THE 90 20 LAW

In 1854 Congress passed the Cargo Pref
erence Act-more generally known as "the
so so law" 1t provides that at least so per
cent of government-fnanced cargo going ov-
erseas must be shipped in American-fag
ships.
1t is obvious that if half of these cargoes
go in our own ships, the other half will go
in foreign-hag bottoms. This, in the light of
the laws and policies of other maritime ma
tions, is a very liberal provision indeed
Most of those countries practice severe dis
criminatory measures against merchant
fleets flying flags other than their own. Even
so a determined effort has been made by
foreign nations to get the $3.50 law repeal
ed. And this effort has influenced some
groups here at home.
AS an example, a leading agricultural
organization recently stated that the $3.50
law was causing injury to American agri-
culture. That charge was strongly and eff
fectively challenged by four American steam
ship associations, which joined to write a
letter to the Senate Agriculture Committee.
They pointed out that "only the American
merchant marine can assure continued ac-
cess to overseas markets for American pro-
ducts whether of farm or factory" AS evil
dence of this, farmers should remember what
happened when, prior to our entry into
World Wars | and III, foreign ships were
withdrawn from commercial trade at our
ports. The resulting lack of shipping space,
to quote from the letter again, chad devas-
tating effect on our overseas market for all
commercial products"
AS for the question of costs, approx
mately 80 per cent of cargoes are carried on
American-fag liner vessels whose freight
rates are identical with those charged by
their foreign-fiag competitors.
The $3.50 law is both fair and necessary
1t is part of a carefuly-framed program to
keep the American flag on the sea lanes
which is as important to agriculture as to
any other segment of our people,

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY EIoins Townsend Diekerson

Atlantic. My heart dropped to the
pit of my stomach. We joked about
sharks and il you should move to
scare them away or if you should
be perfectly still--it's controver-
sial you know. Your mind is mill
ing over all this conversation while
they talk and with each moment
toward take-off time you become
less loquocious.
All AIS were off the field except
the four in Hayes group and be-
cause of this Hayes was permitted
to get us up to the jet. It's. hard
to ascend into the miraculous AZ
but some how l managed TO get
into Hayes plane-tight suit skirt,
high heels and all. You can never
visualize the maze of equipment
unless you, too, have been In the
interior of the B-47. Even /, who
live daily with talk about it's fan
tastic functions find il hard to be-
lieve science has advanced so far.
It's uncanny what this plane can do
and | don't know l/100th of its
operations.
] wanted Hayes plane TO take
off on time and didn't want his
crew to abort He had TO go, ii
would not be cancelled, so | want
ed him to get off that night and
get there, get his three months over
with and come home. Before mid
night the four planes were already
in position for take off. l couldn't
sit still in the car and got out and
stood behind the last fence next to
the ramp. At one minute after mid
night Fred's plane started down
the long runway and seconds later
| Hayes AZ was airborne. We watch
ed until we could barely see their
| lights in the sky.
Friday night Edward r. Murrow
on Person to Person" interviewed
General Curtis Il. LeMay, Hayes
SAC boss. Mother and ! were in
Springfield. Illinois, that night and
tried to get the program on Mo-
tePs TV set, but couldn't. We have
since heard that he spoke of get
ting wing off to North Africa that
very day and showed the route on
a map which began in Topeka. l
would have really gotten butter
flies il / had seen the program.
Maybe you saw it. The night the
fellows left there was a plane on
the field at Forbes marked with two
stars and we imagined it was some
one watching for LeMay to see that
the wing got safely off. A staff car
drove to the end of the runway to
see them as their wheels left the
ground. 1t was good for the wives
to see that the two star General
was as interested in our husbands
as we were. LeMay keeps his fing-
ers on every one of his men and
that's why the Strategic Air Com
mand is the arm of strength that
il is. You know I'm proud of them
and / want you to be too.
Until next week.

Geyer's Dairy
Introduces 2 Quart
Milk Bottles

The new 2-Quart milk bottle, in
glass, has been introduced at your
favorite grocer by Geyer's Dairy.
Milford, to help cut your familys
food cost. This attractive h-gal-
Ion milk bottle saves refrigerator
space, is more convenient, easy to
grip, pours without spilling, and
enables the housewife to see what
she is buying. You save money be-
cause you actually pay less per
quart than you are now paying for
two single quarts of milk.
Geyer's Dairy has been serving
Milford and vicinity with dairy
products for over quarter of a
century. Geyer's has always en-
deavored to serve their patrons the
fnest quality milk with a butterfat
content ranging from 4.2To to 4.7%
which is the highest quality pro-
duct served in this area. Geyer's
is the only dairy in the City OF
Milford which processes its own
dairy products locally and indepen-
IDENTIFY.
Fred C. Ceyer. a graduate and
professor of Williamson Trade
School, Media, Pa, was a former
manager of receiving milk plant
for Supplee, Wills and Jones in
New Egypt, N. j., and the manager
of the Sligo Farmers Cooperative
Creamery in Sligo, Pa. In 1928 Mr..
Geyer founded Geyer's Dairy at its
present location on S. E. Front and
McColley streets.
His oldest son, John p. Geyer,
graduated from Milford High School
and the University of Delaware.
Having received Bachelor of Sci
ence degree in chemistry, John
worked at the General Electric
Company in Schnectady, N. Y, as
a chemist and technical sales rep
resentative. Recently, at the COM
pletion of four year tour Of duty
with the U. S. Air Force in which
he served both in the United States
and Alaska, John returned to Mil
ford to act as sales manager for
Geyer's Dairy.
The youngest son. Fred l.. Gey-
er. is a graduate OF Milford High
School. Fred graduated with a
Bachelor of Science degree from
the School of Agriculture at Penn
State University at State College,
Pa. At Penn State Fred majored
in the manufacturing OF milk anf
ice cream and in competition won
several blue ribbons for his ice
cream products. Fred received his
practical experience while employ
ed at the Hershey Estates Dairy in
Hershey, Pa, and is now acting
as plant manager for Geyer's

of allying chemistry with agricul-
ture has grown tremendously. In
March of this year, the old Ma
tional Farm Chemurgic Council
was superseded by new and
larger organization called the
Council for Agricultural and Chem
urgic Research. The new organi-
zation will continue to encourage
individual research projects look
ing toward the discovery of new
crops and new characteristics of
old crops. In addition, it will set
up the machinery to coordinate
the various agricultural-chemic
research projects which are being
undertaken Farmers sons should
learn of this work before leaving
the farm for city employment.
Farmers Must Diversity
/ hope that the activities of this
scientific farm research will have
the wholehearted support of science,
industry and government. 1t takes
time to expand any research ia
cilities; it especially takes time to
coordinate research activity in so
large a field as agriculture. This
wider approach to the problem is
not being undertaken any too
soon, for there is now a great
need for American farmers to di-
versify their production and look
more to industrial, rather than
food. consumption. Such diversi-
fication should lead to more stable
economic conditions.
This need for diversification of
farm products is so apparent that
the Council chose New Crops" as
the theme of its March meeting in
Columbus, Ohio. 1t may seem odd
to be concentrating on new crops

BABSON DISCUSSES AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH

Babson Park, Mass. May 26,
1855. Industrial and Chemical Re-
search-not Federal Aids the
farmers best bet. Although most
American farmers appear to be
doing pretty well, l am keenly
aware of the drop in farm income
which has occurred during the
past two years. Despite the best
intentioned government price sup
port program-or perhaps because
of tive still have farm prob
lem in this country which could
easily erupt into serious social
cancer.
/ remember well what happened
to the farmer in the thirties and
what happened to the rest of the
economy as a result of the decline
i'm the farmers economic position.
In those days, the farm problem
was seemingly a more arresting
public issue than it is today. At
least, it evoked more discussion in
business and political circles.
How The Chemurgic Movement
Began
In an effort to improve the de-
mand of that era, the National
Farm Chemurgic Council was or
ganized at an historic conference
held in 1885 at Dearborn, Michigan,
under the auspices of Henry Ford
and Francis P Garvan, President
of the Chemical Foundation. An
other leader in the movement was
Wheeler Mcmillan of. the Farm
Journal. The idea was to encour-
age research which would lead to
an expansion of markets for Amer
ican farm products to be used as
industrial raw materials. From the
beginning, / supported the aims OF
this council.
Since then, the whole movement
Milford chronicle., 1955-05-27

search has paid off handsomely be-
fore, as in the case of soybeans.
There is every reason to believe it
will again pay off. New crops now
being studied include timber bam-
boo, a good source of paper pulp
which has been grown success
fully in the Southeast; dioscorea,
plant source of cortisone-like
drugs; new varieties of castor
beans; canaigre, a wild root plant
of high vegetable tannin; and acer-
ola from Porto Rico or phylanthus
enblica from the Hawaiian Islands,
both of which have miraculous
vitamin contents.
Marine, Research Is Also Needed
In addition to their work in the
agricultural field, the Council could
encourage further studies of the
mineral and other wealth Graded
in the two great oceans. These
flow up to the very doorstep of
our land along more than 4,S00
miles of coastline. These oceans
are a storehouse OF organic and
inorganic matter of great actual
and potential Importance to indus
try. AS our soil is getting poorer
with every hard rain, our oceans,
into which the rivers empty, are
getting richer.
For example, large number of
chemical elements are found in
crab meal and fish meal Fish
products contain aluminium, barium,
calcium, chromium, copper, flou-
rine, lead, lithium, magnesium,
manganese, nickel, phosphorus, po-
tassium, silicon, silver, sodium,
strontium and zinc. Truly the re-
sources of the sea provide plenty
of opportunity for the new College
of Fisheries of Gloucester, Massa-
chusetts.

Dear Friends:-
1t wasn't much fun seeing Hayes
off to Africa for his three months
TIDY. Days before he left we &C.
gan marking clothes for his strip,
putting things aside for him to be
sure to take along and out at the
field they were getting equipment
ready to board the B-47.
Since Hayes is a staff officer and
doesn't have a crew of his own he
"sweated out" riding a cargo plane
to its destination across the At
lantic. He was quite pleased to tell
me days prior to his departure that
he would go along as instructor for
one of the navigators.
Civilians on the flight line
(where the planes are kept are
just unheard of except during
Armed Forces Day. Any SAC base
is extremely security conscious and
therefore it was doubtful that we
would get to see our husbands OFF.
There are three different fences at
Forbes before you get near the jet
bomber and with each one en-
trance becomes more difficult. Fred
Shirley, our neighbor in Topeka, is
Lieutenant Colonel and COM
manding officer of Hayes squad
ran. He felt that no dependent
would want to sabotage their rel
atives' airplane and he got permis-
sion for all the boys families to
witness their take off. The APPS
(Air Police) were in attendance all
the time of course, anyway, so Sc
curity was not violated.
