MiIk Producers Dissatisfied.

Windham county milk producers for the Boston market are very much dis satisfied at the price offered for the summer milk. Notwithstanding the recent tests by Storrs college where 1t was shown that it cost almost 1-2 cents to produce a quart of milk, the contractors have offered the following prices per 1-2 quart can: April 31 cents, May 25 cents. Juno z5 cents, July 31 cents. August s1 cents, Sep tember 31 cents. By this it will be seen that, for May and June the pro- ducers will receive less than three cents Der quart, and the outlying farmers must pay out of this two cents per can for transportation to some of the stations.

these storms deplete themselves
by runaing into regions of high
barometer which are of greater
magnitude and extent than the
storm itself. Some of them, how
ever, travel completely around
the world.
To keep tab on cold waves
that come into the United States
from Canada and Alaska, the
Weather Bureau studies the Ca
madam Weather reports. En-
gland sends reports from Iceland,
the British Islands and Conti-
mental Europe, and daily reports
come from St. Petersburg on the
conditions in Russia and Siberia.
The same businesslike system
used in tracing the track of a
storm is applied in determining
the arrival of frosts.
Flood forecasts are made in
much the same way. Informa-
ton as to the amount of rainfall
at the head waters of streams
that caused floods are covered by
Geographic reports sent by local
observers. AS this rain reaches
the main channel, the height of
the water in the channel is de.
termined by successive guaging

how much a height, say of &c
