V Dairy Products are First in Farm Income Yield Ccw Takes lead as Dollar Producer fcr the First Time Cotton and Grain Drop 70 Per Cent. Washington, Febr. 27. The hum ble cow has become the queen of American agriculture. She has risen to the head of the farm income dynasty which famous dollar producers of the past cotton, wheat and live stock successively ruled as king. Completing a classification of farm inccme, the bureau of agricultural economics reported today that the products of the cow for the first time led all types of income, usurping the place held in recent years by cattle, hegs and sheep collectively. Dairy products accounted for ?1, 180,000,000 of farm income last year, although the figure marked a decline "of nearly 50 per cent from 1929, when it was $2,323,000,000. Live stock held second place, ac counting for $1,122,000,000 in in come against $2,807,000,000 in 1929 the sharpest decline of all type3 of farm income. Cotton accounted for only 397 mil lion dollars against $1,389,000,000 in 1929, a drop of 72 per cent. Grain fell 70 per cent from $1,288,000,000 to 391 million dollars.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 28. The pre diction of George W. O'Malley, speak er of the house, that reduced motor vehicle license fee3 would go Into effect before the end of thi3 week suf fered a setback today. The Stringfellow bill came back to the house today after the senate also had passed it, but with amendments. However, Homer Gruenther, senate secretary, said the bill as delivered to the house contained one amend ment which the senate did not ap prove or consider. Gruenther said the provision in question, which concerned truck regulation, had been added at the insistence of a senator, and that he probably vould call tho bill back to tho senate tomorrow, inform that body cf the amendment involved, and let the senate act on It. Excluding that difficulty, the bill 13 up for house approval of tho amendments tacked on by the sen ate. If the house approves of the changes the bill will go to the gov ernor. The chief difference is in pleasure car classifications. The house would set the scale of fees at $3 for pas senger cars weighing up to 2,700 pounds, $5 for cars weighing 2,700 to 3,800 pounds, and $8 for 3,800 pcund3 or over. The senate would lower tho first class weight and make the fee $3 for cars weighing up to 2,600 pound3. Other passenger car weight classes would remain as Eet by the house. World-Herald.
