Owing to the dry weather this fall,
but small acreage of plowing has
been done. Some farmers have been

has been station agent at Bingham

Milk took rise to seven cents per
quart, November ist. No one can
complain at this price when quart

seven cents. 1t is cheaper then and

price. Everything else that enters
into the necessaries Of life Is on the
rising scale and milk has been slow
in working up to where it can be pro-
duced at reasonable profit.
