RICHMOND DAIRYMAN STRESSES NEED FOR MARKETING ECONOMY Dairy farmers sec a need for economies in milk marketing to provide consumers with cheaper milk, W. E. Winn of Richmond, president of the Pure Milk association, implied last Saturday in speaking at the annual meeting of the organization at the Coarsd Hilton hotel. Speaking before 2,000 -representatives of the organisation's 16,500 members, Winn said the ill will many consumers bear against dairy farmers and dairy products through current surpluses and prices for those products might be .eliminated if price declines nt the farm level were reflected in retail prices. He caHed for support of a dairy industry program to move butter into consumer channels at reasonable prices to get rid of butter surpluses, directed attention to the current • jeopardous position of farmers' milk prices *o SCHOLARSHIPS, EMPLOYMENT OFFER AID TO STUDENTS "Where there is a will to to college, there's a way to finance it," says Assistant Dean C. D. Smith of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. Tuition scholarships, cash scholarships and part-time employment afford financial aid to Illinois students of limited means. Scholarship and employment are only two of the topics Smith covers in his latest information letter sent regularly to prospective Illinois agriculture students. Four tuition scholarships pelcounty are. available to Illinois students. Each has a value of $475 if used for the maximum of eight semesters and three sessions of summer school. These include the agriculture and home economics scholarships, the county scholarships and a scholarship , for children of veterans -14' Thursday, March 25, 19 in the Chicago market and urg- ( iTuiUon scholarshlf), a. fd more porous 9ale8 efforts warded on the ibasis of competi- NOTICE The telephone number If the Alexander Lumber Co* McHenry, has been changed to 1424. 45 At Your Service rw RADIO AND • JKL TELEVISION Air Conditioners Clock.

At the same time he oppealed to his organization to accept as much adjustment in price as over-supply requires, to make """v effort on each farm to increase use of milk and dairy products, to support local a-J nation-wide programs to advertise and 3ell more milk and dairy products, and to re-examine the dairv industry's situation to see whether a better program of pi icing and surplus disposition can <be worked out. He proposed that Congressional committees and government groups help stimulate sales by investigating marketing efficiencies in various milk markets and "publishing results for consumers everywhere to read." Indicating that dairymen in the Chicago market are as efficient as anywhere, he added, "But when a quart of milk for which they receive eight cents sells on the doorstep for twenty-five cents, and they recall that their price is one cent per quart lower than eight years ago while the retail price is six cents higher, they begin to wonder whether it isn't time for some economies after the milk leaves the farm." The Richmond, 111.., dairy farmer said the answer to overproduction has to be found either in increasing sales or in producing less. He encouraged farmers to consider culling unprofitable cows from their herds and tc support advertising and sales programs. But he cautioncd them against assuming and expecting advertising to perform miracles in removing the p.xublem of overproduction. ROAD PROJECT IN THIS AREA PLACED ON STATE AGENDA tive examinations administered by the county superintendent of schools.

They were presented to the library by Gideon T. Stanton of New Orleans, grandson of Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton. Late in March, 1865, Lincoln went from Washington down to the vicinity of City Point, Virginia, some twenty miles down the James river from Richmond, to confer with (Sen. U. S. Grant. The signs of the times were then pointing to the imminent fall of the Confederate capital and the probable end of the war. Letters written in pencil >by Lincoln 'are rare -- Dr. Harry E. Pratt, state historian, says only half a dozen or so of the more than one thousand Lincoln documents in the library's collection are in pencil. Pen and ink were- likely not on hand aboard the steamer River Queen where Lincoln was quartered while at City Point. These two brief letters -- written on five by eiglit inch ruled note paper -- have to do with the date for the ceremonial raising of the Stars and Stripes over the ruins of Fort Sumter, at Charleston,.
