THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER, MCHENRY, ILI* rtiniiiiiiiiiiiniiniiniiintiiiiinninns {Nexus Brevities| of Illinois | imiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuii? Springfield. -- Fifty-four million pounds of surplus butter on September 1 presents a serious problem that must be considered by dairy nnd creamery Interests, said A. D. Lynch, director of the Illinois marketing department of tne Illinois Agricultural association. Mr. Lynch advocated the slogan. "Spread your butter a little tMcker" for Illinois 'dairymen during the next few months. Records show stocks in storage on September 1 to be i."if,U00,000 pounds compared to the 1923 storage of 102,000,000 pounds. •'One hundred and fifty-six million {>ouuds of butter looks like enough to keep oar waffles and pancakes and luead buttered for a long time," sold Mr. Lynch, "but the, average surplus on September l for the last live veurs has been about 10*2,000,000 pounds. If every man. woman and child on farms will eat an extra five ounces of butter between now and next May, that surplus will be entirely wiped out! If it isn't eaten it will mean lower prices and losses to the whole dairy industry. Every farmer's family ought to eat ji little more butter. At least, every farmer who has been defeating Ills' own dairy^industry by buying butter substitutes should cut them out and eat real dairv products." ' _ ; V.

Washington. -- Secretary Hoover nrged interconnection of radiocasting stations as a dally routine in his the third national radio conference tinder the auspices of the Department of Commerce. He declared that local stations in every section of the «i»untry should be able to handle every . Important event of national signitt- < cance as a regular proposition. He touched on a number of problems which are expected to be brought up aj the conference, Including tlie question of wave lengths, power of broadcasting stations, and the general development of broadcasting and marine service. ""We require a still further adviiftce ' in the character of material beyond the capacity of local station direc- „' tors, if the art is to emerge entirely from the curio and entortainiueat stage to that of fundamental^ service,* said Secretary Hoover. ! > * "Experimental broadcasting upon a national scale during the last year ' has now brought us to the stage where we know Ft" can he done. The local* material available for tlie local program is not, In my view, enough to maintain assured interest, and therefore the Industry, or to adequately fulfill the broadcasting mission. So far as they are developed. I think we Oil agree that for accuracy and regularity of reception we can depend-.only on the local broadcasting stath»ii*. "My proposition is that the local stations must be able to ifeliver every important nationul event with regularity. The focal station must be able to bring to its listeners the greatest music and entertainment of the nation, hut far beyond this, it must he able to deliver important .pronouncements of public men, It -must bring instantly to our people a hundred aud one matters of national interest. "To this It must add its matters of local Interest. This can only be accomplished by regularly organized interconnection on a national basis with nationally organized and directed programs for some part of the day in supplement to more local materia!."
