment, you will be allowed to enter
into a hog reduction contract, but
you need not enter into a corn re-
duction contract. Under this ar
rangement you would not be allow
ed TO plant a larger acreage Of corn

crop acres above your average for
1892 and 1888. If you have planted
an average Of more than ten acres
of corn for grain during the past
two years, you will be required to
reduce your total corn acreage 20
per cent below the average acreage
planted in 1892 and 1888.
Q. Why does the government re-
fuse to make loans on shelled corn
stored in bonded warehouses in
Minnesota?
A. Government regulations for
bid the making of loans on both
shelled corn and ear corn in any
one state. Loans on ear corn af-
ford the greatest benefit to the
largest percentage of corn growers
and can be made at much less ex-
pense, since the cost of storage is
eliminated. The restrictions placed
by the government upon the max
ing of loans on shelled corn are
such that relatively few borrowers
could qualify.

conclusion of his very practical
talk.
Leonard Houske, secretary of the
Minnesota Creamery Operators and
Managers Association, with the
Minnesota Dairy and Food Depart
ment for dozen years, was the
principal speaker of the afternoon.
Mr.. Houske stated that the Co
operatives always pay what they
can for butterfat while the Cen
tralizers will pay what they must.
He cited instances where Central
izers paid 1915 cents less in one
town than the same company did
in another town 81 miles distant.
In the latter place they were in
competition with a functioning Co.
operative creamery.
Mr.. Houske said he was gratif1ed
to notice that the Sank Lake
creamery showed a per cent in
crease output over last year. He
congratulated the patrons upon
their fine spirit of cooperation and
harmony displayed at the meeting.
He believed the outlook for the
future was encouraging.
Canada, Mr.. Houske said, uses
one-third more butter per capita
than the people Of the United
States. The per capita yearly con-
sumption in the United States
was 1S pounds per year. He in
sisted that if the consumption was
normal it should be practically one
pound per week per person.
p. The tubercular cattle should and
must be eliminated. He said that
the fight waged in the state during
the past 10 years had decreased the
tubercular cattle 81 per cent. Mr.
Houske congratulated the creamery
on the fine showing of the butter
maker, Walter Schriver, who was
the only man in the state to win
the state championship two years
in succession, and topping that
with winning the national cham
pionship at Mason City, Iowa, last
year. This was made possible by
the patrons of the Sank Lake
Creamery furnishing Walter the
type of butter fat with which to
make championship butter.
Walter was introduced and re-
sponded briefly. He thanked Mr..
Houske for his kind words and
said the farmers of the commun-
ity made it possible for him to win.
He said Sc per cent of the 1888
make was eligible to be branded
Land OIakes because it scored 90
or better. He held to the belief
that a bit more care by the farm
ers this average could be increased
to 80 per cent. Before adjourn
ment President Lying thanked the
Herald and Herald editor for the
splendid cooperation and support
given the Sank Lake Association
for many years.
M. p. Mortenson, field man, said
that the efficiency rating of the
Sank Lake creamery was $3.50 per
cent. One-half point below the top
in the state. esF

Were trying to find some way in

Jones, Chairman of tie Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, announced
today, Immediately after President
Roosevelt, during his press confer

The administrat ion may finance
trade with Russia through single

take form of trading banks. Jones
pointedly declared that the trans

"This will not be white chip game"
he said.
It is understood that the admin
