DEALERS REPORT
BUTTER SCARCITY
Extreme Heat and Drought
Are Responsible for the
Condition

Farmers who were in the city to-
day reported a scarcity Of fruits and
vegetables, and consequent high price
for the articles.
The potato crop this year has been
very unsatisfactory there being a
great many small potatoes in the mar
ket, and a comparatively small crop
of large potatoes. Dealers are asking
$3.50 to "a "a barrel for potatoes that
brought from $3.50 to 81 last year.
Southern peaches and watermel0ng are
bringing fancy prices, a crate of
peaches selling for from $3.50 10 81,
and watermelons from 5000 10 $500 a
carload. These prices are an increase
from forty TO fifty per cent. over last
year. There IS, howeyr, a plentiful
supply OF tomatoes, cabbaees onions
and cucumbers ON the market and
prices are normal.
Butter dealers say iheir receipts
from the sale of this table necessity,
have fallen Off nearly one half this
year as compared with the correspond
ing period 81 previous years The ex-
trme heat and drought is considered
responsible.
The farmer explains how this condi-
ton has come about more in detail.
The cattle throughout the West are
suffering from lack of water supply
and moro acutely from being deprived
lot the grass. which has become blister
lea and dried mp ON the plains and
mountain sides. So high has been The
temperature, too. that the animal heat
has not had opportunity to leave the
milk until 80 IS taken into the creamery
90 be- churned
A dealer explained that to make fine
butter the milk should be allowed to
FIRST lose all OF it's animal heat, and
then I'm it's coOled-Oif condition, before
1t has soured, the cream should be-
skinned After SEPARATION, while the
milk is sweet. the cream OF Itself
should be allowed to form It's own
lacidity preparatory to churning. Dur
ing the recent hot spell, however the
milk formed the acidity before oppor-
tunity was Afforded to skim the cream
While cream skinned from sour milk
will make butter IL will not produce
fine butter which requires the cream to
take on its acidity while separated;
SO that Il IS the finer grades OF butter
which are most affected. The meagre
supply Of milk, due to lack OF grass and
water. has naturally lessened the pro-
duction Of all butter and produced an
inferior quality as well.
But there is another aspect to the
1 butter question. During the hot days
, of midsummer, when more ice cream
Is eaten than at any other time, extra
supplies OF cream are needed to keep
lpaco with the demand for the popular
frozen product, which. consequently,
has a corresponding effect in reducing
1.-THE butter supply
According to a dealer, It is the finer
grades of butter which suffer from this
cause. too. for the reason ihat Il is
tho sweet cream which Is taken. which
would otherwise be allowed TO become
acid for butter making.
