has become quite a puzzling n as

seems to mean as much to the farmers
as the low price of cotton.

farmers adopt it and prevent the posi-

Plant and it May Not Resume
Operations.

Muscatine is in danger of losing its
chief industry. Last Saturday even
ing the Great Western Cereal com
panys plant in that city shut down be
cause of lack of orders, and its open
ing again is a question. 1t is said
that the shutdown may be for GO days,
six months, or for a much longer per-
iOd. 1t is generally believed by the
employees that the busy days of the
plant are over, and that if operated at
all it will be when an excess of orders
have been received by the company
and other mills are too busy to handle
the business.
The operation of the plant gives en-
ployment to many persons and before
its absorption by the combine it ran
two shifts and was in continuous oper-
alton. Since the Great Western Cereal
company purchased the property, 1t
has run when orders warranted it, and
at other times il has closed down I'M
