THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1930 NUTRITIONISTS ARE DEVISING MENUS T0 AID FAMILY BUDGET Red Cross =xperts Gather at Two Meetings; Urge Grow- ing of More Greens ‘BALANCED RATION’ SEEK Idea Is to Use Foods Locally Available or Which May Still Be Grown ‘Washington, Aug. 29.—( ‘The name of Herbert Hoover, which, in World war times, was heard at every dinner table, may once more balance the ménu for many a family in sec- tions stricken by drought. When the Red Cross nutritionists part in the president's drought-relief program gets under way, some who} learned to like brown bread for their country’s sake during the war, may grow fond of greens in the patriotic cause of pellagra prevention. In Washington, and in St. Louis, the nutritionists, a small but atert army of young women in blue uni- forms, have been organizing their drought-wide “balanced ration” cam- paign, in a week's round of confer- ences. From the president of the Red Cross, Herbert Hoover, through its chairman, John Barton Payne, they received their call to drought duty—a request for a recommended menu suitable to each drought section, using the foods locally available, or which might still be grown at this late date. They will disperse Saturday, each one prepared to deal with the situa- tion in her own state. Since fresh foods play so great a part in prevention of pellaga, their general orders will be to promote the growing of beans, greens, and in some warmer sections, tomatoes. Greatest stress will be laid on growing the greens—food for the cow that must be encouraged to furnish milk, and for the hen that must be induced to lay eggs, as well as for the family. > {PEOPLE’S FORUM | | cc 2 cell aa o To The Tribune: The opponents of the Nonpartisan League charged the League in its early days with attempting to make the sky the limit for taxation. These opponents may have had a clean skirt at that time. As to that I do not know. But it is very apparent that the pot and the kettle are equally black today. Section 174 of the State Constitu- tion provides that the revenues which may be raised for state purposes shall not exceed four mills on the dollar of assessed valuation. This section does not state that the rate of levy on general property shall not exceed four mills; it says that the revenues raised shall not exceed four mills, Section 174 must either be inter- preted as it reads or it is of no value. ‘Whether you take money out of my pocket directly with your right hand or indirectly with your left hand makes very little difference to me. ‘The money leaves my pocket in either case. Nor is there any use in placing a@ limit on what you may take with your right hand if you may take with your left hand without limit. ‘The power to tax is the power to destroy. It can be used to destroy Property and crush liberty. It is ex- tremely dangerous not to have a limit on such @ power. Public officials are subjected to a constant barrage of demands from the users of tax moneys. The plaint of the taxpayer is feeble in comparison with the clamor of the tax user, and public officials will inevitably yield to the latter unless there is a wall raised, a limit, beyond which they can not go. Section 174 must either be inter- preted as it reads or we have no limit on taxation in North Dakota. I may be taxed for going to bed and I may be taxed for getting up. I may be taxed for wearing a hat or a cap or nothing at all. I may be taxed for OUT OUR WAY MARKED By Rex E. Willard, Prices The purchasing power of farm products of North Dakota farmers in terms of commodities bought by farmers Aug. 15 was estimated to be 61 per cent. General Commodity Prices Wholesale prices ‘in the United States declined from June to July and into August and the July prices ‘were generally about 20 per cent low- er for all commodities than July, 1929. While there has been a slight rise in agricultural prices in the past 30 days, there has been a continued decline in non-agricultural prices. Business Conditions Industrial production and general business activity continue to decline during July and into August and no important indications point to an im- mediate recovery. Wheat An increase in winter wheat of nearly 40 million bushels and a de- crease in spring wheat of about 23 million bushels, a net increase of ap- proximately 15 million bushels over that estimated July 1, is indicated by the Aug. 1 estimate. The world sup- ply of wheat for this market year ac- cording to present indications will be about the same as last year. While the crop may be somewhat larger, the stocks of old wheat appear to be slightly less. It seems certéin that most classes of winter wheat will be relatively on an export basis but hard red spring wheat will more nearly meet the do- mestic requirements. Flax ‘The decrease in flax prices has been largely due to the falling-off in demand, althoughmore recent declines have been influenced to some extent by a prospective increase in world production. The future movement of flax prices will depend on general business conditions, particularly building activity. Potatoes Potato production in the United | States Aug. 1 is estimated to be 373) million bushels which is about 13) million bushels more than that of last year. The 5-year average production is nearly 393 million bushels. Since} Aug. 1 conditions have not improved and in some states have materially decreased the prospective yield. That turning this way or for turning that way or for not turning at all. We must have a limit on the amount ‘of money that may be raised for public use, O. B. SERVATOR, Walcott, N. D.

NORTH DAKOTA FARM OUTLOOK Farm Economist North Dakota Agricultural College shipments of cattle that inevitably follow. Feed supplies are short and this will tend to decrease the demand for feeders and stockers and should result in a higher price for prime beef next summer. Reports from cattle feeders Aug. 1 indicate a decrease in the movement of stocker and feeder cattle into the corn belt as compared with 1929, due to a short corn crop. Hogs Smaller hog marketings are likely during the next two months than for the corresponding period of last year but small feed supplies may material- ly change this indication. In North Dakota the feed shortage will not be as severe as in some other states, which ought to ‘give the hog pro- ducer of North Dakota some advan- tage in the next 12 months. Sheep, Lambs and Wool Farmers who contemplate adding a few sheep as a permanent proposition will undoubtedly find the present season very opportune for getting breeding stock, particularly ewe lambs. ‘That prices of lambs and wool will remain reasonably profit- able to those who practice reasonably good management seems certain. The wool situation has encountered some improvement in the past month, and the present prices are likely to go but little higher unless the industrial sit- uation should continue for a long period. Doubtless there will be a consider- able reduction in sheep numbers both in this country and abroad in the next few years. Also, improvement in industrial conditions is expected within one or two years at most.
