riculture reports that the prices
farmers pay, including interest,
taxes and wage rates, have been
steady this year. The mid-May
average was one per cent above
May. 1858. Farmers cash re-
ceipts the first five months of
this year were about four per-
cent lower than in the same
months of 1858, mostly because
of price declines.
Researchers at the University
of Florida report they have
tested a chemical which, when
fed to cows, causes them to pro-
duce milk with better-keeping
qualities. In preliminary tests
cows fed menadione produced
milk which stayed fresh for up
to "a hours at temperature of
$685. F. At So milk from treat
ed cows stayed fresh for 20 days
-four times as long as milk
from untreated cows.
The hay and pasture condition
is poor in many of the important
hay-producing States, reports the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Hay crops received severe set
backs from cold weather and in

year average of 103 million tons.
Mastitis affects nearly one,
fourth of all dairy cattle in this
country, according to figures of
the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. The dollars and cents
cost of this disease makes con.
troll doubly important.
Weaving weight of calves may
be increased some 20 percent by
limiting the range of bulls to
about IS days year. This plan
usually produces a more uniform
calf crop, less calving troubles
from same heifers and makes
disease control and management
easier.

D. T.. Heads 10 Hear
Agencies Monday on
Housing Work Order

The Commissioners, on Mon
day, will listen to the views of
affected District department
heads on the reorganization or
der proposed to consolidate all
housing work.
The meeting, called for 10 am.
in the District Building, was sug-
gested by General Administration
Director Schuyler Lowe, whose
cIfice drafted the reorganization
order at the behest of the Com
missioners.
The order spells out in detail
exactly what is expected of the
Department of Licenses and In
spections and its new housing
division. Here's how it would
work:
With the Health Department,
it would propose standards and
regulations relating to the city's
forthcoming housing code.
It would carry out the city's
program for improving housing
through the housing regulations
and would conduct all the first
inspections under the housing
regulations except those of the
Fire Department.
First Inspections.
If the first inspection showed
the place complied with the reg
ulationS, notice would be sent
to the license and permit division
which would then tell the owner.
If deficiencies were found, it
would send to the inspection di-
vision a notice specifying just
what was wrong and what repair
was required. The inspection di-
vision could-if it thought nee
esSary-send its experts to study
the situation and then send a
deficiency notice to the license
and permit division for trans
initial to the owner.
If cases of extreme inSanita-
ton were found by the housing
division inspectors, the facts
would be referred Immediately by
the housing division to the Board
for Condemnation of Insanitary
Buildings.
The housing division would be
responsible for seeing that houses
were structurally safe and free of
rats and vermin. If in the course
OF inspections or complaints re-
ceived, housing division inspec-
tors found evidence of insect or
rat infeStation, the division would
request the Health Department
to undertake or supervise fumi-
cation or determination.
War Against Rats.
The housing division also
would supervise ways and meth
DDS to assure adherence to proper
standards of hygiene for human
habitation and related matters in
residential premises; heating,
lighting, ventilation, aerial pol
luton, noises and public health
nuisances related to housing and
dwelling premises; crowding and
sanitation of living quarters; and
health hazards associated with
living units"
All complaints regarding hous-
ing and the necessary action
prompted by these complaints
would be received and acted on
by the housing division.

Sliding Rates Based
On Wholesale Gas
Favored atHearinu

No apparent obstacles lie
ahead for the Washington Gas
Light Co. proposal to raise or
lower District retail gas rates
whenever its wholesale prices
change.
In public hearing yesterday be-
fore the District Public Utilities
Commission, not a sound of
dissent arose. For that matter,
the commissions executive &C
countant and auditor, J. w.
Falk, fatty asserted he is "con-
WINGED the plan is desirable and
essential to the effective regula-
ton of gas rates." in the inter-
estS Of both public and company.
The statement echoed the
views expressed earlier in the
session by Otis H. Ritenour, COM
pany vice president in charge of
financial affairs. He said:
"Our plan offers an effective,
economical and fair method for
dealing with one of our most
important elements of cost over
which neither the company nor
the three regulatory commissions
District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia) having jurisdiction over
our retail rates have any con-
troll"
Avoids Costs and Delay.
The company official and the
commission accountant agreed
fully that the automatic retail
rate adjustment authority would
avoid long and costly proceed
ingS before the regulatory agen-
cies and would be in the inter-
estS of all.
The witnesses pointed out the
wholesale cost of gas has changed
five times in the last three years,
and when the company has
wanted retail rate adjustments
to Offset the wholesale increases
it has had to resort to formal
proceedings before the utilities
commission.
Similar procedures are required
before the public service bodies
Of the two adjoining States,
which Washington Gas Light
also serves in the Metropolitan
Area. The company seeks the
same rate adjustment powers
there, too.
Consolidated with this move
before the local commission is
a petition to distribute $474,149
in refunds turned back to the
company by its wholesaler, At
lantic Seaboard Corp. The re-
fund covers the period of gas
charges between May, 1858, and
last March. and results from a
Federal Power Commission order
disallowing a substantial part of
a wholesale rate increase levied
by Seaboard upon Washington
Gas Light.
Future Credit Proposed.
The local company proposes
to distribute the bonus" in the
form Of credits applied to retail
customers future bills. The
average monthly bill rebate
would amount to 8 cents for Gus
toners using gas for other than
heating purposes, and A cents
for those using gas for heat.
If the commission approves
the automatic adjustment pro-
viso, the retail gas rates soon
would rise above present levels,
since a new wholesale rate in
crease is due to take effect in
November. This would raise the
average monthly bill for nom
heating service by IA cents and
the gas-heat customers bills by
81 cents, according to company
officials.
Commission officials, looking
with approval on the refund
proposal, said the company's
methods Of computation appear
