A sprinkling of short selling also had ts effect on the price movement when the rate for call money was from its renewal quotation of to in the early afternoon, allowing the calling of about $20,00,000 in loans. This seHing was coincident with vigorous buying of selected stocks on he circulation of reports of excellent arnings, stock dividends and larger ash distributions to shareholders.

Iowa Institutions Win Milt'Contest Des Moines, May --Iowa and Michigan have staged a 12 month contest in milk production and Iowa has won. The charitable and penal Institutions of the two commonwealths were pitted against each other during 1926 In a friendly competition arranged by the boards of control and the Hawkeys state came In ahead by showing a milk production of 10,161 pounds per cow on state farms, 'against a production of 10, 081 for every bossy In the pastures of Wolverine Institutions. What pure-bred herds and scientific care can do in milk production is shown by comparison of Institutional figures with those for milk cows on farms In general.

The average milk production for Iowa cows outside Institutions In 1928 was but 4051 pounds, not half that institutional herds; while the per cow production in Michigan was 3,918 pounds. Iowa's best showing was at the Clarinda state hospital where each milk cbw averaged 13,626 pounds Leader in Michigan was the Tra verse City state hospital herd with an average of 12,939 pounds. Th Hawkeye victory is credited to A McColl, member of the hoard control, who has directed the instl tutlonal farms and has made them show a profit In every year since thi war. Iowa already claims the hlgbes state institutional production in the country of corn, pork, butter an Alaskan Deer Brought Nearer U. S.
