BIRTH RATE DROP
HURTS MILK PRICE
Farm |
|
Need Seen for Increased
Use by Adults.
By LELAND SPENCER
The decline in the number of
young children Ys one reason for the
reduced use of milk the past few
| years, according to the New York
state college of agriculture.
The declining birth rate calls for
special efforts by the milk industry
to push the general use of milk as
a drink by adults, and especially to
break down the tendency of ado-
lescents to switch from milk to oth-
er drinks.
Efforts
should also be continued
to find ways to get fluid milk at less
cost to families of low incomes. This
is the surest way to ward off the
| substitution of other forms of milk
| for fresh milk.
As for dealers’ '‘spreads’ on re-
| tail milk in nine important mar-
{kets of the United States, the
| spreads were reduced during the de-
| pression, but are now larger than
| ever.
The of milk dealers to
reduce their spread on retail milk
is the main reason for the less
friendly pub attitude toward them
the past few years. Those acquaint-
ed with the situation, however, know
that the chief obstacle to reducing
the spread is high wages and the
| difficulty of using less labor, espe-
| cially for retail delivery.
As to the outlook for the milk in-
dustry during the next two years,
the Cornell milk marketing special-
ists say much depends on the trend
of commodity prices.

Aerial Photos Offer
Accurate Farm Record
ith the advent of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment act, and the need
for. accurate field measurement to
check compliance with the soil con-
servation program, aerial photog-
raphy came into its own as a cheap,
quick, indisputable method of land
mapping.
Accurate field measurement is im-
portant under the AAA because
conservation payments are made
at a specified rate per acre of land
planted. Prior to the use of air
photography, a number of methods,
ranging from the old measuring
wheel to surveying, were used.
Cost of checking performance
from the air iis about one-third less
than the earlier methods of land
measurement, Air photography
costs about four cents per acre as
compared with six cents per acre
under older measuring methods.
The cost is included as part of the
| administrative expense deducted
{ from payments to farmers.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
Peter Pond, Pathmaker
HEY say that when Peter Pond
was born to the wife of a Mil-
ford, Conn., shoemaker in 1740 he
“arrived in a restless mood’ and
from that time until the end of his
life he was constantly on the go.
His father wanted him to “stick to
the last” but the boy's restlessness
led him into the British army at the
age of 16. He served under Lord
Howe, Sir William Johnson and Gen-
eral Amherst in Canada and there
learned of the wealth of the country
he was helping to conquer. It was
urs and he was destined to become
one of America’s greatest fur trad-
ers.
After the French and Indian war
was over, he went to sea and after
a successful voyage to the West In-
dies returned to Milford to find his
mother dead. So he took charge of
his eight younger sisters and broth-
ers until his father returned from a
trading trip to Detroit.
When his father died Peter as-
sumed his debts and in 1760 went
to Detroit to engage in the Indian
trade. He spent one winter at Mich-
illimackinac, then ‘took another
turn to ye West Indies.” But he was
soon back in the West—at Prairie
du Chien and Green Bay, Wis.
About 1775 he gave up the trade
in the Mississippi valley and went
up into Canada. He is said to have
been the first white man to reach
the Peace river country and when
the North West company was or-
ganized in 1784 he was one of the
shareholders. He helped wrest the
valuable Chipewayan trade away
from the Hudson's Bay company
and he inspired the famous explor-
ing expedition of Alexander Macken-
zie to the Pacific. Pond sold out
his interests in the North West com-
pany in 1790 and is said to have died
in poverty a few years later.

In Jackson Mo., he was
captured by slavery bushwhack-

dead. Upon recovering, he enlisted
in the Union army, rose from ser-

served throughout the Civil war.
Once he and several of his company
were captured by Quantrill's guer-
rillas and sentenced to be shot.
Their lives were saved by a Fed-
eral commander who threatened to
hang an equal number of Southern
sympathizers if they were harmed.
After the war, Phelan, with his
sword-cane, was a picturesque fig-
ure on the streets of Kansas City
where he became noted for his skill
as a swordsman and his readiness
to settle any quarrel on the duelling
grounds with rapier or pistol. Then
he enlisted in the fight for Irish
freedom, joined the Fenians but
quarreled with some of their lead-
ers because of their terroristic
nethods. As a result, three “dyna-
miters’’ in 1885 attacked him in his
office and almost slashed him to
death with their daggers before he
beat them off. After many months
in the hospital he finally recovered
