Senator Beasman's Barn Burns.

The large bank barn on the farm
of ex-senator Johnnie E. Beasman,
near Sykesville was destroyed by fire
Tuesday night, causing an estimated
loss OF $4,000. The fire, Of unknown
origin was discovered about eleven
o'clock, burning the barn and all it,
contents and four other outbuildings.
Two wagons were the only farm
machinery destroyed and no live
stock was burned.
Some one on a neighboring farm
saw flames leaping from the roof OF
the barn on the Beasman farm. He
Immediately awakened the family,
and, assisted by the neighbors in the
vicinity, they formed a bucket brigade
but their efforts were futile.

Milk Situation.

| In reply to an article i'm the Balti-
more Sun on February LIST, 1919, head
ed, Milk Prices Will Fall" would
say in order to let the producers OF
our association know so far as Car
roll county members are concerned,
the status. of the situation. A meet
ing was called by the Milk Bottler's
Association of Baltimore and the di-
rectors of the State Dairymen's As
sociation on Thursday, January 80.
The purpose of this meeting from the
dealers stand point with DR.. Hop
kins, head Of the Health Department
back Of them, was to cut the sched-
ule of prices that had been agreed
upon taking effect September /, 1918
and effective until May !, 1919,
with the provision that IL feed went
UP milk prices would advance and IL
feed declined milk prices would 20
down. The truth Of the matter Is that
feed has advanced and through the
slick manipulation of the dealers and
the health department back of them,
have succeeded in cutting the price to
80 cents per gallon for the month OF
February. i want to say Mr.. Gist and
myself represented Carroll county at
this meeting and stood firm through
out the meeting and would not agree
to lower the price until May 1. But
according to the article contained in
Saturday mornings Sun of February
l some of the dealers and directors
of the State Dairymen's Association,
came to the agreement the following
day, when we were not present. III
we would have been present, we
would not have approved any change
i'm the schedule of prices agreed to
and effective until May !, DIR. Hop
kins also says i'm this same article OF
February l that milk should be ID
cents a quart in winter and Is cents
in summer. In making this statement
would like the Doctor to tell on
what he bases the costs of produc-
ton. 1t is an easy matter for the Doc
tor to sit back in his office at the
health department, and suggest milk
prices, when the truth Of the matter
is, he knows nothing about the cost OF
producing a gallon of milk. Now !
want to impress upon the members OF
the Carroll County Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION, let us be up and doing
let us SO strengthen our organization
in Carroll that If the time comes as
it did last Spring, that we will be able
to take the initiative and demand a
price for our milk that will enable u
to stay i'm the business.
