Butter cost az cents in Mineral
Point today. A university expert
gives three reasons for the situation
viz: A greater demand for condensed
milk, due to European war; and owing
to dry pastures and higher prices for
feeding stuffs, a slight decrease in pro-
duction on dairy farms. Furthermore
there has been larger output of
cheese than ever before. Then again
all prices are up so why not butter?
