My layer cakes are always fiat as

I am so careful? I always sift the
cake -four before measuring, care

have an electric beater. so all is
done by hand), preheat oven, don't
peep" until about time cake is done
and invariably the cakes are fiat at
the time they are removed from
the oven. You see, they don't fall
later, but are already shrunken.
The unusual feature is they are
tasty and nicely Drowned.
Now, what have I been doing
wrong, or what shall do to make
the cakes puffy and raised up as
they should be? This condition
occurred with both chocolate and
orange layer cakes. Won't you ex-

POEM WANTED?

From Miss M. H.. Wnshngton.)
l hope you fine Clearing House
readers can satisfy my search for
the title and author of poem,
Of which the only clue is a few
remembered lines. They are:
NY shoulders ache beneath my pack
Lie easier Cross upon His back.
Ny trigger fingers cold and numb.
Men shout at me who may not speak
The poem draws an analogy be-
tween Christ on the cross and a
soldier at the front. I believe it
may be a poetic product Of a
World War I shoulder pack. 1t was
used at one time in rather formal
schoolroom as memory work in
poetry.

Mulching between the rows is be-
ing practiced more and more by
successful gardeners. Grass clip
pings make a good mulching ma
terial. The first time they r APP
piled they should be incorporated

Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-07-15

and the crop has been making good
progress. Although much depends On
the growing season this summer,
present indications point to larger
feed grain supplies this year than
last.
SURPLUS POTATO POLICY
USDA may change its policy
for handling surplus potatoes
being purchased under the price
support program.
Up to now, a large part of the po-
tatoes purchased have gone into the
production of industrial alcohol. If
the new policy is adopted, the great
er portion will be converted into
potato flour for shipment to occupied
Germany.
At the end of June, the Commod-
ity Credit Corp. had bought more
than 4,500, 900 bushels of potatoes,
all of the early type grown from
Florida to Long Island.
Of this amount, 1870, 000, 900 bushels
went to school lunch programs and
charitable institutions; 2,843,000 into
industrial alcohol; $4,000 bushels
into flour, and $4,000 bushels into
what USDA describes as "air strip
ping"
This is the novel method of dump
ing potatoes onto the concrete strips
of airports in sunny areas. In this
manner the potatoes are
for livestock feed. The CCC expects
to buy between 10000, 900 and U.s.
000, 900 bushels of early potatoes
through mid-September.
FARMERS SHARE DROPS
The farmers share in the re-
tail food dollar has dropped TO
so cents, the smallest since July.
l943.
The decline began with the sharp
price breaks in February and con-
tinued during April and May, when
retail food prices increased, but
prices paid to farmers were re1a-
lively steady.
The farmers share in the retail
food dollar was So cents in February
and March and was 81 cents in
April.
For every month since July, 1943,
until May, 1948, the farmers share
of the consumers food dollar has
averaged from 81 to SIS cents. The
share rose above the 50-cent level
in December, 1912, for the first time
since 1919.
Since then it has fallen below so
cents only once-to 40 cents in May,
1943. The prewar level of the farm
er's share averaged 40 cents during
the 1858 period, and reached a
depression low of 20 cents during
June, 1882.
INTERIM BOARD NAMED
A five-man interim board of
directors has been named by
Secretary of Agriculture Charles
F. Brannan to handle the affairs
of the Commodity Credit Corp.
until Oct. l. when the corpora

EASY TO BUILD HorBEDs AND COLD FRI

Concrete hotbeds and cold frames are easy to
build and help produce early transplants and
vegetables. The pit for a hotbed should be l #.
to 3 #. deep, with manure and soil placed as
shown. No manure is used in cold frames and
pit need not be as deep. Soil for cold frames
should be sandy SO that it will warm up quickly.
A southern exposure is desirable and drainage
should be good.

Abolition of "Anti-P etrillo"
Act Is Urged by Green

CINCINNATI.-In a move hailed by
James c. Petrillo and the other dele
gates of the American Federation OF
Musicians to the AFL convention here,
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor called for
abolition of the Lea "anti-Petrillo" ACT
and listed its repeal on the legislative
agenda of the AFL.
Green labeled the Lea act "as OBJ
n~oxious in the field of radio as Taft
Hartley is in industry generally" His
attack was an extension of his morn
ing presidential address and was deliv-
cred at the opening of the first after
noon session on Monday of the con
vention.

CINCINNATI. The Exeoutive
Council reported a new record pay
ment OF S~50,995,9So in various bene-
hts 10 members OF the standard ma
,.onal, international and local unions
affiliated with the AFL.
This total, which covers the year 1917,
would have been larger had all union
submitted complete data ior incorpor-
alton in the final report.
Benefits paid included those ior
death, sickness, unemployment, old
age, disability and for other miscel-
laneous purposes according to the spe-
ciiic provisions OF the benefit plans
adopted BY the unions.
Miscellaneous benefits, death bene-
Its and old-age payments ranked IN
that order in terms OF the total dollar
value paid out to union members. Pay
.nents made because OF the unemploy-
ment OF union members represented the
smallest share OF the total disburse-
inents.
According TO the report 3 unions
benefit payments accounted for more
than half of the record total disbursed
under the plans. Topping the list was
the International Ladies garment Work
ers union with payments OF $l5,06l, 1856,
nearly all of which was classified as
miscellaneous benefits. The Interna-
tional Typographical union reported a
total of $ll,4S3,956 disburscd to its
members, split almost equally between
old-age and miscellaneous benefits. In
third place was the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen. This union dis
bursed over $8,0OO,OOO. with 3 CLASH
iications: death, sick and miscella-
neous benefits, accounting for over
100000 each.
Twenty-Five OF the reporting unions
advised the AFL that they had paid
no international benefits during the
year.

ORGANIZING CAMPAIGNS
REVIEWED BY COUNCIL.

CINCINNATI The Executive
Council, in its report to the AFL con-
v%ention, declared that organizing pos
sibilities Of the future are exceedingly
bright especially in Canada, Alaska
and Hawaii.
The council said that industrial work
ers, on the whole, are showing an in
creasing desire to become affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor.
Reporting on organizing success in
the field Of federal labor union juris-
dlction. the councils report asserted
that, while average membership de-
clined slightly. 2l2 new federal labor
unions had been established as Of July
q, l948.
Much OF the report was devoted to an
explanation of the ill-effects of the
Iaft-Hartley law upon organizing ac-
t~ivities. The council declared: 1.-THE
problems Of the organizing staff be-
came greatly involved during the past
year. The full impact of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act was felt upon the expiration
OF contracts entered into before the act
became law. AS a result, the staff was
compelled to devote a great deal Of time
to the entirely unnecessary problem Of
union shop elections which were nearly
approximately 90 percent favorable.
Organizers not only handled federal
labor union elections, but aided thou
sands OF international union locals in
conducting elections.
The Taft-Hartley Act placed an
other burden on both federal and in
ternational locals, which, for the most
part, were handled by our organizers.
All local unions were required to fill
out forms on financial structures with
the registration office of the Depart
rnent Of Labor, and with the National
Labor Relations Board on the nom
Communist affidavit in order to COM
ply with the act.
Another burdensome feature of the
act, which will cause more trouble in the
future, will require the unions to enter
into representation elections at any
time an employer expresses a doubt and
asks for an election"
Reporting on the special Southern
Organizing Campaign, the council said
that in spite of the difficulties placed
in the path by the Taft-H Hartley law and
anti-labor legisltion at the state level.
more than 800 local unions were organ
ized in the past year. The campaign,
which has been decentralized, is being
carried on by the AFL's affiliated
unions, the report said.
