PAGE SIX LAW TO PROTECT TRUCK GROWERS Secretary of Agriculture Is Directed to Enforce Act and Make Regulations-Rules Passage of house resolution No. 10510, introduced by Representat ive Hare, of South Carolina, gov erning the marketing of fruits, berries, and vegetables, will result in the saving of thousands of dol lars annually to truckers of the Wilmington area. Briefly the pur pose of the bill is to without good and sufficient cause therefor, of farm produce in interstate com merce prevent the dumping on the market of farm produce receiv ed in interstate commerce by com mission merchants and others to require them to correctly account for all farm produce received by them. Heretofore the grower has forwarded his truck and berries to the commission merchant without question or qu'bble, realizing that he stood to suffer enormous losses in event his produce was thrown on an improper market. . The bill provides that after June 30, 1927. any person, firm, associa tion or corporation receiving fruits, vegetables, melons, dairy or poultry products, or any perishable farm products in interstate commerce on behalf of another who without good cause shall destroy or aban don or dump any produce, or who shall with intent to defraud make any false report to the par ty from whom the produce was received regarding the handling, quality, quantity,sale and disposition thereof, or who shall with intent to defraud fail accurately to account therefor, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine cf SIOO to 83,000 a :d imprisonment for one year. New Cream Market In Central Carolina Raleigh, May 2—Dairy farming received added impetus and the progress of the state towards fur ther diversification and livestock growing was stimulated by the op ening of the new creamery at Ashe boro in Randolph county on Apri. 12th. “The opening of the creamery attracted much attention,” says E. S. Miilsaps, ccunty agent. “There was quite a rush of farmers to be the first man to deliver cream to the new plant. C. E. Kearns and B. S. Lawdence tied for first honors sir.ee one on the grounds first and the other succeeded in having his cream weighed in first. Both of these men are enthusiastic Guernsey breeders and although they have just started in the dairy business each of them now has eight registered cows. At present, Mr. Lawrence is milking ten cows and Mr. Kearns, five.” Mr. Millsaps states that the new creamery will be of great help to the farmers and will aid in es tablishing a dairy cattle industry fer the surrounding territory. He also believes that it will stimulate interest in poultry production since the creamery will handle both eggs and live poultry. This, he states, will keep the surplus from the gen eral market between the coopera tive car shipments which will be continued. Ihis is the third new creamery to be established in North Caro lina during the past year. Last year, the production of the 16 creameries already in operation amounted to 2,000,000 pounds of butter which was an increase of 19 percent over 1925. The average price paid for butterfat was 45 cents per pound. Approximately 8,d50 farmers were served by the creameries and the value of the butterfat purchased amounted to §650,000. .AMERICAN AND HIS FIANCEE FOUND DEAD Paris the bodies of Julian Meredith, of Buffalo, N. Y., and his fiancee, Miss Marion Roberts, a New York pianist, were found in an automobile near Rambouillet to day. They had been shot to death. A pistol was clenched in Meredith’s hand. Meredith had 6,400 francs and a diamond valued at 20,000 francs in his pockets, eliminating the possibility that the crime was committed by robbers. The police are working on the theory of mur der and suicide. Sub • ’ ..ord, $1.50 for 12 iuv.i.Liis ...I au v pßa*..

Mr. Schiighter said he had no doubt but that the slain missionary was his nephew as he was stationed at the point mention ed in the dispatches, that his first details as to his family tallied per fectly.

Pontiac, Mich., April —The re cent removal of the Pontiac Six production machinery from the Oakland factory to the new $lO,- 200,000 Pcntiac plant was a vivid illustration of the length to which efficiency has been developed in the automotive industry. Though 375 large machines had to be dis ;onnccted, hauled almost a mile to heir new locations, and re-installed there the move was accomplished without the slightest interruption >f production, either of Oakland Six or of Pontiac Sixes. Until the completion of the new Pontiac plant, the Pontiac Six was manufactured in the Oakland fac tory, where it was born little more than a year ago. Almost 100,- 000 Pontiac Sixes were produced in the Oakland plant. However, as a demand for the Pontiac increased, more and more space was required for the machinery to manufacture it, as well as to meet Oakland’s own increasing demand. So thoroughly did Oakland and Pontiac production machinery fill the Oakland factory that a visitor would have thought it impossible to extricate a single machine with out shutting down the entire plant. Scientific planning, however, en abled engineers to carry out their huge task without interfering with the production schedules of either car. When the date for the move was set, A. A. Miller of the Mainten ance department carefully plotted every detail of the move in ad vance. He prepared charts listing every machine ar.d stating its spe cifications, so that proper facil ities might be provided to handle each unit. He ascertained from the foreman in various produ* tion de partments that each had sufficient stock on to supply the assembly lines 'while the move was in pro gress. From the tariff department he obtained freight cars, a loco motive, and a clear track from the Oakland plant siding to the cover ed spur within the Pontiac plant. Three crews of six men eacl* were appointed for the day shift, and three more for the night. Each man was instructed just what to do, so that no time would be lost in duplicated motion when the ac tual move started. Tractors, hoists, and specially designed “dollies” on which to tundle the hugh machines were ready far in advance. Then with every preparation complete, the movers awaited the signal to start. When that signal arrived, no time was wasted in ceremony. First an electrician cut the wires of the first machine slated to go. Then a p'pefitter disconnected water and ! oil lines of that unit. Almost be fore the wondering operator could grasp what was going on, his ma chine was jacked up onto the wait ing dolly and towed off by a trac tor to the waiting flat cars. The first intimation some of the opera tors received that the move was under way was the sudden stopping of their machines in midoperation as electricians snipped the wires. Loading of freight cars went on rapidly, with three crews working. The short haul to the new plant, and re-installation of the machines here, completed the job. This was mparatively simple, clue to ade quate space and lighting, the pres ence of facilities for handling the heavy equipment. Removal from the Oakland plant grew easier as it progressed, for the crews operat ed inward from tthe edges, con stantly gaining space in which to work. Two days’ work proved that the crews could keep well ahead of the schedule laid down for them, at the end of that time they had mov- ! cd eleven carloads, totaling 440 i tons —the amount of work prescrib ed for 90 hours instead of 48. Including in the moving job is a re-arrangement of machinery in s he Oakland plant itself. One of these units, a big milling machine, weighs 55 tons. The moving crews 1 prefer large machines to small 1 i ones, explaining that the satisfac- j tion of seeing a big hole compen- i sates for the effort involved in creating that space. i t i Today the 0 75 machines uprooted ‘ from the Oakland factory are per forming their accustomed opera- ! tions in the new Pontiac plant, and there are hundreds of new ma chines, necessitated by the vastly- j increased Pontiac Six demand, to help them.
