The dance to be given on March 6
for the benefit of Multiple Sclerosis has
possibly the youngest committee ever
gathered for a, like occasion. This is
symbolic in that the disease is most
prevalent in the age group of 20 to 40.
Almost every member of the group has
had member of his family afflicted. The
group planning the event may lack ex-
perience or baby sitters but that has
obviously been made up by energy and
ingenuity. Dancing for purpose as we'll
as tune will complete festive evening.

World Soybean
Market Discussed
At Convention

Hudson, Iowa-Will world mar

produced in 1853?
The subject will be discussed at
the American Soybean Association
convention in st. Louis, Mo-, Aug.
21 by Paul f. Quintus of the us.
Department of Agriculture's For
eign Agricultural Service.
Since the government has tak-
en- possession of 5 million bushels
of soybeans this summer the
first in the history of the crop
and with surpluses building up in
other farm crops, the question be-
comes of vital interest to people
in the soybean industry" said
Geo. NJ. Strayer, secretary-treas-
urer of the American Soybean As
sociation in announcing Quintus'
appearance on the program.
THE opportunity for a substan-
tial export market for soybeans in

qualified to discuss this subject.
He recently returned to this
country from a thorough survey
of European countries as markets

Miami Valley Milk
Prices Advance

The producer price of Grade A
fluid milk, declining for several
months, has now taken an upturn,
according to Leslie G, Mapp, gen.
eral manager of the Miami Valley
Milk Producers Association.
In the Dayton-Springfield mar
ket area the producer gross blend
price for Grade A milk marketed
in July was $3.57 per hundred
weight, an increase of Is cents
over the price dairy farmers re-
ceived the previous month. The
price is computed on a 3.5 per
cent butterfat basis.
Principal factor in the increase
for July milk was the seasonal
decrease in production, normal
for this period of the war. How
ever, the production of milk in
July this year was over II per
cent greater than for the same
month in 1852, following the local
market trend of greatly increased
production to date in 1853. The
seasonal decrease in total produc-
ton was nearly seven per cent
from June, 1853, and resulted in
a large volume of the total re-
ceipts being utilized in Class l, or

in bottled sales, thus increasing
the blend price.
Mr.. Mapp reported that the
class prices for July were almost
the same as in the preceding
month, and that the better utiliza-
ton Of the total supply IN the
Springfield market was
responsible for the increase in
price for the producers.
B. L. Bratton, acting market
administrator of federal milk
order No. II, announced that the
total receipts of milk in the COM
bined market area for July were
26, 6,135, ,332 pounds, with a total
value of 1895. .265. This milk was
produced on 1850 dairy farms in
the 30-county marketing territory
which supplies Dayton and Spring
field.
Mr.. Bratton said that nearly
SO per cent of the total volume
of milk marketed was utilized in
Class /, and H., or for bottling
purposes. For this milk, which
tested S.S per cent fat, the hand
lers paid an equivalent of 80
cents per gallon. From their re-
tail ana wholesale prices, the
handlers must pay their process
ing and distribution costs incur
red in getting their products to
the consumers. ...
The remaining 81 per cent of
the total volume was used for
manufacturing purposes by the
local handlers and the lower
price paid for this milk pulled
down the producer blend price.
Milk sales in the area were
around 10 PEI cent higher than a
year ago, but for the same period
the market receipts of milk in
creased IL per cent. ..

16 Years In Armv
Hasn't Seen US.

VAIHINGEN, Germany - Mas
ter Sergeant Victor Aybar has
been in the Army for Is years
yet never has set foot on United
States soil.
Though a citizen by virtue of
his birth in the territory of Puerto
Rico, the 39-year-old medical SER
geant's assignments since his en-
listment at the Post of San Juan
October 4, 1886, never have taken
him to the continental United
States.
Aybar, now serving in the Med
ical Section, Headquarters Seven
tn Army, took IL weeks basic
training in San Juan. He then en-
tered the medical branch of the
service, in which he has remained
ever since. His next assignment
was in Henry Barracks, another
post in Puerto Rico, followed by
duty with the Ft. Buchanan Cen
eral Depot in that country.
His first overseas assignment
came last September, when he
was sent to Europe.
Plans for the future are indef-
mite, Aybar said, although he
does hope eventually to settle
down in Puerto Rico.
There's one plan for the future
that is definite, however.
When / return, this time |
hope to visit the United States as
we'll" he said.
