...Northern Illinois were last week seeking an injunction against the licensing provisions of a district milk marketing agreement which Secretary of Agriculture Wallace had drawn up and a majority of the distributors in the area had signed. This agreement fixed the minimum retail price at 10? per quart beginning Aug. 1. Dealers selling milk at less were made liable to revocation of their Federal licenses and subject to a fine of $1,000 a day. The Independent Dealers objected to the 10? minimum price on the ground that it allowed no differential between the price of delivered milk and milk...
...acre farm the tithe costs as much as five workers are paid now!" In Kent alone last week 600 farmers were specifically menaced by actions to seize their livestock.

Last week for the first time an aristocrat popped up among England's tithe-embattled farmers.

He was elected vice president of the International World Police created in Chicago last fortnight (TIME, Aug...
...great exchanges of the U. S. last week lacked natural stimulants. On the Chicago Board of Trade the energy building grains, limited not only to 4? and 5? daily fluctuations, but also forbidden (by a rule good until Aug. 15) to fall below their July 31 closing levels, floundered ineffectually. September wheat meandered between a top of $1.02 and the stated minimum, 92⅛?. September corn wandered between 57? and its stated minimum, 49⅜?. September pig bellies swelled up occasionally to $7 but flopped back on their minimum, $6.50. From similar listlessness, begotten partly by regulation, Manhattan...
