most of the members surprising, espe-
cially as they pertain to American
agriculture. For instance, the con-
dictionary industry annually con-
sumes 699, ,632 900 pounds of whole
milk, or the yearly production of
157,221 cows; 19,703, 900 dozen eggs,
which is the annual production of
1884 900 hens is also used. The in
dustry consumes All, ,488, 900 pounds
of beet sugar, which is III per cent
of the entire beet sugar crop and in
the way of corn products, 7O2 1892 900
pounds 60 into candy making. These
and other agricultural products had
a value of $187 100000 last year and
required considerably more than a
million acres of American farm land
to produce.
Sometime ago w. S. Moscrip, the
well-known Lake Elmo dairyman, and
director of the Twin City Milk Pro-
ducers Association, was in my office
and as I recall he told me that one
candy manufacturer in Chicago an
nually buys more Minnesota milk
than is consumed in the cities of Min
neapolis and st. Paul. It sounded
almost incredible but facts are facts.
This is merely another example of
how the use of agricultural products
is expanding.
1t is my information that when
tho ic ax,oy ov,I fha Ia
industry goes back to normal pro-
duction, all automobile bodies, in
cluding tenders will be manufactured
from plastics made from soybeans
and other products of the farm. A
new and growing industry that is
paying the American farmer a con-
siderable sum of money is the manu-
facture of cigarette paper from flax
seed straw and according to testi-
mony before the committee, most of
this straw comes from Minnesota.
Seven years ago the flax straw on
the farm had no value. Now the
manufacturer is glad to buy it in the
stack for $1.50 ton, the buyer pay
ing for the bailing and hauling. I
do not know how many ton of flax
straw is raised to the acre but I
should say two and possibly three.
Last year the industry bought the
flax seed straw from 100000 acres,
two-thirds of it coming from Mime
sofa and one-third from California.
Would Let Service Men Vote.
Representative Martin of Massa-

The measure directs the Secretaries of

ter Churchill Sunday warned
Hitler that Britain would carry
poison gas warfare 'far and wide
over Germany if he dares use it
against Russia, and forecast for
sure a nightly British-American

Grim in his predictions of "mis-
cry and slaughter" for Germany,
the prime minister nevertheless
was confident and optimistic and
brought what he said was ga mes
sage of good cheer" for Britain
and her allies.
Declaring that the lawful bal
ances" had finally turned in the
united nations favor, he predict
ed that British and American
seapower will grip and hold the
Japanese" and their overwhelm-
ing air power eventually will
bring her low.
