Rival Dairying Interests Proof that agriculture’s interests frequently are so diverse as to be/ antagonistic is demonstrated by the current arguments over milk-control systems now going forward in Wash- ington. The producers, the Agricul- tural Adjustment Administration, congress and the consumer all are! embroiled in it. | The agricultural department has| taken the view that the primary con-| Bideration in establishing a milk- control system is the production of butterfat. Producers in the big “milk sheds” are bitterly opposed to the idea. They contend that the price Situation should be based entirely on the interests of the men who pro- quce and market fluid milk. To get a clear view of the dispute, ft is necessary, first of all, to under- stand what a milk shed is. As used in the current discussion, the term mpplies to those areas surrounding large cities wherein are produced the milk which is sold in the fluid state in those markets. The milk-shed producer is interested in the price of milk sold in its natural or pasteurized State for delivery in bottles on the consumer's doorstep. Opposed to their interests are those of thousands of other farmers who have no outlet for milk in the fluid state. These are the ones who sepa- rate their milk, feed the skimmed portions to the hogs and market the cream in the form of butterfat at the nearest creamery or marketing center. Ya the latter class are the vast ajority of dairymen in this state nd those in Minnesota and Wiscon- sin whose milk goes into the manu- facture of butter, cheese and related products, North Dakota’s milk sheds are few and insignificant. Our larger cities may be said each to have one, but these amount to nothing when com- pared with butterfat milk production. Minnesota has a milk shed for the twin cities, but it is insignificant ‘when compared with the volume produced in the districts which sup- ply milk to its hundreds of coopera- tive, chain and privately-owned cfeameries. Generally speaking, the biggest @airies are in the milk shed districts nd dairymen in those regions are better organized than is the case elsewhere. Nevertheless, the inter- ests of the butterfat farmer are more! widespread and, in the aggregate, ™more important than those of the milk shed farmer. This is the view which Secretary Wallace has taken and the nub of the price-control controversy. It is @ stand which deserves the whole- hearted support of the average North Dakota farmer. Constructive Criticism With General Johnson’s large and grisly exhibition of dead cats on dis- play in Washington as the result of his own invitation, it is well to note that one of the major victories look- ing to the reform of the NRA was ‘won by one of our own statesmen, Benator Gerald P. Nye. ‘Whether or not Senator Nye proved his claims that the NRA has tended to aid the big business man rather than the little one, the public can- hot yet say. But the indication that he did is contained in the appoint- ment of the NRA appeal advisory] .- hoard to review the complaints of which Senator Nye received thou- sands in the few weeks after it be- came known that he was interested in the matter.

By his actions in this, case Senator Nye proves a flair for real states- which the people of North Dakota imposed in him at the 1932 election.

Naturally enough, together. time has mellowed their spirits and may. For this reason the advice of Mr. and Mrs, Richard Wood, ranking members of the Golden Wedding | club, is worth consideration, “When things get on the ragged edge and tempers are near the hair-trigger stage, get out of the house and take a brisk walk” they suggest, out of more than half a century of experience. Each of them regards it as a pretty fair remedy for marital misunder- standings. It has worked well for them. It is easy to see why adoption of this same system would benefit others. Honoring the Enemy! The ways of a statesman some- times are a trifle hard to figure out. Austria’s Chancellor Dollfuss seems to be the latest to contribute a rid- dle of statesmanlike behavior. Trying to patch up the wounds which he helped to inflict on his tortured country, the chancellor the other day pleaded for national har- mony and remarked that “we cannot but respect the bravery of the Social- ists and their loyalty to their ideals.” And, he added, “we must do all we can to heal the open wounds.” Yet, on the same day, he hanged another Socialist leader, sentenced two more to life imprisonment, pad- locked all Socialist bookstores, and saw to it that all Socialist newspapers were removed from circulation. As a method of healing open wounds and showing respect for the bravery of one’s opponents, this would seem to be almost unique. Still Young in Ideas Senator Norris of Nebraska is get- ting to be a fairly elderly man. But he never seems to get tired of fight- ing for sweeping changes in govern- ment, and his newest program is one that many a younger man, with long years ahead of him, well might fight shy of. What the senator now proposes is @ change in the Nebraska state gov- ernment which would substitute a single body of from 30 to 50 men for the existing state legislature. Senator Norris believes that the bi- cameral legislature is unwieldy and not always responsive to public opin- ion; so he would abolish it boldly, in- stall a simpler mechanism in its place —and, he believes, in that way create @ more efficient and representative state government. How far he will get with this pro- gram remains to be seen. Senator Norris has a way of hanging on like grim death until he gets what he wants, And his proposal is at least an interesting one. Will he be able to “sell” it to the people of Nebraska? Editorial Comment Editorlals printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

BASAL METABOLISM TEST IN PLASTIC SURGERY A while ago something printed here plainly hinted that basal metabolism tests are hokum of the machine age of what was once indeed the art of medicine. A hot-cha specialist or his attrac- tive office girl or near-nurse trun- Gling a basal metabolism outfit hither and yon to measure the patient's metabolism somehow reminds me of the gadgets they furnish in the no- tions departments of accessory stores —you know, the attachments which save 25 per cent of your gas and oil yet give you 25 per cent more speed, Pickup or time for healing. But I want to give this basal me- tabolism thing a fair break. Many of my too well equipped colleagues may not believe it, but for a year I have been combing current medical litera- ture and querying physicians and specialists everywhere in quest of a good reason, if any, for measuring metabolism with a machine, And finally I have found something. In the course of a paper on “Re- constructive Surgery and Old Facial Burns” read, curiously enough, before the Section in General and Abdom- inal Surgery of the American Medi- cal association in Milwaukee last June, Dr. Howard L. Updegraff, dis- tinguished scultpural surgeon of Hollywood, and Fellow of the Amer- ican College of Surgeons, pointed out that in order to achieve the desired smoothness of healing it is necessary to carry out considerable routine pre- operative work, such as urinalysis, red and white blood counts, differ- ential, bleeding and clotting time and a Wasserman test. Then he made| this interesting observation: “From the point of view of purely reconstructive plastic sur- gery, our greatest laboratory in- terest is in the basal metabolism reading. Without exception in a large series of burned patients with keloid scars we have found markedly low metabolic rate. I believe that the increased con- centration of the blood over & long period, following large burns, produces a partial asphy- xiation of the tissues, which pere manently damages the mechan- ism controlling the metabolic rate. The administration of thyroid substance by mouth has markedly improved the keloids under our observation and in certain hypertrophic scars has been almost a specific.” Keloid is the name doctors give to excessive formations of scar (hyper- trophic means overgrown). Often the heaped up scar has finger-like Projections into the surrounding nor- mal skin, resembling a claw—the term keloid is derived from a Gapek word meaning claw. Patients some- times complain of a clawing sensa- tion. Certain individuals seem par- ticularly disposed to develop exces- sive scar from trifling injury. Even from a pimple, or from electrolysis of hair follicle, or from insect bite. In @ few instances keloids spontane- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Tax Bill Too Deep for House to Understand ... Norris NN men’ BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, March 2.—The hot- test potato in Washington right now is the sugar issue. Is the administration’s sugar pro- duction control bill an entering wedge both toward elimination of uneco- nomic, expensive, tariff-protected in- dustries and the control of industry and its profits? That's a big bite, but many whis- pers from the inside answer “yes” on both counts. Lobbyists for do- mestic sugar interests have sent a rallying cry to other tariff bene- ficiaries, urging them to join in de- fense against @ common peril. ‘The bill itself is innocent enough. It would stabilize the industry by do- mestic and import quotas, restore beet and cane growers to pre-war protected, be- cause refiners wouldn't be allowed a greater profit spread. But Roosevelt's skeptical attitude toward what Secretary Wallace calls|}4 “hothouse industries” complicates the picture and the whole apple-cart was at least threatened with upset when A. J. 8. Weaver, head of AAA's Sugar section, made indiscreet and unauthorized assertions at House hearings. He explained the bill well, but let himself be drawn into virtual asser- tions that the administration wanted to get rid of the $60,000,000 domestic industry, which costs consumers 9200,000,000 a year in tariff duties. ‘The inside story was that Weaver had left New Orleans by plane the Previous afternoon and was fagged, mentally and physically, beyond capacity. After the hearing he was the most miserable man in Washing- ton and sugar state representatives were making a terrific roar. Costigan of Colorado, who father- ed the bill in the Senate because of its immediate benefits to growers and atrociously underpaid labor, repudiat- ed a words as “foolish state- But beet sugar refiners were en- couraged, If they beat the bill, they think, they can make Roosevelt ac- cept the old stabilization agreement which would cut Cuban and Filipino planned, and allow them new, larger But they also know that Roosevelt might wreck them—if.he cared to— professors of explain lain English hundreds of items that are written as explicitly as possible.” and 33 senators, Political parties would ignored in primaries and elections.
