In almost every city and town of
the country, statistics show. the
amount of canned milk has in
creased by leaps and bounds in the
last few years, while the sales of
fresh milk have declined. More and
more families are finding that their
household budgets are balanced
more easily by using canned milk
instead of paying present prices for
fresh milk.
Without in the slightest degree in
tending any such thing, the New

FEED COSTS RULE
IN DAIRY PROFITS
Production Expense Is Not
Easily Brought Down.

Bv c. s Rhode of the Dairy Department
University OF Illinois.-WNU Service.
A higher net return from the dairy
herd is in store for many dairymen
if they give careful attention to feed
costs, quality of roughage supplies,
dairy prices and demand for dairy
products. 1t is to the producers adj
vantage to lower production costs
whenever possible. Many items that
enter into the cost of production.
such as man labor, shelter and In
terest on investment are not readily
adjusted downward However, the
cost of feed which is the largest sim
gle item of expense may be twice
as much on some farms as on 9TH
ers. The kind of cows kept has
lot to do with low production costs,
but the ration and the way cows
are fed can not be overlooked.
1t is an easy matter to determine
the amount and kind of purchased
feed required. Those who follow
such a procedure usually feed good
rations at the lowest cost and find
radical, expensive changes unneces-
sary.
Low prices for farm grains and
adequate supplies of both roughage
and gram Indicate the ACCESSIBILITY of
using farm grains extensively in the
dairy ration and keeping feed pur-
chases to minimum. On many
farms where cream is sold and
where plenty of high quality legume
hay, corn and oats are available, a
grain mixture of equal parts of corn
and oats fed according to produc-
ton with all the good hay the cows
want has much to commend it.
Under most conditions dairymen
will wish to add some high protein
supplement to farm grains. Soy
bean oilmeal, cottonseed meal and
soy beans are among the cheapest
sources of protein and will probably
continue to be throughout the win
ter.
Balancing the grain mixture to
fit the available roughage is wise
practice. If the available roughage
supply consists only of good legume
hay. the grain mixture should con-
tain 10 to Il per cent total protein.
If the roughage is partly legume
and partly non-legume, the grain
mixture should contain IL to Is per-
cent total protein. With a non
legume, a grain mixture of Is to Ia
per cent total protein is recommend
ed. Unless the hay is of high quail
ity, the percentage of protein in the
| grain mixture should approximate
the larger amounts suggested.
When large amounts of roughage
are used and the grain mixture is
made up largely of farm grains,
it is recommended that one and
one-half to two pounds of special
steamed bone meal be added tc
each 100 pounds Of grain mixture
Similar amounts of salt may be
added.
The possibility of culling the lower
producers from the herd as an aic
in lowering production costs is
worthy of consideration. This move
on the part of dairymen would be
doubly valuable under conditions 0.
record supplies and heavy produc
ton.

preference for fresh milk in hun
dreds of thousands of homes.
Back in the early days of the
fumbling attempts Of AAA to regu-
late the milk industry, substan-
tial start toward this consumma-
tion-although II awas never an OBJ
jectivc-was made. At that time
the Triple A frowned on chain stores
cutting prices on milk and cream,
The Triple A didn't like anything
about the system which made this
cutting possible.
When Triple A clamped down on
the New England chain stores for
cutting cream prices, the sales went
down in terms of thousands of gal
Ions. Which resulted. of course. VI
the co-operatives having to make a
great deal more butter, which, in
turn, complicated the butter surplus
problem. Mind you, the cham
stores were commanded to charge
higher prices for this cream-te
make bigger profits on the amount
handled than they wanted 10.
Turnover Profits.
This is not a defense of the morals
of the chain store operators. No
one thought anything else than that
the operators thought they would
make more money by selling a LOT
of cream at a smaller profit. And
they we're right. Presumably the
AAA executives thought that if the
chain stores stopped cutting cream
prices, the concerns delivering fresh
milk and cream would get more
business. Maybe the Triple A ex-
eeutives even thought eventually
they could reduce cream prices to
everybody.
But that was not what happened.
When the price was put up in the
chain stores, people stopped buying
so much. In fact chain store sales
of cream approached the vanishing
point, while sales of cream by the
delivery companies remained pre-
cisely as they were.
There was no attack on the de-
livery price of cream as being UNI
reasonable. The profit was not ex-
orbitant. But the chain stores we're
able to sell more cheaply because
they had no delivery expense, and
no loss on bad debts.
Result. Poorer people, to whom
a few cents on bottle of cream is
important, turned to canned milk,
not because they wanted 10. but be-
cause it was that or no cream at
all.

In appraising Taft as weak
speaker, however, they are now
afraid they were counting their
chickens prematurely. Taft is GER
tainly not in Deweys class as a
speaker, but apparently he puts his
points over on the radio. Worse,
from the New Deal standpoint, he
wins 66 to 81 per cent division of
listeners polled on his long series of
debates with Representative Smith.
Believed Taft Too Reactionary.
This has caused some hurried re-
calculations on the part of Repub-
ican leaders too. Many of them
had been saying, especially after
the Taft fiasco-as most of them re-
Varded it, in his speeches before the
Gridiron diners and before the edi-
tors--that Taft was too much of a
reactionary--that he opposed too
many of the things the New Deal
had done-that the people would
never follow him.
To appreciate this, it must be re-
membered that the Republican
leader of the senate is Charles L.
McNary of Oregon. Now McNary is
one of the shreWdest politicians in
the business, but he certainly has
never been numbered among the
devastating critics of the New Deal.
In his own political career McNary
has been SO successful, as contrast
ed with such hard hitter as l.. j.
Dickinson, of Iowa, for example,
that there is quite a cult among the
Republicans in favor of pussyfoot-
ing.
Hence the importance of this sur
prising showing that Taft has made
as result of his debates with
Smith.

Tax Changes 4lrait
End OF " aiting Game

Tax changes to aid business re-
covery are long on lip service and
short on action, with President
Roosevelt, the treasury and con-
gress all playing waiting game.
Congress is willing TO act, but is
not willing to stick its neck out.
The treasury is eager to act but its
first real move toward action-an
inspired story given to the Associat-
ed Press outlining four important
proposals. promptly brushed
aside by the President as referring
to mere estimates" supplied on re-
quest from congressman. The
President sticks to his announced
plan: Congress can do anything it
wants to do to encourage business in
the way of tax revision but the es-
timated cash returns to the treas
ury from business must not be re-
| duced
The President leaves it to con-
gress to take the initiative but
doesn't like any setup for tax revi-
sion that he has seen.
The treasury knows just what it
wants and finds itself In rather sur
prising agreement with the conserv-
alive Democrats on Capitol Hill,
headed by Pat Harrison, chairman
of the senate finance committee, and
Robert L. Doughton, chairman of
the house ways and means COM
mittee. Most important of the
treasury's proposals are:
Elimination of present undistrib-
uted profits, capital stock and ex-
cess profits taxes. Substitution of
a fiat rate corporation income levy
OF not more than 20 per cent, with
special treatment for incomes under
SIS, 900.
Higher-Bracket Tax Reduction.
Reduction in higher-bracket per-
sonal income taxes from a maxi
mum of rs per cent to a maximum
of SO per cent actually, treasury
experts have believed for several
administrations that SO per cent pro-
vides the maximum revenue.)
Authorization for corporations to
carry over tax credits for losses
for three years instead of one.

SCH00LB0Y
Lynwood Rowe Is Looked
Upon as Likely TO Be
Season S Winner
BY DILLON GRAHAM
APP Feature Sports Writer

LAKELAND, Fla, April 6.-There
may be a sweeter ending this time
to perhaps the saddest baseball story
of last spring, the fruitless comeback
struggle of the Detroit Schoolboy
1t was just a year ago that Lyn-
wood Rowe, the Tigers great young
pitcher of 1934-35-36. was trying TO
coax his sore arm back into shape
for another fling in the majors. He
was game and he tried hard and
everyone was pulling for him. But
every time he threw the ball there
was an ache in his right shoulder.
Like a neurotic old woman, he
went from one doctor to another. He
tried one rubbing liniment after an
other. He even went on wild goose
tears to mysterious dispensers Of
herbs. Always searching for the
elusive salve that might cure his
ailment.
Dozens of x-ray pictures were tax
en-. But doctors couldn't locate the
source of his trouble. TT was just
a little spot, about the size Of a
match-head, at the right shoulder
Joint" Rowe explained. But every
time he raised his arm it hurt. He
couldn't really throw the ball. He
was just pushing it up to the plate
Bask to Minor League
So they finally gave up on the
Schoolboy and shipped him off to
the minors. He went to Beaumont
in the Texas League.
IT decided to take it easy down
there" he says. Il resolved not to
strain my arm under any condition.
If I couldn't win games without
straining it. I'd just lose the games.
Only once during the season did 1
rare back and put all had on my
fast ball. / just tried to outsmart
'em with a curve and a change of
pace"
And the records show how well he
did. He won IL games and lost only
two. And his control was so good
that he walked only Is men all
season.
Now he's back with the Tigers,
with club that has strengthened
itself for a serious assault on the
New York Yankees. And he knows
that the Tigers pennant hopes de-
pend largely on his pitching and
on that of the kid rookie, Fred
Hutchinson from Seattle.
MY arm hasn't hurt at all this
spring" he says. Last year I was
just pushing the ball up to the plate.
Now I'm throwing it. And I've got
a fair fast ball. 1t doesn't compare
with the one 1 used to have but it
is speedy enough to get by.
