AFTER MORE
COULEE CASH

To be sure that at least $13,0Ou,-
600 additional is made available for
speeding up work on Grand Coulee
dam, Representative Leavy is working
with the reclamation and budget bur
eaus to obtain a supplemental estimate
asking this amount.
In his outline of proposed PWA ex-
penditures, Secretary 1ckes listed
$15,0O0,000 for Grand Coulee. There
is no assurance that Secretary Iokes
will get as much PWA money as he
has asked, and to guard against this
contingency Leavy is asking for a
supplemental budget estimate which
would justify including another $13,-
100000 in the final deficiency ap-
preparation bill to be passed just be-
fore adjournment.
A relief bill will pass ahead of the
deficiency bill, and if out of that re-
lief fund Secretary Ickes is given
what he has asked for reclamation, and
if he allocates SIS 100000 for Grand
Coulee, Leavy plans to abandon his
deficiency bill plans.

Use More Dairy
Products, Urged
By The Producer
PrOclamatiOns are Issued
Throughout Nation Ask
ing Increase.

The increased use of dairy pro-
10 to July 10 will be a popular
achievement in the eyes of the dairy
industry and it is hoped by leaders
that the increase will become per-
manent in an effort to make for
better market conditions in that field.
The dairy cooperatives and indie
pendents handling dairy products ma
tionally, together with more than
100000 retail sales outlets all over
the nation, are participating in a
voluntary effort to move into con-
sumption as quickly as possible the
vast quantities of surplus dairy pro-
ducts. c. G.. Baughman, president
of the Minnesota Retail and General
Merchants Association, has urged all
members of his organization to join
in this drive.
In face of the fact that Mime
sofas dairy farmers are already fac
ing serious losses from declining
prices of all dairy products and in
conjunction with the national move
ment, Gov. Elmer A. Benson is
sued a proclamation designating the
months activity. The SURPRISES of
butter, cheese and dried milk are in
creasing due to the reduced con-
sumption, partly caused by the bust
ness recession and increased produc-
ton resulting from unusually favor
able pasture conditions.
