THE POOR FABNfERs

How thankful the farmers should be
that the creameries are paying high
prices for butterfat. It helps to bridge
over the hard times so nicely. The
past year has been hard on the farm
ers. They got only 81 a busheI for their
wheat; corn was only so cents a bushel;
eggs have seldom been more than 20
cents dozen; horses would not sell
for more than $3.50 to $500 and it is al
most impossible to loan money safely
for more than 6 per cent 1t is a great
thing to have the creamery check come
to the rescue.-Abilene Reflector.
