a a THE GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE Friday Evening, November 5, 1937 Growth of Dairying in South Is Threat to Wisconsin, Jack FARMERS TO ORGANIZE Milk Pool Executive Takes Dig at Roosevelt Administration Policies. HITS FOREIGN IMPORTS BULLETIN MADISON, -P- The Wisconsin Farmers Equity union adopted a resolution urging state delegates in congress to work for adoption of the Ludlow resolution which would permit declaration of war national referendum, onlycept in cases of foreign invasion. The resolution, introduced by Congressman Louis Ludlow of Indiana, is before the Judiciary committee of congress. Madison Bureau) MADISON, Wi the largest and most important element of Wisconsin's huge agricultural Industry is currently threatened increasing imports of dairy produce from foreign countries and the steady rise of a comern states, Jack, Hortonpeting dairy Industry, in the southville, president of the Wisconsin Cooperative Milk Pool, warned delegates, at convention the here Wisconsin Thursday Equity afternoon. Inferentially attacking the farm policy of the Roosevelt administration, Jack observed sarcasticalily that while in former, years were urged "to make two blades grass grow where one grew before," they are now to reduce production imports from competing -European nations steadily rise.

Dairying in South Jack's remarks followed speech by representative of Secretary of State Cordell Hull's department in which it was claimed that the Roosevelt administration's reciprocal trade treaties cannot be blamed for increasing agricultural imports. The Outagamie county farm leader also warned that Wisconsin dairying faces a serious threat in the rapidly developing dairy industry in southern United "who are fast becoming our close competitors for dairy leadership. We find that Arkansas last year increased its production of dairy products approximately 25 per Indiana 10 per cent, Louisiana 10 per cent, Duel in Offing as New Weather Feature Begins "Fair tonight and Saturday; colder tonight; warmer Saturday; lowest temperature tonight near 25 degrees." Monsieur Fred Cone had glint in his eye when interviewed in his office atop the Minahan building this morning. For Monsieur Cone faces competition as local weather prophet. Announcement last night by the Press-Gazette of a new weekly weather feature to be conducted in this newspaper by Dr.

Selby Maxwell was of particular interest to Mr. Cone. Mr. Cone stated that he had heard of Dr. Maxwell before, and welcomed the opportunity to compare notes on Green Bay's weather with the famous astronomer.

Mr. Cone wants to see what observation of the stars and four-dimensional mathematics can offer in the way of weather forecasting as against the United States Weather bureau's map-reading methods. In the future, therefore, this column will attempt to compare notes as between Cone's forecasts and Dr. Maxwell's, with a daily check-up on how the two forecasts compare with actual conditions out in Green Bay's open air. On Mr.

Cone's record for the last month Dr. Maxwell will have a hard time improving, for the local bureau hasn't been wrong very often in the last few weeks. Last night was the first time it really missed for quite a while, calling rain turning to snow while the nearest approach was a mass of threatening clouds this morning. Mr. Cone said today, however, that the danger of rain or snow seems safely past, and that tonight's weather will be cold but fair, with fair weather and warmer temperatures probable for tomorrow.

This was all good news for weekend football followers. Three focuses of air pressure bearing down on Green Bay yesterday became mixed up in their progress toward this city and altered conditions from what could be reasonably expected yesterday morning. A low from the northwest passed over the city harmlessly, and tonight a high pressure area, bringing cold and fair weather, was heading for Green Bay, expected to reach here tonight. Tomorrow another low from the northwest is expected here, bringing warmer mercury readings again, but no rain. Asks Alimony at 90 4p C.

B. Clayton (above), 90, filed suit for divorce and "reasonable alimony" from his wife of eight years, Mrs. Mary Clayton, 77. He charged she deserted him when his money was gone and alleged he had only pension of $10 month while she had a monthly income of $250. They live in Los Angeles.

Mississippi 11 per cent, and Texas 32 per cent." "We cannot stand idly by and allow foreign nations, whose sanitary standards are so much lower than ours, to sell their dairy products to the American public. We cannot allow southern states to take away our position of leadership in the dairy industry," he declared. Jack maintained that farmers can solve their present problems only through cooperative enterprises, and a close knit organization. "The farmer, because of his independent position, is today the lowest paid man in he told the 500 delegates who cheered his speech. Must Be Organized The pool president quoted Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture, as saying that farmers "cannot expect economic justice until they organize themselves." "Our economic and social life has become top-heavy," he went on.

"It is now necessary to make adjustments. Many classes have organized for their own protection. Labor is today organized as never before in the history of the nation," he pointed out. Although the American and Wisconsin farmer today sits on the lowest rung of the national economic ladder, "he has no one to himself," Jack informed the delefor, that position except gates. Cooperatives, he said, will go far toward increasing the farmer's share of the national income, but they must be economically managed.

Many cooperatives in Wisconsin today, he declared, are defeating the whole idea of cooperation by competing with one another. That must end, he concluded. GRAIN MARKET CUT MADISON, Reduction in horse population in this country has meant the elimination of a market for 30,000,000 acres grain, Dean Chris L. Christensen of the University of Wisconsin college of agriculture told the Farmers' Equity union convention last night. Speaking before 400 delegates attending the annual union banDean Christensen urged farmers to try and understand the need for adjusting themselves to fundamental economic changes that have resulted from the depression.

Three major reasons for agricultural readjustment at this time, the dean said, are the nation's change from a debtor to a creditor country, shrinkage in foreign markets, and mechanization of the farm. Not Fully Realized "I'm not sure that we fully realize the impact of the mechanization of agriculture," he pointed out. "The reduction in horse so population in this country meant the elimination of a market for 30 million acres of our grain." Arlie. Mucks, Madison, director of the Farmers' Security corporation, described federal assistance to debt-burdened farmers, explaining that $5,000,000 has been spent in the state during the past two years to aid the farmer. Cecil Crews, Minneapolis, secretary, of the Northern State Cooperative league, emphasized the need for agriculture to "dictate its own economic destiny" through cooperatives.

G. O. P. LEADERS DISAGREE 4p Joseph W. Martin (left), of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican Congressional delegation, told John D.

Hamilton said he thought the conference was "advisable." The leaders are shown as they met in Chicago. Scout Movement Aimed at Building Boys' Character (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is one of series of articles describing the work of the 10 organizations affiliated with the Green Bay Community Chest, which will launch its annual drive Friday, Nov. 12.) A few nights ago here in Green Bay a trusting youngster just past his 12th birthday stood scrubbed and serious in the center of a trimly-uniformed group of 25 or so boys and men. There was a moment of solemn stillness, and then he raised his right hand, took a deep breath, and made promise that binds him for life. "On my honor HAVE A will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." And so Chester became a member of the Boy Scouts of America.

Since 1910 and through 1935, the latest year on which we have figures handy, exactly 6,945,160 boys and men have made this same promise- the Scout Oath. Reasons and for the high recommendations given the movement by educational and. civic leaders everywhere might summed up in two sentences. In the first place, the organization has an outstanding program. Second, it is so set up that it is able to carry out this program.

Plenty of Company Chester has plenty of company here in Green Bay. His troop is one of 19 in the city, and besides that there are five Cub packs for boys under 12, and one Sea Scout ship. There are 392 Scouts, 026 Sea Scouts, 84 Cubs, 23 Cub leaders, and 130 Scouters or Scout leaders, making 502 boys and 153 leaders registered in the city this year. Last year's figures showed 304 Scouts, 26 Sea Scouts, 56 Cubs, and 85 Scouters. No organization is able to function without at least some funds.

In Scouting the members pay their own way, buying their own uniforms by working or through special projects, and taking care of troop expenses. Leadership is the predominant note, it is Scouting's key of success, and naturally the members cannot be expected to pay the expense of training their Scoutmasters and keeping them supplied with materials. Chester's Scoutmaster, along with the committeemen of his troop, is a volunteer worker, spending much time and some of his own money on his group, but not receiving any, compensation. In fact the only salaries go to the full time executive of the Nicolet council, to which Green Bay belongs, and to an office worker. It for this, and for other administrative expenses, that the Chest's money is used, along with con- Week-End Sale Dresses $300 $500 Values to $8.95 Values to $15.95 Sizes from 12 to 52 You'll be amazed at the quality and styling of these garments.

In Green Bay perhaps the most important of these is the annual toy pickup, repair shop and distribution depot for the children Green Bay's needy families. Boy Scouts always assist in the two Community Chest paper collections each year, much spare time during the Chest drive is spent running errands and making deliveries. Thanksgiving "good turns" might also be mentioned. Scouts advance as fast as their own individual efforts permit. Chester is starting out as a Tenderfoot, next comes Second Class, and after a few months, chances are that he will First Class Scout.

He does not have to stop there, in fact he probably won't, for the work gradually becomes more dificult and the honors higher. Scouting is for "regular for sissies and not for toughs. The members are kept so busy doing the things normal, active boys like to do that they just can't be anything else but a fine group of young American citizens. Much of their work, first aid, wood craft, conservation, and many other things, is of practical value. Church Plays Part Scouting is a character-building institution.

Chester will learn how to get along with other boys. He will go to weekly troop meetings where he will help to actually run his group, for a Scoutmaster is never a boss, but always a leader. Nearly half of all Boy Scouts in the United States meet in church buildings and under church leadership. The Boy Scout movement recognizes the fundamental influence and value of the church, along with that of the school and home. Its aim reinforce and supplement and not supplant these basic institutions and their services to boys.
