  ust  Done to Stabilize

Dairy Prices

, [Concerted Action on'Part Of all Daifyn‘ien can Preserve this Industry from Further Demoralization

ET HAS-.been said that dairying is the
most profitable branch of the farming

‘ industry. :The statement is open to ques-
tion, but conceding that it is true, it cannot

. long remain the most profitable unless im-‘

mediate steps are taken by milk producers,
within and without 'the. ranks of organiza-
tions, to protect and preserve the business.
It is in no sense of the word a spirit of
pessimism which», prompts us at this time to
sound a word (if caution to those whose
daily living is, dependent upon. dairying.
We would mtuch prefer to declare that all
is well with the industry and that the fu-
ture teems with hope and prosperity. ~ But
none of the facts in the case will permit of
any such promise. ‘n‘The prices of dairy
products. haVe been tumbling at an alarm-
ing rate for many months back and the end
is not yet. It will be the purpose of this
article to briefly review the present condi-
tions, suggest what is in store for the fu-
ture and recommend some measures which
may be adopted to put the, dairy business
back 'on its feet- ‘ ~ ‘
. i The Whys of Lew Lairy Prices
1 The present stagnation in the market, for
. dairy products and the resultant low prices
are due to a'combination of circumstances.
Some of these could have been prevented by
wise foresight and courageous action on the
part of organized dairymcn.‘ Others were
the result of world-wide deflation, .over
which no mertal man has control» Snmmed

v up these causes are as follows:
1.’, Public opinion, reflected throughthe

' press and the dealers- in milk products, that.

prices were too high and must come .down.
’l‘his has resulted in general deflation 1n the

, prices or all food products. ~

A NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
MILK PRODUCERS

-" N CONSIDERATION of the facts set

forth in the accompanying article
“ the Business Farmer recommends
that state and national conferences be
held at once between representatives
of the organized dairy industry. A
business which represents an invest-
ment of nearly $3,000,000.000 aand
produces a product with an annual
value. of over one billion dollars
cannot aflord to sit idly by and see its
markets ruined and the cream of the
profits going to dairy manufacturers
and distributors. The adoption of
a. few well-defined policies in every
dairy state upon tarifi’s, time of breed-
ing, production economy, co-operative
marketing; education of the public
through advertising, etc., should help
considerably in reviving both the de-
mand and the prices on dairy pro-
duc‘ts.—Editor.

 

 

demand, lower prices inevitably follow.
During the last six months scores of con—
densaries have closed down, and “advice
from producing sections indicate that addi-
tional condensing plants may be closed soon
after the first of the year,” is the report of
the U. S. Bureau of Markets. ' ‘
. The average farmer little appreciates
the influence of the foreign demand upon
domestic prices of milk products. During
the war the export trade in condensed,
evaporated and: powdered milk reached
enorrhous proportions. For the year end-
ing June 30, 1914, the total exports of
condensed milk from this country were
only about 16 million pounds. These rose
in .1919 to 852 million pounds- In 1920

1102, the 1 problems confronting»

exports fell to less than 400 million pounds
and the total for 1921 will not exceed 275
million pounds or about a third of the
1919 exports. No intelligent man would
attempt to argue that the American pro—
ducer can lose a market for a half billion
pounds of manufactured milk without feel-
ing any effects. Nor does the export de-
mand show any signs of improvement. As
Europe gets back on‘ her feet agricultural-
ly her first attention is being given to the
replenishment of her dairy herds. She
found by bitter experience what it meant
to depend upon a foreign country for her

supply of nature’s most precious food and

she is leaving nothing undone to increase
her domestic supply .of dairy products.
The. American producer must make up his
mind that the foreign market developed
during the war will become less and less
attractive and that he must find other
channels for his surplus milk.
Higher Tariff Needed

The recovery of the European dairy in-
dustry is at once apparent through an ex-
amination of the imports of cheese and
butter. Back in pre—War days this coun-
try imported 40 to 50 million pounds of
cheese annually. In 1919 the imports had
dropped to about ten million pounds, but
for the year ending June 30, 1921, they in-
creased again to 20 million pounds and are
still on the upgrade. Before the war we
imported about 7 million pounds of butter
annually. By 1916 this had dropped to
about 700,000 pounds- which increased in.
1919 to nearly ten million pounds, and
in 1920 to about thirty-five million pounds,
but dropped again to approximately/17
million pounds in 1921. During the past
few months the big eastern butter markets
have felt keenly the effects of these impor-
tations and the U. S. Bureau of Markets

‘ ascribes part of the reason for
the declining butter prices to
the pressure of imports.

Speaking of the effect of im-
ports in domestic prices, Mr. T.
R. Pirtle, dairy statistician of
the Department of Agriculture,
says:

“Surprise shipments arriving on
a. market have much effect. A sur-
prise shipment was evidenced last
year (1920) when about 5 million
pounds of butter arrived in New
York from Denmark. The market
went off about 8 cents and it took
a week for it to climb up again.
Again a. single importation of
Roquefort cheese was followed by a
drop of from $0 cents to 75 cents.

Farmers who believe in the
principle ,of protection should "
Work persistently through their
' organizations to secure the tariff
which they are fighting for. .

"‘ States, between 1910 and 1920
was 3700 per farm, accordingto fig-
ures compiled by the United Startgs

same figures show that the average
investment in land‘vand tools and

interest on ,this investment at 5 per
cent yielded the. farmers $800 per
farm. This together with the‘labor
income of 8700 gave thefarmers an
averagelnet income of $1,600 ,per
year. In addition to this cash return

the home. In making the calcula-
tions a fair wage for the other men}—
bers of the family was taken out
leaving the figures to show just what
the farmer himself made.
'- Many farmers of Michigan, partic-
ularly those. settling the northern
part of the lever peninsula and the
upper-peninsula do not have as large
investments in their farms. Records
secured on 1,500 Michigan farms for
one or more years between 1910 and
1920 show that the average invest-
ment per farm was $7,500 and the
average net income from the farms
was $660. Deducting interest at 5
per cent on the capital of $7,600, or
$375, leaves $285 as the return
which the ‘farmer receives for his
labor. Besides he has his house to
live in and the produce raised on
the term but consumed in the home.
In spite of the lowsprices and ad-
verse conditions, twenty—three dairy
farmers in Monroe and . Wayne
counties having an average invest-
. ment of $35,000 were found to have
made 6 per cent on their investment
last year, according to figures de-
termined by the Farm Management
department of the M. A. C.——C. E.
Johnson, M. A. C. Correspondent.

profit of $17,947.70, besides the
greater benefits of giving the boys

such as may be utilized as a part of the school, V
home or farm equipment. The practical side of r ,’
this work is well illustrated by the work of the. ~
boys in the Gdodrich school of Genesee county.
They built a motor bus body, which is being used
in transporting pupils, installed shower baths in
the school house, built. seats, tables and black-
boards, and turned out hall trees, tables, book
troughs, laboratory cases and sewing tables. They
built a refrigerator in the cold air flue, graded
and seeded the lawn, planted shrubbery and made
files for the office. The girls of the Goodrich
school are doing work that is just as utilitarian}
in [its nature, such as serving hot lunches, mak-
ing garments and learning some of the lessons
involved in the economics of a household. They

doing work of like nature. The main idea is to ‘

The Michigan Bean

N THE HOPES of regaining some of the

prestige which the Michigan bean lost
during the war, and increasing the produc-
tion, the Michigan Bean Jobbers’ Ass’n has
named a committee from among its own mem-
bers and men representative of agriculture to
study and report upon the problem.

Michiganwas once the proud leader of all
the states in the production of dry edible
beans. For years her annual production ran
between four and five million bushels. “With

 

a soil and a climate remarkably adapted to .

the most successful cultivation of the crop,
our farmers raised beans year in and year

’out and made, money,—-a littlep—ffom the

venture. And so far as quality went Michi-
gan beans also took the lead. For a long
period of time the Michigan prime navy
bean commanded a premium over the beans
of other states, and was preferred by fastidP

T ions canners and consumers to the beans of
s all other varieties and localities.

,VEN AS Nerofiddled while Rome burned
certain interests in the United States are
jazzing and hesitating while American agn-
cultgre is slowly succumbing to the forces
«greed, profiteering and economic maladjust-
ment. The glare of leaping flames upon the
walls of his portico told Nero that his» orders

had been obeyed. No less mistakable are the r
signs that agriculture is suffering the penal-

ties of an antiquated marketing and financial
system and must receive help soon if it is to
recover. ' -

The amazing part. of this modern business
drama is that, althdugh big business and polit-
ical interests are fully cognizant of what is.
taking place they are opposing every wprth
while eflfort to apply the necessary remedies.
The partisan press and staid commerce journ-
als admit in a chorus thatagriculture is in a
bad way and that all other business suffers
accordingly but when it is proposed to adopt

legislative measures which will at least al- -

leviate the condition, they hold up their hands
in holy horror. It is no uncommon thing to
pick up an ultra-conservative journal and
read in one column an editorial deploring the
plight of the farmer, and in another a diatribe
against the agricultural bloc and legislative
relief measures. ' '

and admittedly dependent upon agricultural
prosperity that any move. to imprOVe the lat-

times whether those who profess to believe in
the importance of agriculture as the greatest
national asset are not hypocrites and talking
for eifwt. Or do they think that the farmer,
having worked out his own, salvation so many
times in the past, can do so again without the
helping hand of the government and the finam
dial powers that be?

Whathas been proposed by way of legisla-
tion. to help the farmer are perfectly logical
and effectual palliatives the use of which will
in no wise endimger the interests » of other
pc0ple A nation united at this time to re-

store farming as it was to destroy militarism '

could soon have the wheels of indus r hum-
ming again throughout the lengt  and
breadth of the land. But what"vgith' petty
bick‘érings, the threats of the financial cap-
tains, the unfriendliness of reactionary polit-
ical leaders, and the general nation-wide
apathy, agricultural recovery has a long and
painful way ahead of it. Fiddle, away. But
leave some strings for the funeral march.

small chance. of him finding

rabbits were completely buried
under their windfalls and shelters,“
and lay quietly in their ,warm
nests. Nothing had moved dur-
ing the hours of the storm.
There were no trails of living things
for him to, follow, and in places he
sank to his shoulders in the soft
snow. He made his way' to the
creek. It ,was no longer the creek

.feet, stretched himself, and sniffed
of the dead rabbit. But he did' not
eat. To Miki's consternation he
rolled himself round and round in
his nest of sand and went to sleep

' again. ‘

The next dayhat about the same
time, Neewa roused himself once

- returned to '

' still refused to eat the rabbit; Again

it was Nature telling him that he)

' must not disturb the pine needles

and dry - bark with which he had
padded 'his stomach and intestines_
And he wentto sleep again. He did
not get up after that.

Day followed day, and, growing

lonelier as the winter deepened, M1-

ki hunted alone. Allthrough Nov-
ember he came back -each night and
slept with’Neewa. And Neewa was

as if dead, except that his body was

warm, and he breathed, and made
little sounds now and then in his
throat. But this did not satisfy the
great yearning that was becoming
more and more insistent in Miki’s
soul, the overwhelming desire for
company, for a brotherhood on the
trail. He loved Neewa. Through
the first long weeks of winter he
him faithfully; he
brought him meat. He was filled
with a strange grief—even greater
than if Neewa had been dead. For
Miki knew that he was alive, and he
could not account for the thing that
had happened. Death he would
have understood, and from death he
would have gone away—for good.
So it came that one night, having
hunted _.far, Miki remained away
from the den for the first time, and ,,

third night hewent away; and then

came the time—inevitable as the ,
coming and going of the moon and,
stars—when understanding at last

' broke its way through his hope and ‘

his fear, and something told him ‘
that Neewa would never again travel
with him as through those glorious
days of old, when shoulder to should-
er they had faced together the com— 1
edies and-tragedies of life in a world
that was no longer soft and green

and warm with a golden sun, but "

white, and still, and
death.

Neewa did not know when, Miki,
went away from the den for thelast
time. And yet it may be that even
in his slumber the Beneficent Spirit
may have whispered that Miki-was
going, for there were restlessness
and disquiet in Neewa’s dreamland
for many days thereafter.

“Be quiet—and sleep!" the Spirit
may have whispered. “The winter is
long. The rivers are black and chill,
the lakes are covered with floors of
ice and the waterfalls are frozen like
great White giants. Sleep! For
Miki must go his way, just as the
waters of the streams must go their
way to the sea. For he is Dog. And
you are Bear. Sleep!”

,When‘a person is killed while

hunting and the facts do not clearly
reveal the cause of the accident, an
inquest is usually held to determine
how such person met his death. It
theshooting was purely accidental
and unavoidable the person respon-
sible for the killing is declared in-
nocent. If the evidence shows that
the accident was caused through ne-;
gligence and might have been pre-
vented, the person may be held for
involuntary manslaughter. If the
killing Was done in the heat of anger
and not premeditated 'it might be
classied as voluntary manslaughter
or second or third degree murder.
If the facts show that the killing
was premeditated and done in. cold
blood, it would bemurder in the first
degree._ There are no set rules for
fliing the responsibility and punish-
ment-fer accidental shooting. It is
up to a jury to determine the amount
of negligence or lack of it‘which
contributed to the accident, and in
case of conviction the extent of pun-
ishment is largely, ‘discretionary
with the presiding judge. The pen-

DISHONEST AGENTS

I have noticed different complaints
about lighting plants in your papers. Has
an agent any right to come around the
country an lie and doycrook’ed weak to
get a man take a. plant, only to find

after it has been installed with a lot of .

damage to the house that it won't work?
Ham't a man any protection from these
fellows, or must he swallow everything
they say and pay the company the full
amount for something that doesn't work?
Now you say that is a responsible com-
pany. How long would it take them to
find out what this agent was doing, and
can him and do what was right on the
start I am a reader of your paper and
like it very much and glad to see that
you publish these letters.

.COLORADO HOMESTEADS'

Can you tell me anything about the
homesteads in Colorado, also about the,
climate in the northern part. Do people
do good there raising wheat?‘ My hus-

band’s health -is bad and he has been ,

advised to go there. Can you tell me
anything about Moflat couniy?—Reader.
_On July I, 1919, there were ap-
proximawa 10,000,000 acres of
goverrlment’ land in Colorado open
to entry under the homestead or,
other public land laws. Of this total
a considerable acreage lies at alti-
tudes too high for crop cultivation
or is too rough for plowing, and
much of it is from 35 to 85 miles
from railroads. Under present cone
ditiOns lands of this character' are
chiefly favorable for/the live stock
industry, but ’the soil is good J and
under special effort'by intensive dry
farming methods can be made to.
yield abundantly. ProsDective hom’e- '
steaders should bear in mind that
the public lands in Colorado have
been thoroughly searched by settlers)
and that the best lands‘reasonably »
close to markets are gone. Detailed
information concerning the various
tracts yet available may be had from
the land oiiice in the district in
which the land is situated. Moflat
county is in the extreme northwest-
em corner of Colorado in a latitude
about 100 miles south of .Detroit,
Mich. Its extreme length is about
91 miles and width about 55 miles,
containing over three million acres,
being the second largest 'county in
the state. The altitude ishigh, vary-x
ing from 5,400 feet to about 7,600.
The rainfal varies from 13 to 20
inches. The imate is comparative-
ly mild, though the winters are some,
what long, with moderately. heavy
rainfall. Thewprincipal crops are.

_ alfalfa, timothy, alsike,‘ wild “hay, ’

small grains, forages, potatoes and-
garden vegetables. Further infor-
mation about this county may be

haps the unpoken, sometimes the un- 
"conscious, ,wish of every homelover.

Each home has its physio~ influ-
ence or atmosphere. Some ,rooms'
Just get on yourenerves, perhaps you -
can't just say why, in other rooms
you love to sit down with your sew-
ing and are quite at home and at

W. Post says in his Postnm‘adver-
tisement. ‘- ~‘ .

.Y our nerves, health and _',c'omfort
are to a certain extent dependent on
your environment. It is an acknowr
ledged fact among scientists that
colors have an effect_on the brain;
some irritate and antagonize, others
soothe and have a quieting, rest-
ful effect.

How to obtain the desired result
——that is the question and truly it
is not as much a matter of, money
as of good taste which quality comes
largely thru study and observation
and may certainly in all of us, be,
cultivated. I A

Here is one general rule for plan-
ning a room—consider first your
background, that is, your floor, walls
and ceiling. These should be almost
if not altogether plain in, effect, the
floor representing the darkest shade,
the walls lighter in tone and the
ceiling a mere tint, an echo of the
general tone of the walls. Plain
floor coverings show every thread or
bit of lint and are hard to keep
clean but one can choose an allover
effect in a quiet dark tone with no
striking design, against which your
furniture may stand out in pleasing
contrast.

In nature we walk upon the
brown earth or the green sod. We
do not tread upon birds, trees, flow-
ers or woolly dogs. , _

They are simply the variations in
the landscape—the softer and more
inconspicuous our walls are the bet-
ter will our pictures and drapes and
curtains look. They may bring in
the lighter gayer tones that make
a room cozy and relieve from the
otherwise plain effect.

I know a handsome house where
the livingroom walls are covered
with a paper showing over and over
again a. lion rampant done in
brown. When I go in my mind
runs on this verse—

“The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting forea crown

Up jumped the Unicorn

And knocked the Lion, down.”

I  ' EAR CHILDREN:
V L _ ‘flnished' reading). story about

Scartainly had a“: good

I have just

T‘.‘ how a horse balances himself.
I am sure you will be interested so
I am going to ~tell“you about it.

The writer of the story was visit-
ing a farmer friend and one day

they were talking about horses when

the farmer remarked that one of his

conspa grown,ma‘n, used an over-6

check» rein on his horses, but,
through, an accident, was "cured of
the habit.  >

“We were driving at a lively
trot,” he said. “with the horse’s head
sharply reined up, when suddenly
he stumbled and fell to his knees.
’The' horse naturally tried to use his
rained-up head'and neck to balance
himself. The rein snapped in two
places and was thrown into the road
many feet ahead. It hit the ground
with a thump that showed some-
thing of how hard the poor creature
had tried to keep himself from fall-
ing.‘ He was not seriously hurt, but
he might/have. been, and so might
we"! ‘ . k

The writer said he always knew
that a horse needs to, use the mus-
cles of his neck in pulling a load
but had no 'idea of higfldusing his
neck as a balancing-pole.

“Just as you throw out one or
both of your arms when you are

about to fall," the. farmer explained. '

“And did you know that a fox bal-
ances himself with his tail in run-
ning, and a squirrel with his in
climbing? Nature made no mistake
in furnishing'them with their long,
bushy tails, nor the horse with a
‘neck which he can move freely in
all directions when man doesn’t in-
terfere with its movement." -—-

.It is the great day—tho greatest
__day .for most of .us,» because it brings
. good "chéerra good time, good din-
ners an’ meet of all, it‘ is the time
when 01' Santa. Claus makes his year:
ly visits—é-when we’yboysr have- to go
to bed early an’ ‘keep'jest awiu'b

not’be disturbed while "he is fillin’

find ’em in the mornin’ first thing
when we get out of- our warm beds.
Ah, you know what-a grand thingit

I is to find the things Santa Clausshas

left fer us while we"-were' sleepin'
an’ dreamin’ , of him. An’ some
times you know, we.wonder whether
he comes with his reindeer, as he
used to come,ror whether reindeer
are a little slow for him now. An"
maybe he comes in an automobile or
, perhaps_ in that swiftest of all ma-
chines, a flyin’ machine. or course
e. its nice an,’ pleasant to think about
the different ways he might come,
but really it doesn't make much dif-
ference to us how lie "travels only
so he gets" here, with the » pretty
things we have wanted. sn', gets here
on t me. _ -
at’s that! Do I bear some of

the kiddies sayin' there isn’t any
Santa Claus! Why what an idea!
No Santa Clsusi! “Then what was
Christmas made for? -
‘Now. my‘dear little, boys an' girls
I’mxjest goin’ .to tell you somethln'
I know! » There is a really an’ truly
Santa Claus!! Don't you ever let
any one make you think different!
If there was no Santa Claus you
would not get all the'jnlce'things
you do get at, Christmas time. Even
if Santa Can’t come' to your'house
himself-J—ll.’ some one else gives you

things for Christmas, *Santa Claus
tells the folks to do it or he sends
the nice presents by some one else
40 they can have the pleasure of
glviu’ ’em an’he gets jest as much
pleasureout of it as though he
brought them him self.’ ’

Why I wouldn’t be afraid to wager
most anything that if it weren’t for

- .01' Santa, th'ere, wouldn’t have been

a single present given ~nor received,
this Christmas nor any other Christ-
mas since the world"'Was made. The
idea that‘ther-e is no Santa Claus is
preposterous vau’ folks are wicked

Again I tell you there is a really"

in the Mqrgan and Wright building,
‘ where the 1921 show was held. The

exerted every effort to make the 1922
exhibition the_‘“best ever” and those
that attend will see the greatest c-ol—‘

on the market during the past year.
You better make arrangements to
attend. Although you may not in-
tend to purchase during the next

and you will say; “I would not have
missed it if my expenses had been
double what they were.” Farm

man take care of things and you

 F. M. Albion. Mich. ’ '

Your hogs are no doubt aflected

_with pulmonary tuberculosis which

is evidenced by a dry, short, sup-
pressed cough and probably by some
diliiculty in breathing. The cough
usually becomes more aggravated,
and the. animals become weak and
thin and have a rough coat. Where
tuberculosis i suspected in a large

' herd either the intradorm’al or oph-

thalmic test may be employed to
find out positively whether the
disease is tuberculosis or not. Cura-
tive treatment is of no value in tu-
berculosis in swine. , The only
rational method“ is to r sell the af-
fected swine subject to -tho‘ post-
mortem inspection findings. In this
way some value will be obtained by
the original owner, there will be no
loss to the packer, and no danger to
the consumer.

 

cow Pox

Would you advise me about my cow?
She has great blisters on her teats, some-
times loWer half the teat, and are full
of yellow pus -and water. Could you-
tell me what would cause this and what
to do for her? She has fallen ofl in
flow of milkr—A Reader, Elmira, Mich.

The most important point as re-
gards the treatment of this disease
in cows is the observation of clean-
liness and gentle manipulation of
the teat in milking. If the teat or
udder contains a great number of
vesicles a milking tube should be
used. Scab formation can be hast-
ened by touching the sore with s

manganato. If extensivé ceration
occurs the parts are to be‘painted
after milking with a mixture of one
part tincture iodin and three parts
tincture benzoin compound. The
number of cases in an outbreak can

milked last, thus avoiding direct
transmission of the disease.

. _ l
‘ NEW YEAR begins with a
 badly mixed industrial and fl-
‘  " nancial situation in all parts of
’ ‘ the country. _ .
active retail trade is noted and t e
wholesale and jabbing business is
' busy with plans for the trade of. the
,‘lcoming year; in the southern part
of the country conditions are not, as
encouraging as they are above Mason
8: Dixon’s line. The south is euirer-
' ing from dry weather and from the '
. small attendance of tourists Kat
southern summer resorts. The cat:
’ ton market is somewhat better than
on this date last month; much talk
has been heard, recently, a :utlim-
- iting next year's cotton acreage but ‘
r ’ .. it‘ is quite likely to be mostly talk.
' Many basic products such as hides,
wool, lumber, iron and steel are
gradually gaining in selling value.
Domestic railroads have placed ord—
' ers for 600,000 tons of steel rai1s*
with the mills and it is rumored that
orders will soon be forthcoming for
500,000 tons. more. The entire
metal list is active, the demand for
tin plate, zinc and‘copper being in
' excess of the output. The demand
, for all grades of wdol is particularly-
‘ 7 .active, the'prices paid in the govern-
“ .ment wool auction, the other day,
“ ~was 20 to 30 per cent higher than
- those. paid on the same date last
" month.
The demand for .woolen goods of
all kinds is reported to-be extreme-
ly active, the cold weather having
something to do with the demand for
heavy clothing, shoes, overshoes and
robbers. Retail prices for footwear
are rapidly working toward a fair
price basis.
The financial situation has many
peculiar phases, some of them ,the
result of discouraging inventories
and lack of money to do business
'with {by' firms that have extended
their business farther than was ad-
..visable. 1 Loan money is said to be
plentiful in all parts of the country
but banks are inclined to investi—
gate more carefully than formerly
the reputation of the borrower. All
legitimate bond issues are in active -
demand and the outlook favors
greater activity as the winter wanes
and the spring approaches. Opera-
tions on the New .York stock ex-
change are, of late, limited to pro-
fessionals; recent discoveries,‘ in
connection with brokerage methods
tends to impair confidence in many,
socalled business houses and this
uneasiness and uncertainty tends to
' keep the public out of the market.
Call money is going at the lowest
level known this season and short-
term borrowers are able to get all
the funds they need for 4 and 4 1‘4
 per cent interest. The bank clear-
" lugs for the week were $6,716,150,-
’ 000.

to only 1—2c in new corn at Detroit.
Heavy selling ruled the market the
early part, of the week but any
weakness in prices immediately
brought out buyers. Demand was

,mostly confined to the local‘ ‘trade

although foreigners were in evi-
dence and export. salesr‘were good
at seaboard pOints. Receipts were
fair amounting to 1,719 cars at Chi—
cago compared with 1,822 the cor—
responding week a year ago. Any
indication of lower prices brought a

decrease in offerings as farmers
were inclined to feel that prices
were too low already. Many deal-_

ers are of the same opinion and they ‘

look 'for prices to go higher soon.

. No doubt the current week’s market
'will show more activity than last

BUTTER MARKET “(EAR
The weakness which developed in
the butter markets several weeks
ago persists and prices continue to
sag. The markets are paying the _
penalty of over-production, under-
consumption ‘ and importations.
Nor is there little hope-tor immedi—
ate improvement. Facts recently
submitted before the Senate Finance
committee show that Denmark is
preparing to flood this country with
her surplus dairy products and not
so very long ago a trainload of butter
was received at San Francisco from
_ Australia and transported across
I .‘ l . country to the eastern markets. So‘
~ long as these imports keep up the
American market cannot recover. .A,t
the same time prices are believed to
be nearbottom. Holders of storage-
butter cannot afford to sell at cur— ,
rent prices and offerings from that
,. source should grow lees until the
' “market is in a more healthy. condi- .
