BUFFERS ARE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN

Houston, Tuesday, september ~.
The condition OF the butter market is one
which should appeal to the South Texas
farmer. Local johbers In buffers and cheese
Gent several kilograms today to houses IN
Kansas asking for buffers only to have the
orders turned down because they could not
be filled.
Creamery butter is today worth 2ols whole
sale at Elgn, H.. and predictions are made
that prices will 90 much higher. Texas but
ters are worth next to nothing because OF
their irfNyior quality, yet the very best OF
butter can be made in South Texas. There Is
no SPECULATION in this statement. There are
people living In and around Houston who
properly prepare their butter and tho result
Is that the year round they get top pricos-
prices equal to those obtained for the best
Eigin creamery Besides this there nre dairy
mel IN South Texas who ship In butter In
brick form which always commands the high
est market price. On the other hand their
neishbors, with the same facilities, too In
different to do the work properly. send to
market butter which brings them cents
pound while the good butter brings them 20
to IS cents the year round. little intelli-
ger effort on the part Of the South Texas
butter makers would put thousands Of dollars
In their pockets. because they would soon run
imrt rted buffers out OF the market and the
NOR ey now being sent to Illinois. Kansas and
other places would be kept at home.
