It looks as if Rensselaer grocerymen would have to raise the price of butter or else all the best buttermakers hereabouts will quit making butter and go to selling their cream. The local cream station is paying 30 cents per pound for cream at present, and at this price there will be little butter made unless the price for that product is raised five to ten cents per pound.
