CORRECT THE Mill SITUATION

OOANICA III hIALNO Il All
H SITUATION surrounding milk is becoming more
and more serious, and something should be done quickly.
Milk, one of the most perishable and delicate of all food, and
one which, by its nature, harbors more germs than any other
unless properly handled, is certainly not being handled the
way it should. Individual vendors are most careless. Driving
around in their carts, they show little concern as they stop
to sell a bottle or two here and there. They dip with msani-
tary Clippers, and on the whole give little thought or atten-
ton to health matters.
THIS IS A matter which needs the fullest cooperation
OF the producers, the delivery men, and the public. No one
undereStimates the problems and difficulties of raising good
milk Tor sometimes called mich) COWS, cleaning and main
tanning adequate pasturage, and supply good, clean water.
Then comes the milking and sale. All of this means that the
darymen should get together, study the problem, and use the
benefits of Joint action to make the most of milk production.
There is nothing impossible about this. In fact, that is the
way it is done everywhere, and Denmark, Sweden and Nor
way have been known for their successful cooperatives, so
much SO that Americans interested in cooperatives have Jour
neyed to Denmark to study the system.
TT WOULD BE better if all the milk could be brought
to one central spot, and there pastemized, as done with one
big dairy in ST. Thomas, and distributed from that place. We
believe that if serious thought be given, it will be seen that
there is more merit in the idea than meets the eye, although
there are those who would object even without giving a
second thought.
MILK IS N OF the best foods, necessary for bones
and teeth, and an essential part of the diet of children, all of
which means that large quantities of it must be used by all
and widely distributed. Care, therefore, should be taken to
see that this important food is produced and distributed in the
most sanitary methods, and in a manner which would meet
the highest standards. There is a local law, but no one can
deny that difficulty is being encountered in meeting these
standards, and that all too frequently efforts are made to get
around them. This is a matter which concerns producers and
public alike, and should be given the fullest and most serious
attention, and soon.

kRUpp TO
PRISON, IS
DECISION

BERLIN, April 8-R- General
Lucius D. Clay has confirmed the
l2-year prison sentence imposed on
Alfred Krupp, tive munitions mag
nate of Nazi days.
The American military governor
changed the wording, however, OF
the judgment of the us. War
Crimes court which convicted
Krupp at Nuremberg. The court had
ordered confiscation of all Krupp's
Ruhr property in the name of the
now virtually defunct Allied Con-
troll council, which included the
Russians. Clay changed this to pro-
vide confiscation by the Allied
Commander in the zone concerned.
This meant the British would
hold most of the billion dollar
enterprise which made guns for
the Germans. Krupp had only a
few small ventures in what is now
the Russian zone of Germany.

NO LOSERS
IN TRUMAN
FARM PLAN!

WASHINGTON, April 7. III
"A shave your cake -and- eat-it-too''
farm program was offered by the
Truman administration.
1t would give consumers break
by letting food prices drop, but
would guarantee to farmers the
same profits they could make il
food prices were up.
The program, outlined by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brannan before
a joint meeting OF the House and
Senate Agriculture committees,
would eliminate many of the pres
ent economic devices employed by
the government
The present program puts a floor
under many major food items. 1t
buys and holds off the market
enough surplus foods to keep pri-
ces at certain levels.
The new program would let pri-
ces drop if surplus occurred, but
the farmer would get paid by the
government for the loss incurred
by the decline.
Example: Eggs are IS cents a
dozen. Prices fall to Is cents.
The consumer could buy them for
Is cents, but the government would
paw the farmer an extra 10 cents
to compensate for his loss.
The new program would cover
meat animals, milk, eggs, poultry,
fruit vegetables, and butterfat,
items that are responsible for about
three-fourth of farm income.
