since then. 1t does, however. explain
why sections of the United States
that were practically bankrupt in
1888 are now among the most pros
porous in the country, with rising
prices of farm lands, reduced bank
loans and mortgages, ana buying
power that has exerted the main in
fluence on the automobile and i'm
plement trades and also over those
national distributors Of merchandise
that are now showing sucE remark
able increase in their 1885 sales. 1t
might be added that, in those areas
where farm products have risen, the
life insurance companies at the end
of 1888 had mortgages of $780,
100000.
Whether the policy of the Roose-
welt administration of helping the
farmer get on his feet, after the
cruel defiation of 1931-l932, was sound
economically and socially, and in the
general interest of the people of the
United States, is deDatable. This

covery. On the other hand, it is a
program that may be carried too far
and, through too great freedom of
application, become inimical to the
general good.
1t is encouraging, therefore, to see
the Senate this week voting to check
the power of the Secretary of Agri-
ct still leaves him with too much
latitude in price flxing) At the same
time the amendments have not de-
MED the right to sue 5ne Government
over processing taxes. The petitioner,
however, must show that he has not
passed along the tax TO the consumer.

WINCHESTER, Va, July 27.-The
1886 apple exporting season has
gotten under way with volume ship
ments to ports CT the United King
dom from here and other points in
Virginia.
Many growers have heretofore pre-
ferred not to risk shipments of such
early varieties as Transparents and
Duchess, but are responding to an
apparent demand for the fruit by
British merchants.
About 10000 bushels Of the Vir-
ginia fruit arrived at English ports
this week and approximately the same
number is in transit, and probably
will be in the market next Wednes-
Gay.
Virginia Transparents brought from
$1.73 to $2.10 a bushel basket in Lon
con this week, while those packed in
barrels brought from $5.94 to $6.19 at
Liverpool. Gable reports said most of
the American apples now being sold
in British markets were from Vir-
ginia.

SWINE VALUES
TURN uneven
General Bulk Unchanged
LightWeightS Mostly
Is Cents HIGHER.

Initial trading interest in the
pork market at the Indianapolis
Stockyards today centered in the
lightweight division, where prices
were largely 25 cents higher than
yesterdays sharp upturn. The gen.
eral bulk, however, was practically
unchanged.
Receipts continued at an extreme
ly light level and a heavy demand
was evident throughout the various
classes. Today's supplies were esti-
mated at 1000, an increase of 800
compared with yesterdays figures.
Despite the closing of various stock,
grain and commodity exchanges to-
morrow in observance of Washing
tons birthday, the local livestock
market will remain open as usual.
The bulk, 100 to 300 pounds, was
selling at 50 to 500, while Weighty
kinds, ranging from 300 pounds and
upward, sold at $685. to $685.. Top
price held at 1915 Light grades,
weighing 100 to 100 pounds, cashed
in at $3.50 to $3.50, while slaughter
pigs, scaling 100 to 100 pounds,
brought $3.50 to $7.25. Packing sows
held at SITS to 1925. Holdovers
numbered ISL.
With trading continuing active in
practically all classes of slaughter
steers in the cattle market, the price
trend was strong to slightly higher
than yesterday. Bulk Of steers
ranged from $11 down. Trading in
terest was dull. in other kinds and
prices were mostly steady. Receipts
were 800. Vealers lost the previous
advance, moving so cents lower at
SO down. Receipts were 500.
With interest still lacking in the
lamb market, practically no change
was displayed in any classes and
prices were fully steady. Bulk Of
better classes was Salable at $3.50
to $875, while extremely heavy
kinds brought 1925 down. Throw
outs cashed in at So down. Slaughter
sheep sold at S. down. Receipts
were $500.

NEXT-DATED BUTTER
Poet Helps DeUiSe Unique Scheme

York and Jersey farmers get more
for milk, so of course they con-
centrate on that. You have to get
a certain distance away from
big city before it pays the farmer
to make butter. That is why Min
nesota and Iowa are the big but
ter creameries."
And the result is, said Mr. Low
enfels, that New York gets its
butter IN tubs. Some is shipped in
slow freightS, some IN trucks, but
all tub butter absorbs odors and
loses its freshness when it is eX-
posed to air. Most of the print
butter which New York eats is
merely tub butter which is pack
aged when it arrives here.
So while he was in Paris, Mr..
Lowenfels hit upon the idea of
butter control. BY a coincidence
his brother Alfred, in charge of
tie family business in New York,
was working along the same lines.
Walter supplied the vision and
Alfred the technique.
First they devised "a open win
dow" cellophane package. Then
they had confected a special white
inner fiber for the container
which die not impart an odor to
the imprisoned butter. On the
waXed paper in which the butter
was wrapped they made the
creamery perforate the date when
it came out of the churn.
Once out of the creamery-hy a
special process which prevented
actual human contact with the
butter-into the unique package,
the butter was sped to New York
in refrigerated truck. But an
other difficulty remained to be
solved. That was to prevent ex-
posture to the air of unused butter
when part of the quarter-pound
bricks was being consumed. A spe-
cial glass dish was devised and
butter control" accomplished.

without losing its original taste.
Only farmers and their families
have taste1 fresh butter, said Mr..
LoWenfels. Residents Of the cities
never have, because it is from
eight to fourteen days before the
ultimate consumer puts it on his
bread.
The difference was brought
home to lIr. LoWenfels when he
first arrived in France.
French butter in Paris had a
very buttery taste, unlike Amer
lean butter in New York, because
it is drawn from the surrounding
countryside
New York City has to get its
butter from Michigan, Indiana

there. Why? Because New York

NRA decided last August that the

retail solid fuel code. The present
proceeding is a new attempt by the
textile mills to obtain exemption.
