Wilson Coby the method of sharing the market, deter
mine the prices paid farmers for cattle and paid by
for meat.
In 1906 1910, 1928 and 1882, government suits
brought against the large meat packers to enon them from
fixing livestock prices assigning shipping quotas and imposing
fines those who shipped quantity larger than that agreed
upon who attempted to undersell.
Despite these SUITS according to Monograph No 81 (p

Land BANK
COLLECTIONS
imp Rove

General improvement in agricul-
tural conditions are reflected in col
lections made by the federal land
banks on farm mortgages during the
year ended June 80, the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture said today. Ex-
ceptions were recorded only in the
Springfield, Massachusetts and Balti-
more districts. Cash collections have
been higher in 33 states and Puerto
Rico. The most outstanding improve
ments have been in Georgia, Alabama,
North Dakota and South Dakota De
creases were recorded in Is states,
the largest in Maine and Florida.
1.-THE large number of instances in
which farmers have paid off all their
Indebtedness to the land banks per-
haps is a reflection, in part, of in
creased activity in the farm real
estate market" said A. G. Black, gov
ernor of the farm credit administra-
ton, "but this by no means reflects
a boom in the sale of farms. Rather
it shows an active market in many
areas at slightly higher prices. The
complete pay-offs, prior to maturity,
numbered 18,4G4, an increase of about
one-fourth during the 12-month period
ended June 80 of this year. In six
of the land bank districts the increase
was 25 per cent or more.
All matured installments on 80 per
cent Nof the land bank loans were
fully paid on June 3d. 1941 This is
an increase of about per cent over
the situation a year earlier. All farm
credit districts reflected higher pro-
portion of loans in this classification,
the greatest change occurring in the
Columbia IS. CO., Wichita (Kans),
and Berkeley (Calif.) districts. Like
wise there was recorded a decrease in
the proportion of total loans delin-
quent or extended in Al states, the
largest decreases occurring in Flor
ida, Puerto Rico and Kansas. AL
though this reflects, in part, improved
collection conditions, the reamortiza-
ton program and other special col
lection plans have contributed much
toward the decrease in delinquencies
During the first six months of 1941,
according to the report, 1858 formal
extensions were granted involving
SIS, 100000, decrease of 27 per cent
in number and 81 per cent in amount
from the comparable period in 1910

There seems to be general dis
satisfaction on the Hill over airplane
production figures. Some lay it to
shortage of material, such as alumni
mum, while others to the mushroom
growth of an industry that hasn't as
yet attained the highest degree of
efficiency. But with newly built
plants just coming into production,
these production figures are expected
to rise sharply from now on.
The Commission on Physical Rehabil-
itation recommends a governmental
nanced voluntary physical rehabilita-
ton program for those rejected for
army service because of physical de-

ure = and is believed largely to be
caused by the protracted depression.
In the opinion of Albert w.
president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the
best way for labor to promote nation
al unity is for labor to give up it's
objective of the closed shop. Perhaps
the best way for the Chamber of Com
