FARMERS TELL WHY BUTTER IS SCARCE

Agriculturists Discuss This Momentous Question at Meeting Saturday.

CROP CONDITIONS FAIR.

WET 8PRING WEATHER HAS GREATLY RETARDED FARM WORK INDICATIONS POINT TO A GOOD FRUIT CROP.

Reasons that were conclusive to the farmers, but will not fford much satlefaction to the city resident, vho likes "pure country'' butter on his pancakes but objects to paying the high prices charged locally, as to the cause of the prevailing prices, were advanced at the meeting of the Wayne County Horticultural society Saturday afternoon. Members of the organization claimed the retail price of butter is high because of the season of the year. It was asserted the cows no longer relish dry foods and pastures have just begun to advance and grazing has not been sufficient as to the sole food. Mention was not mad of the fact that these same conditions eiist in other counties but the price of butter Is materially lower than in Wayne. Agitation of the milk question was declared to have been the most effectiTe cause of the scarcity of butter and consequent advance of price. The assertion was made that the public discussions and declarations attacking the quality of the milk retailed in Richmond caused a large number of farmers to fear some probable prosecution, if they sold milk in the city. Others became greatly incensed at the .statements of physicians and out of their disfavor found retalHation in disposing of their milk to creameries or shipping it to larger cities. A large number of farmers actually refused to sell milk for use in Richmond and made arrangements for its shipment to other cities. Crops Not Favorable. Reports on crop conditions made by members of the society were not the most faTorable. The wet spring weather has not been to the advantage of young clover from seed. Wheat and grass were said to be in splendid condition and are virtually out of danger unless late spring frosts prove damaging. The continued showers have delayed spring plowing and some of the farm field work. No oats have been sown and but few attempts made to prepare the soil. Plenty of Fruit. Caleb King, Wallace Reynolds, Captain Lough, Thomas Elleman and Nathan Garwood spoke on the condition

of fruits. It was asserted there is no indioatlon of a dearth of bloom in any of the tree fruits or of the small fruits as trees and bushes are well laden with fruit buds that are almost ready to bloom. Fears of a too profuse blossoming were expressed as occasionally It results In a lack of fruit setting. As there was a scarcity of fruit last year the trees are in line condition to yield abundantly. Nathan. Garwood advocated the Bordeaux mixture for spraying before bloom tag time and an arsenic preparation afterward. The spraying that has been done will not prove very effective because of the rains. Four samples of corn were exhibited by T. F. Swain consisting of one ear from each of the four bushels that were accorded the $25 premium at the Iowa Agricultural Fair and grown by J. C Frame of Henry County Iowa. To Wallace Reynolds was entrusted the "yellow dent" premium corn to plant In the effort to secure enough seed corn for distribution in this vicinity. The meeting concluded with an address on "Cause and Effect" by the Rev. J. O. Campbell or the success and failure of life. The-address was very Interesting. Everyone was urged to lead a life that will prove helpful to other.

Are You Sick? Much sickness is due to a weak nervous .system. Yours mav be. If it is, you cannot get well until rou restore nerve strength Your nervous system is nature's power house; the organs of your body get their power from it. If the power is not there, the action of the organs is weak, and disease (sickness) follows. Dr. Miles' Nervine cures 'the sick because it soothes the irritated and tired nerves and gives the system a chance to recuperate. Try it, and see if you do not quickly feel its beneficial effect. "I vas given up to die by a leadIn doctor. Got one of Dr. Miles books and found that Dr. Miles' Nervine fit my rase. From the very first dose I took I sot better. I am better now than I have oren for years, and do all my own work on the farm. That's what Dr. Miles' Nervine has done for me, and I am glad to recommend it to others." JOHN JAMBS. Blverton. Nebr.
