JoSj THE MILK QUESTION. hell; ay tb imp f. ier tt ) prominent physician of Salt Lake in discussing the milk price question, thp other day said: "All has been said that can be said, ut why dont some of our public awake, get out from under the lammor of political surfdom and do their duty to the public. "The facts are these: All cow feed s cheaper today than it was in 1914. 5o the farmer can produce his milk at ibout the same price now as then.

In order to hold milk up, the retailer skims, then dumps, thousands of gallons of milk per day, into the sewer. He also compells many producers to retain f or or even of his supply on the farm, for hogs or to waste. If the retail price were 8c the demand would take care of the supplies and every producer would get his 20c per gallon for all marketable milk. No supply and demand to regulate price here, but a combination of retail milk dealers. The fact is established that they pay less for milk that the farmer has been cut from 33 to as much as 60 per cent the retailer keeps all the difference and the consumer, pay the same. Milk can be retailed today almost as cheaply as in 1914. Hay and grain for the teams is less, by far (nearly labor is nearly down to 1914, but the retailer is getting 23 per cent more for the same job than he did a year ago. They tajk about bottles.

The value of 1919 crops produced In the Rocky Mountain section is estimated at $633,000,000 and the 1920 production as $527,000,000, a decrease over 1920 of only 16.8 per cent as compared with the decrease for the entire United States of 34.8 per cent. The value of 1920 crops in the Rocky Mountain district wras a little more than 5 per cent of the value of all crops in the United States, as compared with a little less- - than 4 per cent in 1919, a proportionate increase of over 25 per cent in one year. In view of the newness of this great section of the United States, from a standpoint of development these figures are inspiring to those who are trying to help develop this great UNCLE SAM IN THE PRODUCE BUSINESS. create a $100,000,000 Federal Farmers Export Financing Corporation has been introduced by Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture. The new agency would buy products in the United States and sell them abroad. It would be composed of the Secretary of Agriculture and four other directors appointed by the President at a salary of $7,500. Authorization of a bond issue up to ten times the paid-icapital is contained in the bill. The measure is described by Senator Norris as providing "a middleman between the producer in America and the consumer in Europe. We are confronted with a condition here, said Senator Norris in speaking of his bill, that makes it impossible for the farmers to dispose of their products for a price that will pay the A bill to n WEALTH OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN SECTION. Following information was given by W. W. Woods, of Los Angeles, to the Utah State Bankers in convention recently at Provo. The Rocky Mountain section of the United States, containing approximately 865,000 square miles, or 2S.6 per cent of the area of Continental United States, with a poulation of only 3.360.000 people, or 3.15 per cent of the population of the United Stales, stands today as the great empire to which the United States will look for its future expansion in production of raw materials. In spite of its comparatively small population and its many millions of acres of undeveloped land this region already comprises a great producing empire. In 1920 it produced aproximately S5, 000, 0000 bushels of wheat, almost 11 per cent of the production of the entire United States; approximately bushels of barley, 7 per cent of the production of the country more than 11,000,000 tons of hay or 12 per cent of all the hay produced in the United States; 32,000,000 bushels of potatoes, 7 per cent of all the United States production, and 4.173,-00- 0 tons of sugar beets, approximately 50 per cent of all sugar beets produced in this country. In additon, the ranges of this great country provide feed for millions of animals. There are almost 2,000,000 horses, 950,000 milk cows, 6,882,000 cattle other than milk cows, and 17,- 792.000 sheep. Approximately 14 per cent of the beef cattle and 40 per cent 14,-000,0- .of all sheep in the United States are 00 actual cost of production. In Europe there are millions of people suffering for these products, but they do not have the money with which to buy. It is expected that purchasing operations will be formed in the various countries of Europe where they are in need of these products. "I have been assured by representatives of foreign nations there will be no difficulty or delay in organizing cooperative initiations, the obligations of which will in turn be guaranteed by oiganizations of banks and in some in- stances, the guaranty will be further indorsed by the government under which the organizations are formed. As a matter of fact the American farmer is entitled to the use of this much federal money because in the operation of the grain corporation there was a net profit of $60,000,000 or all of which has been in effect paid into the Treasury of the United States and every dollar of which was contributed by the grain $70,-000,00- 0, growers of the country. THE R. R. DEBT. Certainly no one will question the fairness of the statement by President Samuel Rea, of the Pennsylvania railroad, that the government could help the roads by paying the amount due them. Ever since the government incurred obligations to the roads as a result of taking them over and operating them, the payment of the money due has been deferred by means of that endless system of red tape that characterizes most governmental business. No individual business man would expect to get along successfully if his large creditors indefinitely postponed payment. The railroads are in a similar situation. The government, acting through the Wilson administration, took over the roads without the consent of the owners. Just obligations accruing as a consequence of that action will ultimately be paid, but what the roads want is payment at a time when they are in such dire need of cash. APPOINTMENTS.
