A preliminary outline of what the
new corn-bog adjustment contracts
are likely to contain has been re-
ceived from Washington by the O.S.
C. extension service. Latest news
tells of the result of a conference ot
producers and state agricultural
specialists held in Washington this
month where provisions were dis
last year bought and killed almost
1,000,000 dairy cows. All the gain
ot that slaughter has been lost.
"Butter production is down 35,-
000,000 pounds. Oleo production is
up 100,000,000 pounds. The price of
butter is off two cents a pound from

Oleomargarine has been manufac

stolen only 200,000,000 pounds of
the butter market. In 1935 it will
steal another 200,000,000 pounds—•

ganization. the basic factors that
make our price structure are being
destroyed or molded to the benefit
of others by distributors, manufac
turers and politicians.” Mr. Sexauer
urged dairy farmers to unite to
fight the oleo battle, concluding,
“maybe If we could tackle this one
together, others might not seem so
difficult.”
