Chairman Kmg Of the Senate Milk

Chairman Kng Of the Senate Milk
Investigating Committee today indorsed
q proposal of leading members Of the
Maryland Virginia Milk Producers AS
, sociation to buy q local Independent
dairy and manufacture milk products
from market surplus.
1T seems to me to be q pretty good
scheme" Senator King said. II see no
reason why farmers should not process
and distribute the milk they produce" !"
The dairy-buytng plan was tndorSed
yesterday by Committee Counsel Elwood
H. Seal and is believed to have the sup
port also Of Senator McCarran Of
Nevada, vice chairman Of the Milk In
vestigating Committee
It is the plan Of proponents Of the
scheme either to use the huge reserve
fund which the milk producers associ-
alton has amassed In the last seven
years, or to borrow funds from the
Farm Credit Administration to finance
the project.
The last annual report Of the associ-
alton showed it had close to $500,000 in
the reserve fund and this was estimated
to be ample to carry out the project.
By processing surplus milk them
benefit from the retail price Of dairy
products and no ldAger would be forced
to sell the so-called surplus at price
far below the cost Of production.
The plan has been operated success
fully in other large cities where condf-
tions are similar to those here and
usually has resulted in drying up the
surplus of milk above that used for fluid
consumption. It also has resulted in
great increases in basic sales by the
farmers.

DOLLAR ADVANCES

British Pound Slips Below $6 Level

NEW YORK. January 18.-With the
proposed $2,0000 100000 stabilization
fund not yet created. and the r. F. G.
having withdrawn from the foreign
I gold market, the dollar developed pro-
nounced strength against the British
pound sterling today.
The pound dipped under the IS level
for the first time in months, and was
quoted well under the level indicated
by the London and Washington gold
prices. After an early rise In the dol
lar in London, sterling In New York
declined more than Z cents, getting
under $497
Rumors that British authorities might
be acting to depress the pound, possibly
indicating the beginning of currencny
war, were diScredited in foreign ex-
change circles 1t was pointed out that
such action. if aggressively conducted,
would require purchases Of dollars by
the British equalization fund, but the
British fund since the dollar was re-
moved from the gold standard has con-
fined its operations entirely to cur
rencies readily convertible into gold,
principally the French franc. The
pound sterling declined little In terms

Minnesota Good Roads
Committee Seeks Aid
Chairman Claims Township Roads
Could Be Built In Four Years
Under Proposed Program

Ole Langhaug, chairman of the
Minnesota Good Roads Committee,
of Evansville, was in Sank Centre
Friday attempting to get aid from
local businessmen in his work..
Mr.. Langhaug stated that the
committee was organized in. 1925,
for the purpose of relieving real
estate from the county and
township road building programs,
and to place the burden of building
roads on the state gasoline tax and
automobile license fees.
He also stated that in 1927 the
committee was instrumental in Sc
curing the set up of the county aid
road system, which cut road levies
from $18,927 ,862.O3 to 1886, 934.09, a
saving to counties of $10,O75, 027. "a.
One-third of the state gas tax
now goes to thegcounty aid system,
but in order to put over the pro
gram of the committee, which also
includes township roads, it is neces-
sary that one-half the amount be
made available for the purpose. "A
bill, providing for one-half the gas
tax to be spent on County and Town
ship roads, was defeated in the last
session Of the legislature.
Mr.. Langhaug stated that 1t is es-
timated that all township roads
could be built up in four years I'M
der this program.

Corn-Hog Signers
: Meeting Tonight
VIII Cast Ballots for or Against
Continuing Corn-Hog Reduction
Program In 1885

This Thursday night corn-hog
signers will gather in community
meetings to cast their ballots for
or against continuing the corn-hog
reduction program in 1885. The
Ashley and Sank Centre township
farmers will meet in the Progress
sive Farmers Club room, on High
way 50, south of this city. $
The questions on which corn-hog
signers will vote are: "Do you fav-
or an adjustment program dealing
with corn and hogs in 1882" do
you favor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
adjustment program dealing with
grains and livestock to become eff
fective in 1885,"
The Agricultural Adjustment Adj
ministration explains that the first
question deals only with the prin-
ciple of production adjustment,
without regard to any specific pro-
gram. A 1885 program, however,
would probably follow the general
plan of the 1884 program and would
include adjustment payments on
both corn and hogs. Such pay
ments would probably be some
what larger for corn acreage reduc-
ton and materially less for hog
reduction than they were in 1884,
Contracted acres could be used
without restriction for any hay, pas
ture, forage, fallow or woodlot pur-
pose. "Basic" crops (corn, wheat,
barley, rye, fax and grain sorg-
hums) would not be produced upon
contracted acres. The reduction
from the 1928 base production
would not be greater than that re-
quired in 1884 and might be less.
The second question involves US
ing a single contract covering all
basic crops grown on an individual
farm, instead of separate contracts
for individual crops. It might or
might not include control over
livestock production. -.
Chairmen of the community corn
hog committees have charge of the
community elections. Before TAX
ing the ballot, they explain the feed
and livestock situation to give pro-
ducers the facts before they decide
whether or not the control program
is to be continued.

Sheep Listed in Govt. -
!. Buying Program
Shipping Dates Will Be Announced
Next Week-Buying Will
Close Oct. 3Ist.

The attention of the cattle and
sheep producers of this county is
called to the fact that the cattle
buying program will be brought to
close on October 81, and for the
first time sheep are being listed for
sale to the government.
The requirements in the sheep
buying program are that each pro-
Queer list the number that he
wishes to sell with the County Ex-
tension Office, st. Cloud, and he will
later be advised as to when ship
ments will be made. The price be-
ng paid on sheep is $500 a head and
the requirements are that they be
ewes over one year old. Probably
not a great number of sheep will
be purchased in the county but it is
hoped at least several double decks
will be picked up from various por-
tions of the county.

WANT FREIGHT
RATES INCREASED
Ask 10 Percent on Potatoes, Cattle,
and Sheep-3c Per 100 On
Grain Shipments

st. Paul, October 1.-Shall rail-
way freight rates, on both inter-
state and intrastate shipments, be
materially increased in the near fu-
ture?
This question has been put up to
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission and the Inter
state Commerce Commission by
practically all railroads operating
in Minnesota and the Northwest.
The railroads have filed petitions
with the Minnesota Commission to
increase their rates, on shipments
originating and ending within the
borders Of this State, and the Inter
state Commerce Commission began
today hearing to consider pro-
posed increases on interstate ship
ments. The Minnesota Commission
is opposing the increases proposed
and is represented by c. J. Laurisch
one Of its members, who is an ex-
perienced attorney.
Upon leaving for Washington Sat-
urday, Commissioner Laurisch said:
Many Of the proposed increases
cover rates which have been the
subject of extensive hearings and
the most careful consideration by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Among them are merchan-
disc, grain, livestock, salt, iron and
steel. I feel that the increases
proposed are unreasonable and
should be opposed at this time es-
pecially, in view of the inability of
the shipping public to pay such in
creases in a time of dire want and
depression like this. In my pin
ion, nothing new can be offered to
show that increases in freight rates
are now justified and q believe the
Interstate Commerce Commission
should refuse to reopen the case
after the lengthy hearing of the
past two years. I am, however,
prepared to meet any arguments
that the railroad companies may
offer"
In their applications the rail-
roads ask for an increase of 10
percent on shipments of potatoes,
10 percent on shipments of cattle
beyond 200 mile zone, 10 percent
on hogs beyond 100 mile zone, 10
percent on sheep beyond 100 mile
zone, and an increase of cents per
100 pounds on grain.
Other proposed increases are 10
percent on iron and steel, 3 to 80
cents per ton on coal, and increases
on various other commodities of
from half a cent to cents per 100
pounds.
The proposed increase in the coal
rates would be especially burden
some, all being affected.
