Dairy Cows Are
Good Farm Risk

Farmers should not go out of
the dairy cow business" was the
advice of Carl F. Christian, Dairy
Marketing Specialist, of Ohio
State University.
Speaking before a group of Of
tawa County dairymen Monday
Mr.. Christian maintained that
dairy cows are a stable, depend
able income. He cited depression
figures showing that when a dairy
man got 30c in the depression
grain farmers got only zoe.
Mr.. Christian predicted that
condensary milk would be $2.70
per cwt. by June, but that the bot
tom is not about to drop out of
the bucket.
The next dairy meeting in the
Extension office on February 7
will feature Earl Jones, agrono-

 TESTIFIES AT
 CAB HEARINGS

SEATTLE. Aug 6.-tR-- The in- jured pilot of GAG airliner that claimed seven lives in a crash July i9 testified yesterday just before the close of a CAB hearing that engine trouble did not show up until after the takeoff.

 Earlier, three witnesses told the CAB investigators an engine was Lackfiring before the plane began peeding oown the runway.
 The presiding officer at the hear ing, Russell A. Potter said CAR headquarters in Washington, DC, would issue a preliminary. report on the crash within a few days.

WRANCELL pR0TE5T5 CLOSURE
Message Sent 10 Delegate Bartlett on Anan Creek Salmon Run

2 WRANGELL-tSp -tSpecial-Aug. G. More than 40 businessmen and members of the Wrangell fishing fleet met with the local Chamber ot Commerce here last night, reaching a decision to wire Delegate E. l.. Bartlett protesting the Fish and Wildlife policy of not opening the Anan creek area after admitting adequate escapement."
 i C. Howard Baltzo, Assistant Di- rector of Alaska Fisheries, an- nounced Friday that there is "ade- quate escapement at Anan and three other local areas but that the conservation policy put into effect this year is to begin general rebuilding of the Southeastern pink salmon run by securing substantial escapements in majority of the streams instead of piecemeal utili- zation of each run as it occurs. This has proven so ineffective in the past"
 Baltzo wired this statement to the Wrangell Chamber of Com merce after the Thursday meeting in Juneau between FWS represen- tatives and Alaska salmon in- dustry representative.

GOVT. TO GAIN BY EASY CREDIT
 RESERVE MOVE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-tR-The government, which this week be- gan borrowing to meet it's expenses. may be the chief gainer from the newest "easy credit" move by the Federal Reserve Board.
 The Board yesterday ordered a cut in reserve requirements-the proportion of deposits that banks may not lend-in order to make an extra $500 100000 available for loan or investment this month.
 It was the third time this year the Board has thus increased the supply of loan funds available, be- sides taking such other business tracing steps as removal of con- sumer credit restrictions, and mak- ing it easier to buy stocks on credit.
 The government is just getting started at borrowing to make up the gap between it's income and outgo- a gap that is expected to run to $3.000,0o0,0 900 or more in the current fiscal year and already has put the government over $l,- 5c0, 100000 in the red.
