northwest area.
Alongside of the large modern feeo
plant is being erected a seed cleaning
and processing plant, which is to have
the latest available machinery fol-
cleaning and conditioning alfalfa seed
red and alsike clover, sweet clover
timothy, bronze grass and other seeds
Just as an illustration of what may
be expected of an up-to-date seed
Northwest Cooperative Mills
leased a small seed plant at Thief
River Falls, Minnesota in 1915, and
from that plant merchandized 7,750,000
pounds of seed. Seed orders for the
1946-1947 season already booked are
in excess of three million pounds. We
grow good seeds in this northwest
country. We will be marketing them
some day, far from where they are
grown, thus rendering a service to
both growers and users.
Northwest Cooperative Mills began
the construction of fertilizer plant
number one in 1915, at Green Bay
Wisconsin, and expects to have it in
operation this year. Construction work
on plant number two at Winona, Min
nesota has started, but will be delayed
by the material shortages, until prob
ably some time in 1947
AS soon as Northwest Cooperative
Mills was ready for operation, the
Union Central Exchange
turned over to the new coop its splen-
did soy bean plant at Menomonie, WIS
consin The output of the Menomonle
plant is now shared by the Midland,
Central Exchange and G. G. w. Of
course, the plant at Menomonie no
where near supplies the distribution
needs of the three WHOLESALERS, (Cen-
trail Exchange, Midland and G. G. W)
so Northwest Cooperative Mills IS
seeking additional sources of supply.
Agreement has been reached with
coop soybean processing plant at
Manly, Iowa, whereby one third OF the
of that plant will be allocated
to Northwest Cooperative Mills. In
addition to the plant at Manly, other
sources of supply from coop plants IN
Iowa are under consideration.

The purpose of Federal Tranporta-

ton Advisory Counsel, and an Office
of Public Transportation Counsel as
explained by the report, is to develop,
inform and present plans and recon-
mendations to effectuate national
transportation policy for an adequate
economical co-ordinated transportation
system. In this connection it is stated
THAT SeueIdl lnFtSIlSdllOluo anu ~
visions of the national freight struc-
ture, should be promptly undertaken
and expeditiously completed" To this
end, the report recommends that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
shall be reorganized. Carrier taxes
should be revised, the report says,
and an interstate system of highways
should be designed and developed over
which interstate commerce may move
unhampered by conflicting and dis
criminatory state restrictions.
The Interstate Commerce Act, it is
further recommended, should be
amended in such way as to abolish
economic restrictions upon motor and
water transportation.

But actions speak louder than

they have leveled their fire at price

A gallant old dowager of the fleet,
the 33-year-old U. s. S, Arkansas,
may make dramatic exit lii service
Of her country.
For the vetean ,battlewagon of
two world wars the final curtain
may come with an atom bomb
across her bow.
The possibility that the fighting
"Arky," reprieved from the scrap
heap by World War II. might be
offered in sacrifice to science is
being studied by the Navy.
Undamaged in Two Wars.
The Navy announced that Secre-
tary Forrestal has been asked to
consider the fleets oldest battleship
for this new and last role.
Destruction by her country's
mightiest weapon would climax a
career which earned for the doughty
oldtimer such titles as Devil
Ship" from German gunners on
the French coast, and Lucky
Arky." for her undamaged record
through two wars.
The Arky was first ordered to de-
commission in 194l. She was await
ing final orders when December 7
dawned.
New Call to Duty.
Oyerhauled after yeoman service
IN the inyasions of Normandy and
Southern France, she steamed for
the Pacific to turn her guns on Two
Jima and Okinawa.
When the war ended, the Arky
was invited to be a Navy Day honor
guest at Seattle, Wash, then or
dered to make last voyage through
the Panama Canal to Boston fol-
decommissioning.
| Then came a new call to duty
Thousands of Pacific fighting men
were waiting rides home from Pear
Harbor. The Navy turned the
Arky's course westward again and
gave her a peacetime mission.
She is edging toward the 100000
mile mark in mileage travelled since
her retirement orders first came
four years ago.
