COST OF MILK IS
GIVEN ATTENTION
State Calculators Show What
1t Costs the Farmers to Put
Out Their Product

Many farmers throughout the State
nave started to figure on the actual
cost of production of milk, following
the movement for better prices for the
farmer says the bulletin of the State
Department of Agriculture issued to-
day. I'm many cases it has been shown
that with the increased cost of feed
and labor, the old prices paid to the
farmers did not pay for the produc-
ton of the milk" says the bulletin.
In many parts of the State farmers
were discouraged and were quitting
the dairy business.
The following statement furnished
to the Department of Agriculture by
Western Pennsylvania farmer of the
investments, stock and equipment of
a 4OO-acre farm devoted to dairying

consumers of dairy products of the
state the real conditions of the dairy

Preparing Specifications
Specifications and blue-prints are
now being prepared so that no time
may be lost in advertising for pro-
to the city of Park Commissioner E.
z. Gross and City Solicitor d. S.
Seitz, Prior to leaving for Easton
to attend the Pennsylvania Presby-
terry gathering, Commissioner Gross
said that he would consult with Mr..
Seitz as to whether the city is leg
ally required to ask for bids. Mr..
his son, a Yale university student
Both officials are expected home by
the latter part of the week.
If it be decided to ask for bids it
is probable that the work cannot be
started before November l as Park
Commissioner Gross had expected, as
the request for sealed proposals must
be advertised for at least ten days.
Whether or not the weather might in
terfere with the completion of the
whole job before winter sets in is
problematical although it is generally
believed that a great deal of the work
can be completed before freezing pre-
vents.
Advertise 10 Days
In the absence of Park Commission
er Gross, Assistant Superintendent
Forrer discussed briefly the possibil-
tiles for an early start of the work.
the method of procedure and so on.
"Plans and specifications are being
prepared now SO that we can ba
ready to ask for bids as soon as Mr..
Gross and Mr.. Seitz return. 1 under
stand that Mr.. Gross wants to consult
Mr.. Seitz about this problem first.
Whether we can get under way by No
vember 1, however, is doubtful. We
must advertise ten days.
IL doubt, too," continued Mr.
Forrer, 'as to whether two months of
work could possibly be completed be-
fore the snow flies or before the
ground freezes.
At Last
THAT the job can be started and he
we'll under way within the next month
or so, is certainly assured. The sug-
gestion for obtaining bids on the work
as whole as we'll as on the block
unit plan, was made to overcome any
possible difficulty that might be met
with if the prices are too high.
Park Commissioner Gross has
decided to riprap the river front
slopes and our department is arrang
ing to go ahead with the work at the
earliest possible moment"

READING ORDERS
STEEL EQUIPMENT
Need Cars TO Relieve Present
Freight Congestion; First
Under New Head
Special to the Telegraph

Philadelphia, March "a. - Orders
calling for the obstruction of 1000
steel hopper coal cars, aggregating an
expenditure of between $3.50, 900
and S1.5OO,OOO, were placed by the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
company yesterday. The cars will be
of 100000 pounds capacity each and
will he built by the Standard Steel
Car Company and the Pressed Steel
Car Company, each of which concerns
has received an order for 500 cars.
The orders placed yesterday were
the first that the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway has announced since
the recent reorganization of the exec
utiVe heads of the company follow
ing the death of the late President
Theodore n. Voorhees,. The new cars
will be rushed to completion as soon
as possible so that they may augment
the raoilway's present coal carrying
equipment that is now taxed to its
capacity owing to heavy traffic. Addi-
tional orders, it is expected will be
placed in the near future.
