Neus Letter

By Congressman Harold Knutson
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins made very inn
portant statement on the feed relief
situation while at Chicago last Fri
day when he announced that under
the new policy adopted by the re-
lief administration the government
will waive the limits set in the past
both on feed loans made to farmers
in the drouth states and on direct
grants for feed purchase. Under the
old plan farmers could borrow n
sum equal to $500 per head on their
livestock and outright grants were
limited to $500. Under the new pol
icy each farmer will be treated as
an individual case and according to
his individual needs.
The eastern press has played up
the episode at the State Capitol last
week when dying horses and cattle
were hauled to the front entrance
of the State Capitol. This action
served to focus the attention of
Washington upon our dire neces-
sity and no doubt had something to
do with the liberalization of the re-
lief program announced by Mr..
Hopkins.
In the Fordney McCumber tariff
bill which was enacted into law in
1922, an import duty of cents per
pound on butter was given to the
American dairyman but later on
this was found to be insufficient
and in 1926 President Coolidge is
sued an Executive Order increasing
the tariff by so per cent, or to II
cents per pound, which was done
under the sn-called "inflexible" pro
vision Of the afore mentioned act.
When the Hawley+Smoot tariff
bill was enacted in 1880 we sue
ceeded in getting a further in
crease on this duty of 2 cents per
pound or IA cents. Under this tar
iff imports OF butter have been
very nominal. During the calen-
dar year 1882 such imports only
amounted to 1,O14, 400 pounds val
ued at $212, $4,000. For the calendar
year 1888 the amount was 1,021 BOG

Good shows-Bad shows-How
are we to get what we want? All
the blame is thrown at the theatre
manager and he can't help himself
Managers until recently were fore
ed to obtain pictures by block
booking. Six months or years
supply of pictures were purchased
at once, and this group contained
II or IA special shows featuring a
Greto Carlo or Barrymore. The
rest of the pictures sent in this
booking had to be shown as they
were paid for and no alternate was
obtainable and the poor manager
could make no further choice or
complaint During the past year,
the picture business has had q
purging by the Decency League
started by the Catholic church and
later followed by all other church
es. Pressure was brought to bear
on the producer and If manager
now receives a picture he decides
Is immoral he does not have to ex-
hibit or pay for it." This is only
part OF a splendid paper given by
Mrs. H c. Holcomb at Gradatim

producers ranged from 141s cents
to 1914 cents per pound, he bid
ding Is cents. He goes on to say:
well, what happened? A cargo
of milk from Holland came in and
they quoted 13% cents. The Dutch
milk is just as good quality as
domestic and OF course, the 1914
cents was the good buy. However,
they called us over the phone and
advised of the situation and said
they had determined to offer us
what we might care to take at 1872
cents delivered. We took three cars
at that price.

pounds, valued at $160, 626.OO. For
the calendar year 1884 the imports
amounted to 1,253, 1892 pounds val
ued at s209,580.00. but there has
been startling increase in butter
imports since the first of the year.
According to Department of Com
merce figures the imports up to
February 20 were 1,S06,29 pounds
of butter, most of 1t coming from
New Zealand. On March 8 the
steamship Port Gisbourne from
Wellington, New Zealand, will ar
rive in New York with a cargo of
81 900 boxes Of butter which will
bring the total imports for the
first two months of this year up to
4, 11S,000 pounds. According to adj
vices this ship Is carrying consid-
erably more than $1,000 boxes Of
butter but the true figures are not
given for fear Of depressing the
price before the boat arrives
The American dairyman cannot
compete with New Zealand where
the cattle are on green pasture the
year around, whilst we are compel
led to feed our cattle at least five
months in the year. According to
the fastest advice from home but.
ter fat Is now bringing about 3S
cents. Under normal conditions this
would be a very satisfactory price
but 1t must be borne in mind that
feeds and hay are from 100 to 300
per cent higher than normal and
according to present prices Of feed.
butter fat should be at least so
cents per pound, but with the i'm
ports that are threatening us from
various countries there is a general
feeling that butter fat will not go
much higher.
AS I see it the solution lies in
Immediately increasing the tariff
on butter to 20 cents per pound
which would effectually keep out
the foreign product. The increase
could either be ordered by the
President under the power that he
now has under the flexible provis-
ion or by an act of Congress. The
former would get us speedier ac-
ton and that is what we need.
Several days ago I was shown a
letter from the president of dairy
company in Michigan, manufacture

that for years they have sold much

AEET STORM

A severe sleet storm Sunday ev-
ening caused considerable damage
to telephone and electric lines, and
also broke several limbs from trees
in this community. The waterfall
was great and as a result the
pavement under the great North
ern viaduct was impossible. Owing
to the depth of water there, 1t was
necessary to place detour signs on
Main Street. Sidewalks and roads
were very slippery Monday morn
ing, but during the day the ice
melted. Monday evening another
heavy rain fell, which changed to
snow and Tuesday morning mother
earth was covered with a blanket
of the beautiful. The moisture is
very welcome. but the icey roads
and sidewalks caused great incon-
veneince to both pedestrians and
drivers for some little time.
