Sugar as sugar move urged by 411th assembly
The 411th General Assembly urged the Department of Agriculture in Washington to define torn sugar as sugar and not dextrine in pure food rules. Senator Van Alstine of Gilmore City notes the move could expand the corn sugar market, boost corn grind by 100 million bushels, and help surplus, echoing goals of the McNary Haugen bill. The collation of fish relief shows state efforts against soft fish and large-scale removal of buffalo and carp from lakes, with revenue directed to hatcheries. 68,000 pounds gar fish were removed from Spirit Lake and fed to hogs, while 900,000 pounds of buffalo and carp were netted overall.
