Naturally everyone is more inter ested in preventing a recurrence oi war than m anytmng so commonYet place as buying and selling. some whenever we plow through learned article about the necessity aftei nf international after the war, to make this a better world, we come to the notion oi "free trade." Most of the writers and professors and economists avoid those particular words, but any attempt to put their ideas in words of one syllable results in their use. They talk on s high plane about the necessity oi free markets, etc. Into nearly every such article creeps a disparaging reference to the tariff bill, which the Demo crats were fond of saying brougw about the 1929 depression. Now there is not the sliehtest de sire on the part of this writer to detariff bill, fend the except that not one person in a thousand who will agree what a terrible measure that was could give you the vaguest idea of what thai tariff bill did to any particular commodity. In other words, without the slightest idea of appraising the law, it has been condemned by the public, and by the professors and economists, too, without most of the judges knowing anything beyond the general idea that it raised tariff duties. But let's stop a minute and won der WHY that bill was passed! And then wonder another minute as tc whether, after the war, there wil not be the same sort of reasoning favoring an even higher tariff bar rier. We have two tremendous forces which will be working for just that sort of thing. One is that, being cut off by the war from the sources of many articles which normally we import in large volume, we are developing new industries to supply those needs. Synthetic rubber is one of the best illustrations, though probably that will not be among the leaders in demanding tariff protection after the war. Smoot-Hawle- 25-to- enough to stagger the imagination of the average individual, but that is simply a little "before breakfast chore" as compared with the extra effort necessary to raise the feed, do the additional milking and cool and care for that extra milk train load of milk each morning. Dry Milk Solids. For many years, the cream from about 45 billion pounds of milk each year has been used for the manufacture of butter, including both the e product. factory and the stream The flow of this of food rated by nutritionists as the No. 1 protective food is of vital life-givi- importance to our nation at all times, but especially so this year. The Allied nations and the soldiers of the United States must have milk and its products. Factory and munition workers have greater need than ever for milk and milk products. Office workers, housewives, school children and all other classes of the American population are ing to realize, as never before, their need for greater quantities of these vital foods in order to keep America strong by making Americans strong-er- . re-va- farm-mad- i ii iiiniiMtpanm..- - uwwmmpgimm Dairy Program. Today the National Dairy Council program, which the industry has sponsored for 23 years, is finding new recognition and new support. A national nutrition program is expanding and materially strengthening the realization of the fact that good nutrition is necessary to optimum health, vigor and vitality. This national nutrition program has been S t: J . in operation for more than a year. Just how are these 26 million cows and those responsible for the product meeting this challenge and this opportunity? We need not wait for that answer. Those "bossies" and their masters are meeting the challenge. Starting with an average production of 104 billion pounds of milk during the years 1935 to 1939; there was 111 billion pounds of milk produced in 1940; 115 billion 500 million pounds of milk in 1941, and the production fot 1942 is estimated at not less than 120 billion pounds of milk to be produced in the United States. In other words, for each and every day of the year, including Sundays and holidays, there is being produced more than 44,000,000 pounds of milk over that of five years ago. That is the equivalent of a fully loaded milk train of 50,000 pound capacity cars, 1yt miles long over and above their normal production. Terrific Handling Problem. Stated in terms of ten gallon milk cans, if these were filled and placed side by side, we would find that we had every month a line of filled milk cans 3,150 miles long over and above the amount of m that was produced in this country in the same period during the preceding period. Producing such a vol- - v , Milk made, the difference both dogs had the same food, but the larger one received a daily milk ration. ( Of this, about 30 billion pounds of milk have been farm separated with the remaining skimmed milk being kept on the farms for feed for calves, pigs and chickens. One of which the the severe industry has been called upon to make in order to furnish sufficient dry milk powder to the United Nations has been to shift from farm separation of much of this milk to the delivery of whole milk. Manufacture of dry milk solids is gaining rapidly and in March e reached an high of 49,800,-00- 0 pounds. While the speeding up of the manufacture of dry milk solids has necessarily been delayed longer than seemed desirable on account of the vast amount of changes in practice necessary, both on the farms and in the plants; yet, it is now gaining momentum rapidly. Production today is approximately 120 per cent of 1941. The three states of Wisconsin, New York and California produce of all the dry more than milk solids in the country at the present time. Other states impor- all-tim- one-ha- ar lf J 1 Mutton" i dairy cow weighing 1,000 pounds (providing she maintains her weight and produces 7,605 pounds of milk a year) eats approximately the following amounts of feed in one year: two acres of rich pasturage in five months of summer; 6,300 pounds of silage and 2,730 pounds of alfalfa hay during the seven remaining months; and 1,700 pounds of grain throughout the entire 12 months. A Ice Cream Consumption More Than Doubled Long regarded as the "all American" dessert, ice cream is rapidly coming to be recognized not only as an economical food, but since it also contains all of the ingredients of milk, as one of the best protective foods. Within the past eight years; consumption has risen from about 44 quarts pen person per year, lOMi quarts per person per year in 1941. That figure is rising rapidly. Ice cream takes the output ff nearly one million cows. In the manufacture of ice cream, Pennsylvania leads the nation closely followed by New York. These two states produce more than of all the ice cream in the United States. Illinois, Ohio, California, Michigan, Massachusetts, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, New Jersey, Iowa and Maryland follow in the order of this productive (importance. one-four- , r vere changes in both farm agement practice and in the tion of butter factories. Farmers have had to adjust their operations to new methods of feeding. Cream eries have been obliged to put in new equipment, to train new pertheir operat sonnel and to ing and merchandising plans. This is in addition to another difficult problem which- - the butter making industry must face every year and that is, the varying seasonal produc tion. During the year 1940 to 1941 varied butter manufacture by months from a low of 115 million 700 thousand pounds in November to a high of 205 million 300 thousand pounds in June. North Central States. Most of these changes have been brought about in the North Central states where butter production is the heaviest Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin rank first, second and third in the order named as the "big three" in the butter industry in the United States. After that come Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas, Indiana, Cali fornia, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Washington, These 15 states produce more than 85 per cent of all the butter made in the United States. Cheese is another important dairy product, the manufacture of which has been materially affected by current conditions. Largely as the re sult of the war and the demand for American cheese abroad, production of this product has been stepped up enormously. The government re quest in March, 1941, for 250 million pounds of cheese amounted to an urging, on its part, for almost 50 per cent increase in production. The industry has met that request and more. Nearly 300 million pounds of " cheese had been provided for purchases from March 15, 1941, to April 1, 1942. Cheese production is now running about 150 per cent as much as a year ago, Cheese is a product containing practically all the ingredients oi fluid milk, and as such, it is one ol the first on the protective list oi foods. Its value and its importance are gaining recognition rapidly. In the production of cheese, Wisconsin alone produces more than half of all the cheese in the United States. Fol lowing Wisconsin are New York, Illi nois, Indiana, Oregon, Ohio, Mis souri, Texas, Michigan and Minnesota in the order of their impor tance. Evaporated Milk Industry. War conditions have had an equal ly important bearing on the evap orated milk industry. To fill the de mand for a concentrated milk prod uct for the United Nations, the gov ernment asked for a step-u- p in production sufficient to supply 25 mil lion additional cases of evaporated milk. This called for an increase oi more than 50 per cent in manufac ture. It called for changes in farm management plans, for adjustments in evaporating plant operations, for the training of personnel and for shifts of merchandising methods fully equal to those tlie cheese in dustry met. Here again the goal was equalled and more. Approxi mately 30 million cases of evaporated milk has been furnished for "lease-lend- " operations. In this in dustry, too, Wisconsin leads with al most 30 per cent of all the evaporated milk production in the United States. Ohio, California, New York, Illinois, Micmgan, Missouri, Indiana, Washington and Pennsylvania follow in the order named. During June hundreds of thou sands of dollars' worth of publicity in newspapers and trade publica tions, in food and drug stores, ra dio programs, publicity stunts, ad vertising material at soda fountains, as well as education al programs, combine under the lead ership of the National Dairy council with the efforts of nutritional authorities to make of this the most elgantic effort to bring home to all people the realization of the need of better health and the place of milk and its products in achieving that manopera- th "lend-lease- point-of-sal- e, - ?:tyZ&A BASTED Smoot-Hawle- y dirV al MRS.

New Kinds of Production But we are developing new kinds of production at such a rate that t very high figure in the National Defense setup remarked that after the war we would be sufficient in nearly everything except rubber! Naturally every one of those industries, after peace comes, will be demanding high tariff duties. Obviously they cannot survive if they are going to be exposed to competition from the former producers ir overseas territory, all of whom have always had cheaper labor than we want to have, and who undoubtedlj will continue to have cheaper production. Bear in mind also that there will be no lack of shipping to transport those products, once peace comes. At the rate of ship building now going on all over the world, when the present rate of destruction of bottoms ceases there will soon be a glut of ships, as there was after the last war. To make this demand for tarifl protection tougher, politically, there will be an unemployment problem. The millions of men turned out oi the army, and the hundreds of thousands from the navy, will need jobs. Are we going, to complicate thai problem by permitting cheap foreign products to close down plants which, up to the day peace is signed, will be working at capacity production? 'Sea Otter Building Slows Down We are not going to have wooden ships in this war not because we would not like to have them, but because we haven't the labor available to build them. It takes a lot of work to make a wooden ship, and highly skilled work at hand, for the most part. The Maritime commission, in between tears over the ruthless burn ing of the old wooden ships built in the last war, anchored for years in various rivers and estuaries, and then destroyed, has reluctantly vetoed any further ventures along that line. Underneath all the foolishness about the sea otter is a sound idea. That idea is to produce something that will carry goods across water without straining any existing. facility. One of the greatest strains at the moment is on engine production. Every, engine that can be turned out, at the present time, and for as, far as we can see in the futurewhile the war lasts will be needed for 'other purposes.

SHE KNOWS Are you planning on doing some painting 6f your own during your spring house cleaning this year? Spray painting is often the quickest and most efficient way of doing the job, but the task of removing paint from windows or making masks to protect the glass often makes one decide to use the slower brush instead. These disadvantages can readily be eliminated by using the following glycerine containing glass masking coating. Kaolin 2.0 parts 1.5 parts Glycerine . . , , 4.5 parts , Water . 0.25 parts Butyle Alcohol ...... . Mix the above ingredients thoroughly, apply to the glass with a brush and allow to dry. After painting with a spray gaa and allowing the paint to dry, the mask may t removed with a putty knife or by washing with water, leaving the glasa ' fret from any paint This masking mixture can also be used to protect metal and similar surfaces during spray or brush painting.
