MILK TO RISE TO 15 CENTS QT., BUYING BASIS IS BUTTERFAT Py WIUMAH R. 8ANPPPN Milk distributors are to buy milk from "producers oh a" butter tat basis, beeinnin June 1. and Richmond con

sumers, are tp pay 15 cents per quart and $ cents per pint, front thjit date. This vwaa the outcome oi a "meeting

held at the court house, on Wednesday night Heretolore city dalryinen have been buying milk, egirdles4 qI butter, fat gonjent, aj ftfjaj prjca per 100 pounds. ; Farmers are now paid $2.85 at the farm and $3.25 per hundred delivered at the "dairies. tHe-Hevr hasta Tt U estimjita that Uw average pfrice will be 3.6Q delivered, at the new eummr soheduSe. " This arrangement does not suit the majority of the farmers. They" say there is no profit at such a price.; that they have ben working to pay feed bills and are entitled to & fair

living price. Most flj the men at last

night's meeting favor flat bulk rates, Will Trx Jt ?l8ty Pay

It was finally agreed that the farm

ers wpuld test out the new plan for 60 ' days',' at" the1 4nd of which T.hey could better tell Just what had hap

pened to them.' Milk retailers asserted that the but

ter fat basis was the proper Wy to buv: that the farmer thus received the

real value of his milk: Milk' from" dif

ferent cows and farms varied in val

ue, and on the butter fat schedule, each got what was coming to him, the nrice lowering or advancing 90 cepta

per 100 pounds'ot milk '"for each" "per cent of butter fat contained'. The meeting was in session from

8:30 to H o'clock and there were

nearly 100" " farmers ;and" dafrymen

present. MUk Producers to Organize

Toward the cloift of the "meeting it was suggested that milk farmers

should organise, get together and get acquainted, so that milk problems may

De aiscussea in a proaa way. Georee KemDer ' was selected as

Dresident and C. D. Thotnason, of

Richmond, secretary. Mr. Thotaa'son requests all who sell milk to send him name, post office and rural route address, so that a list may be compiled

of Wayne county milk farmers. Decide to Hold Wool Of County; Bayers are Shy.

Of Present Conditions

A joint meeting of the Wool Pool committee, and of Wayne County Farm

Federation directors, was held at

County Agent Murphy's office on Wed

nesday night. Mr. Murphy reported

that at present there is no acceptable cash market for wool, and that the sixth district wool pool, represented

by the various county agents, in ses

felon at Muncie last Saturday night, did

not receive a single bid ' f Or outright

cash purchase of their wools. The buyers present represented commission firms, who would deal directly with

manufacturing buyers, when the mar

ket looked favorable, and in the mean

while would store and hold the wool.

Fears and Campbell, of Frankfort

Indiana, directly connected with Le

land & Adams, largest American wool buyers, offered to take in the wool on cnosignment and to advance 38

cents per pound until sold, at eight per cent interest. The firm would furnish bags, pay freight bills, to be

charged against the wool, and properly grade and assort, so that each individual parcel will net the shipper according to quality. This was the best offer. Theodore Davis, president of the county federation, remarked: "It looks as if the farmer would have to learn to hold his stuff until the market suited him, and I know of no better time to start doing this than right now. We

should hold our wool." This idea preailed and Mr. Murphy Is to get quota:

tions on wool sacks and twine, and is

to order came for members, they to

designate number of sacks and pounds wanted, remitting tbe cash with orders. - Wool sacks are seven feet tall by thfee and one-half feet wide. It is necessary that wool be stored'in a dry place, should be dry when sacked, as moisture, while adding to weight will cause mould, if held long. All these details are looked after by buyers and commission firms. At the close, of the wool debate the federation directors transacted routine business nnd adjourned.

The bats around here are pretty well cleaned up." The capacity of the' elevator at Pershing is 22,000 bushels. The building is now being wired for electricity and an electric feed grinder will be Installed later. The farm federation is an active "going concern" in Jackson township: Marshall F.
