Milk Producers
Will Benefit
Stote Forecasts
Price Increases

CLEANSING, May 12-(R-The
Dairying Bureau of the State
Department of Agriculture said
today Michigan milk producers
are expected to benefit consid-
erably from increased butterfat
prices as we'll as high produc-
ton this year.
Both milk and egg production
have increased because of the
early spring, new grass and con-
tinued liberal feeding, the state
and federal crop reporting serv-
ice said, listing May 1 produc-
ton of milk per cow and egg
production per 100 hens on re-
porting Michigan farms as APP
proximately four per cent larger
than on the same date . year
ago.
The Dairying Bureau said that
while the peak of milk produc-
ton in Michigan generally is
reached in the first week of June
it is expected to be a week or
10 days earlier this year due to
advanced pasture conditions.
Pointing out that butter prices
are approximately seven cents
per pound above quotations a
year ago, the Dairying Bureau,
said that higher prices which
might continue during an early
peak production would result in
a considerable increase in the
yearly return to producers.
Dairying Bureau officials said,
however, that with increased
butter prices consumers would
become more critical of the quail
ity of the product. They said the
bureau was working with feder-
al authorities on uniform poll
cies for enforcement of regula-
tions concerning milk produc-
ton, handling and processing.
Dairy inspectors are engaged
now, bureau officials said, in
checking milk supplies for resort
areas and in checking ice cream
plants for the coming season.

oNEW YORK, May 12-(R-N
you've ever driven q feather
weight cupboard motorboat at
41.657 miles an hour, you know
that aside from keeping both
hands on the wheel, its also
sensible to keep both eyes ahead.
But Fred Jacoby, who won the
14th annual Albany to New York
marathon yesterday and aver
aged that tidy little speed all the
way, confessed afterword that
more than once during the home
stretch he was tempted to look
behind.
II wanted to see whether my
motor was still strapped to the
hull or whether my ship was
moving from force of habit" he
said.
Fred began fretting about the
motor Is miles from port. At that
stage of the race. he passed
under a set of wires strung
low across narrow point In
the Hudson river by some shad
fishermen. He ducked just in
time to save his head from the
neck up, but the lowest wire
brushed his helmet and tickled
the top of his motor so violently
that the boat lurched and ia
CODY had to tighten his grip on
the joystick to keep from capsiz-
ing.
II was certain I had lost part
of the motor at least" he said,
land wanted to look behind to
see if it was loose. Finally de-
cided to look ahead"
1t wasn't long after making
this commendable decision that

Then she buried insulated

that won't be hard!"
She had decided to complete

Buck privaies'
Still al Jewel
Loush Riot Sure
Cure for Blues

If the international situation
has you troubled and your
rheumatism has you down, just
forget your cares and worries
and try a little boogie-woogie.
It's a cure all for the blues.
That's the prescription of The
Andrews Sisters, who have made
boogie-woogie what it is today
just about a national institution.
IN CURRENT COMEDY
Currently at the Jewel The
atre with Abbott and Costello in
Universaps "Buck Privates," the
Andrews, Maxene, Laverne and
Patty, are the girls who first sing
"Rhumboogie," Beat Me Daddy,
Eight to the Bar" Scrub Me,
Mamma. With a Boogie Beat"
and half-dozen others that have
topped the half-million mark.
They say:
Everybody goes for boogie-
woogie. They can't help it. All
you've got to do is hear 1t, and
your feet won't let you keep still.
Once you've got the rhythm,
boogie-woogie does the rest"
There's nothing new about the
kind of music that the Andrews
sisters sing. Nobody seems to
know for certain, but it's sup
posed to have originated about
100 years ago, down in the deep
south.
HEARD AT HOUSE
WARNINGS
There the colored folk used to
have house-warmings, each OF
the guests bringing his contribu-
ton to the party. The musicians
brought their talent, but they
seldom had pianos, so the basic
rhythm was that of the bass or
drums, eight beats to the bar.
And just as symphony has its
Stokowski, boogie-woogie has its
maestros, including such pictur-
esoue gentlemen of color as
"Pinetop" Smith, late of Chica-
20, Crippled" Clarence and
"Jellyroll" Martin.
But it never really hit its
stride and became a worldwide
vogue until the Andrews sisters
sang "Well, Alright" a few
years ago.
