the Japanese have cut the cables con-
Meeting Japan and Corea.
The object Is to prevent of the
operations Of the Japanese reaching

E. J. Seely, a Prominent Val.
ley Creamery Man Dis
cuSSeS Conditions

r. j. Seely, one of the leading
creamery men of Oregon, is in the
city. Mr.. Seely was superintendent
of the first creamery started in Linn
county, oxer nine years ago, and has
been actively engaged in the business
ever since. He is owner of the Albany
Butter & Produce creamery at the
present time. and is part owner of the
new milk condensing plant now under
construction at North Bend, Coos
county.
In speaking Of the dairy and cream
cry industries he said: THE supply
OF cream this spring is short of what
1t has been in former years. This is
due in part to the late, cold spring.
but there are other causes. The farm
ers have sold off a great many cows,
although the price of butter fat has
been at the top notch for several
years. At the present time the price
oil butter is high, averaging the dairy
man about 221A cents a pound. The
price of wheat and hay has lessenej
the number of COWS and turned the at
tention of the farmers to raising such
products, as 1t is less work and al
most as remunerative as milking
cows. The general prosperity Of the
producing class is responsible for the
shortage of milk, and the creameries
are suffering, but they have no re-
course"
Mr.. Seely expects to spend part Of
the time in Coos county, but will con.
hnue to operate his Albany creamery.
