half per cent milk at 9A cents, five
per cent at 1912 cents. Milk will be
sold out of the stores at 10 cents
lie cents and 12 cents and be de-
livered at u cents, 13 cents and
1872 cents.
Under the present setup milk has
not been standardized into Ine
three classes, as would be necessary
under the state program, and has
been delivered for II cents per
quart.
Purpose of the fixed price rate,
according to valley observers, is to
establish basic price on all grades
of milk and eliminate price cutting
practices by small percentage OF

The tourist should be routed for our
mutual benefit. If we send him up the

he is lost for time at least. If he

B. Encourage county forests.
6. Encourage the use of the 5-mill

Other potentialities such as sugar
maple and wild rice should be inves-

How Forest Lands of Northeast
Minnesota Can be RehabiLitated

Der year after a century of logging
The Lakes States will soon find it i'm
possible to maintain an average an
nual cut of one billion feet under
the present policy of cutting.
In return for the state and federal
regulations imposed on the private land
owners, the public can offer many ideas
to the private owners which will have
mutual benefits.
We recommend the following:
l. Make study of tax inequalities
to encourage permanent productive
management.
2. Complete land use survey. A
coming program should follow.
8. Eliminate faults of tax forfeiture
land sales. Require recent appraisal
on lands offered. Before lands are
sold, determine if they are suitable TO,
agriculture, or if they should be re-
tanned. Place minimum price on land
to protect surrounding values. REQUIRE

@. Why should Americans buy De-

A. Among the reasons are: Cd II
is the quickest way in which every
citizen can both serve his country and
conserve his earnings, and ca the pur-
chase of the Bonds and Stamps helps
not only to finance National Defense
but also to prevent high prices and
increased cost of living.
Q. Can pledge Defense Bond as
collateral for a bank loan?
A. No. Bonds are registered and
not transferable. They are payable
only to the persons named on the Bond
Motto buy Defense Bonds and
Stamps, go to the nearest post office,
bank, or savings and loan association;

States, Washington, D. c., for a mail

ulations, and the watershed control
must also be considered. The dollars
and cents "cut out and get out" pro-
cedure of the past is horrible ex-
ample of what should not be done.
How different the picture would
be If we were employing 5000 men
from our communities each year in
the logging industry.
The public has been paying for
protecting private holdings and has
given many aids to them. We feel
that the public is entitled to require
all logging to meet at least the min
imum requirements for our interests.
We suggest letting the state admin
lister this control, and if that fails
have the federal service assist or take
