MADRID, July Is (NANA).-
Although American money and

Il European Nations
Weigh U. 5. Aid Plan
To Convert Currency
BY The Associated Press

LONDON. July 15.-Twelve
European nations meet today to
plan with American help the
biggest, riskiest financial move
since the war-convertibility Of
their currencies.
Their aim Is to take q great
step toward freer world trade by
removing some Of the remaining
wartime wraps from their cur
rencies and commerce.
Convertibility is a difficult
word with an easy meaning. A
man who earns convertible cur
rency can change 1t into any
money he likes and spend it
where he likes. That would do
more than please the man him
self. The international effects,
If things go well, could be to
raise world living standards by
squirting world trade, as world
trade rises, national and indi-
vidual prosperity increase.
Brit0n To Preside.
Britain's Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer r. A. Butler will pre-
side over the two-day meeting
which was arranged by the Or
ganization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation (OEEC). A
team of American observers
headed by Harold Stassen.
United States Director of the
Foreign Operations Administra-
ton, (FOA) will attend. Finance
Ministers from West Germany.
France, Italy, Switzerland,
Greece, Belgium, Holland, Lux
embourg, Sweden. Norway and
Denmark also will participate.
They will. according to official
advice, consider proposals for:
/. Setting up billions Of dollars
worth of credit facilities on
European basis in the form of
a special fund, on a worldwide
basis through the international
Monetary Funds special re-
serves, and on a two-sided ba-
sis through the American Fed
eral Reserve System. The Fed
eral Reserve probably will be
asked to arrange standby loans
If an emergency should threaten
the currency of individual coun-
tries.
2. Formulating q new world
trade code, with body to apply
1t, to insure that goods and
money flow ever more freely and
widely after convertibility.
Started Two Years Ago.
Britain is leading the free ma
tons of Europe in the long, slow
haul toward convertibility that
started two years ago.
British officials insist the Lon
don conference will not try to
produce any sort Of timetable
for the achievement of converti-
bility.
They say the ministers will
seek rather to agree on a plan of
cooperative. action in order,
first, to produce some of the con-
ditions which will make the step
easier and less risky. and Sec
ond, to prepare for the strains
and stresses that will come in
its wake.
With one exception the finance
ministers Of West Europe have
stuck to that version of their
common task. The exception is
West Germany's economics min
lister, DR.. Ludwig Erhard, who
has said he expects free con-
vertibility to be achieved in the
next few months or by the spring
Of 1855 at the latest.

CONSUMER DEMAND for farm

CONSUMER DEMAND for farm
products probably is declining slow
ly from the peak reached in 1858.
Non-farm incomes have turned down
slightly. Employment dropped about
$4,000 in November and average
working hours are trifle shorter.
Substantially larger debts for hous-
ing and installment purchases also
make consumers feel less flush than
a year ago.
Although they took per cent
greater tonnage to market, farmers
received per cent less cash from
sales of their produce in the first IL
months of 1853 than in the same
period of 1852. Farm income may
stabilize near present levels, but is
not likely to recover much of its
two-year decline.
CATTLE-Prices for upper grades
probably will zigzag slightly down.
ward in the next few months. In
termediate grades are likely to have
a sidewise trend. Lower grades will
work moderately higher. The run of
1ong-feds continues near the peak.
1t may taper off rather sharply at
any time and sustain prices for
prime cattle for a while. Short-feds
are coming more freely, however.
+ Many finishers who bought feed
ers around the low point in late sum-
mer are selling early to clinch a
profit. Total numbers of cattle fed
this season probably will be 10 to
II per cent less than last season.
The increase in market supplies
in the next five months over recent
volume and decline in price may
be less than usual. In fact, the us.
Department of Agriculture says that
ga decline in prices, for fat cattle is
not very likely this winter"

atively high, but will fluctuate

Rules for Milking

The following five rules have
been formulated as guides for
proper milking.
When cows are milked in this
way, time is saved and there will
be increased milk production, re-
sulting in larger milk check.
/. Avoid excitement of cows
either before or during milking.
Excitement blocks the effect of
the let-down hormone. To get
maximum effect from the let
down hormone the COW must be at
ease and relaxed.
2. Bring the milking machine
into the milking parlor fully as
sembled. This is to avoid the Sc
erection of the let-down hormone,
stimulated by the noise of assem-
bling the mixer, before the milk
ers can be attached.
3. Stimulate milk let down
about one minute before milking
is to begin. The most effective
stimulus is vigorous massage of
the teats and lower parts of the
udder with cloth or paper towel
taken out of water as hot as the
hand can stand (about 125 de-
grees F..
a. Begin stripping as soon as the
feat cups crawl upward. This is
done by pulling down on the teat
cups and successfully massaging
each quarter with the other hand.
S. Remove the milking machine
as soon as milk flow stops. Fail
ure to do this is responsible for
much injury to the inside of the
teats, and may result in mastitis.
