OCTOBER MILk PRICES
Farmers Sending Milk TO Boston Mar
ket TO Get Same as in September

ket TO Get Same as in September
Boston, Sept. 30-1'he October mill
price which farmers who supply th'
Boston market will receive is the sam'
as in September, lOisc per quart de
livered in Boston The sales commit
tee Of the New England Milk Produc
crs' Association decided 10 ask thii
price after a careful consideration Of
the costs Of production and the condi
ton Of the milk market at the present
time.
The milk Of the members Of tn,
association was sold to Boston dealers
on the l0iac basis for one month only
The conditions Of the grain market
and other factors which effect the
price Of milk are so uncertain at the
present time that neither farmer nor
dealer wanted 20 make a contract for
more than a month. The decision Of
the sales committee will effect the
milk price in other cities as il has
been the custom for some time past
for the smaller markets 10 follow Bos-
ton In price.
Before deciding on what price TO
ask for milk the sales committee,
which consists Of representative farm
eIs from various sections Of New Eng
land, considered carefully the costs Of
production as shown in the data secur-
ed by the statistical department of the
association. This data showed that
the average cost of producing milk in
September was 9.57 cents per quart at
the farm. To this must be added the
freight, station and. other expenses of
bringing milk TO Boston. On the av
eiage this amounts to more than a
cent a quart
The data secured by the statistical
department showed that while there
has been a sharp decline in the price
of gain at wholesale, the actual de-
crease in the retail prices out in the
country is less marked. The decrease
in retail prices in the country amounts
to about 10 per cent in the past two
monts. On the other hand the costs Of
labor have increased in the same time.
The decrease in grain is about offset
by the increase in labor costs and the
regular seasonal advance in the cost
Of production due to the passing of the
pastures and the necessity for heavier
feeding at the barn.
; l'he 81 butterfat standard was re-
tanned, as a recent opinion was given
by the representatives of the dairy de-
partment of the New England Agri-
Colleges that the 81 per cent
was the lowest which could be safely
sold under the Massachusetts, law

RED CROSS WORK
ERs ATTENTION
Bennington County Vermont Chapter
The American Red Cross, Benning
ton. Vermont.


Mrs. f. l.. Wyman,
Manchester Center, VT.
Dear Mrs. Wyman:
In answer to our inquiry. we are
definitely avised by Division Head
quarters at Boston, that we cannot
look TO them to supply materials, free
of cost, and that there is no program
on the part Of National or Division
Headquarters Of the American Red
Cross, to make any special drive for
funds to enable them to supply such
materials.
Now we feel that there are quite a
number of women in this county, and
throughout the country, who would be
glad to do some work for the Red
Cross, if materials could be furnished
free Of cost. Garments, sweaters, etc
that are made TO be distributed prl-
marily in our own county, through
local nursing committees on the rec
ommendation OF our public health
nurse, who knows many deserving and
pitiful cases.
With this thought in mind, ! feel
justified in saying that we can get the
necessary funds TO provide the ma
teriels. and ! hope that you can find
a number Of workers in your branch
that. under such conditions, will be
glad 10 pledge themselves 70 do def
mite work: such work TO be done at
home. or at some community center,
and delivered at regular intervals.
Every piece Of work that we could
produce in this way would be clear
gain. II we make a start, with even
4 few workers. others would gladly
join the ranks
Does the idea appeal % you
What can YOU do 70 assist in carry
ing out this program
Your prompt reply viii Be appreei-
ated-
Very truly yours,

Any Manchester women who are
willing 70 respond 10 this appeal are

WOMEN TEACHERS MAY
VOTE ON NOVEMBER z

Many questions have come in to
the state headquarters of the League
of Women Voters as to whether
women teachers may vote at the COM
ing elections and if so whether they
should vote in their home district or
{ in the district where they stay dur
ing the school year.
/. To satisfy these questions the at
torney general was appealed to and
has rendered the following opinion:
"A woman voter teaching in dis
trict other than the district of her
permanent residence, may register
by mail pursuant to the provisions OF
Section 425, G. S. 1913, and may
vote by mail pursuant to the pro-
visions of Chapter 68, Laws of Min
nesota 1917"
The attorney general further ad-
vises that if a teacher intends to
make her permanent residence where
she is now teaching she may vote IN
that district but she must satlsf y the
election judges as to the sincerity OF
her intention to make her new resi-
dence permanent.
Even more inquiries have come to
the League of Women Voters as to
whether women could be required to
give their exact age at the polls and
alarm was expressed in some quar-
tiers that if this requirement was In
sisted upon considerable reduction
in the women's vote would result.
Once more the attorney general came
to the rescue, with an opinion which
should satisfy any uneasiness on this
score. The opinion reads: "Where.
it is obvious that a prospective voter
is over twenty-one years OF age,
there should be no inquiry on the
subject by the election board. What
entry should be made by the regiser
judges in the columns of the register
headed: Length of residence in the
United States" Length of residence
in the state," in cases where the ap-
plicant is obviously over twenty-one
years of age? In my opinion the
proper entries to be made in such
cases are, in the case of a citizen
born in the United States; lover
twenty-one years." "over six months"
and "over thirty days" In the case
of naturalized citizen or of voters
who were not born in the United
States more exact information may
be required. It then becomes per
tinent to know definitely what length
of time the person seeking to vote
has resided in the United States, the
State of Minnesota and the election
district wherein he is resident.
But in normal cases of voter born
in this country, the data given above
is sufficient to enable the Judges to
determine the qualifications of the
persons offering to vote"

OLD DOBBIN COMING
BACK, ASSERTS EXPERT
(By United PreSS)

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 23.-The next
five years will see the horse drawn
carriage, the saddle horse and the
trucking horse on the boulevards,
in the parks and on the highways in
great revival of Old Dobbin's useful
hess was the statement today to the
United Press by j. G. Buckley, for
twenty-four years a horseshoer OF
Detroit. Buckley is now "shoeing
horses on paper" as editor Of the
Horseshoers Journal.
Carrying on his former business in
one location on exclusive north Wood
ward avenue. Buckley shod the
horses of many Detroit millonaires,
lmCng them Hazen S. Pingeree,
former governor of Michigan; Z. A.
NcWcomD of the decentralization
company and Simo b J. Murphy, mil
lionaire lumber fan and owner of
he PcnobsCot office building and
many others.
Buckley bases his statement on the
movement being forwarded by many
states setting aside driving space
along the bonlevards and in the
parks; on the fact that the ton
mage of horse shoes and nails
manufactured ,oday is greater than
at any time in the past two or three
years and on the introduction of leg
islation in various states to maintain
shoeing shops where the farmers can
be taught the trade.
The lack Of driving horses on the
highways now. Buckley said, is not
due so much to the fact that the auto
mobiles replace them, but to the fact
that man loving his driving horse
would not risk driving him among
the automobiles. There is also a
serious shortage of men to shoe
horses, he said, adding that the horse
sheer. in fear that the auto might
put him out Of business entirely, has
taken up other lines of work, such
as auto repairing and welding. The
blacksmith trade ranges high in
wages, he said.
Speaking on the ataptability Of the
horse to the trucking business Buck
ley cited statistics that a horse can
be used in this business at an eX-
pense of IS cents mile while carry
ing 100 pounds of freight while the
auto truck expenses for the same
distance while carrying the same
weight is Is cents.
Although conceding that the horse
connot completely replace the auto
truck, Buckley maintains it can be

LOSS ON POTATOES
CAN BE MlNIMIZED

Careless handling of potatoes dur
ing and after digging, says A. G.
Tolaas, chief inspector for the state
seed potato certification board, is
often responsible for serious loss
from rots., Every bruise or infection
on a potato makes it easy for various
storage rots to develop. These dis
eases have their origin in the soil or
in unclean bins. 1t is important,
therefore, that great care he taken
while digging and also while handl-
ing the potatoes after placing them in
storage.
Potatoes badly bruised when dug
should not be placed in storage with
sound potatoes, since they are GER
tain to rot and spread infection
throughout the bins. A field that has
contained backlog, and which has
not been rogued, is very likely to
yield a considerable number Of po-
tatoes slightly infected at least with
blackleg rot. If these are placed in
storage with sound tubers they may
be responsible for large amounts of
storage rot, especially if the potatoes

after being placed in storage.
Mr.. Tolaas finds that large
amount of storage rots can be pre-
vented by placing the potatoes as
soon as dug in crates which, when
filed, can be hauled to the storage
cellar and carefully dumped wherever
wanted. If it is necessary to drop
the potatoes several feet much dam.
age can be avoided by providing 8
chute for lowering them into the
cellar.
Storage cellars, especially those
which contained lot of rotted pota.
toes the previous year, should be
thoroughly disinfected with strong
solution of bluestone-one pound
being dissolved in ten gallons OF
water; or formaldehyde, one pint in
ten gallons of water, before the pc.
tatoes are put away. Good Ventila.
ton with temperature of from 35 to
40 degrees F. will aid materially in
keeping down the loss from storage

HOW ABOUT YOUR
FIRE INSURANCE

Have you increased your fire in
surance policies so that the amount
of your insurance is somewhat in line
with the increased cost OF new build
ines and new equipment?t
This pertinent question at this
time is asked by William l.. Calvert,
farm management specialist with the
agricultural extension division at
University Farm.
II would suggest" says Mr.. Calvert
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1920-10-23

t"that those who have not Increased
their insurance since the era OF high
prices for building material tele-
phone or write at once to the secre-
tary of the mutual company asking
for sufficient increased insurance to
partly offset at least the increased
cost of buildings and farm equip
ments.
adequate insurance is especially
important in5ftne case Of tenant farm
ers and of growers whose land Is
heavily morfgaged.- for in such in
stances destructive fire loss without
ADEQUATE insurance might put the
farmer in position wnere he would

POLES WON'T FOLLOW UP
VICTORY: ARE CONTENT

LONDON, Aug. GA report from
Paris that the French government had
advised Poland to reject the Russian
peace terms was officially denied by
the foreign office today.
The Poles are steadily adhering to
their announced terms and are not
asking any more as result Of the
Polish victory on the battle field, 1t
was stated by foreign office officials.
The British mission in Poland re-
ports that the civil government at
Warsaw is mot intoxicated" by the
recent victory of the Polish army, re-
alizing that Poland is not in an eco
nomic position for prolonged warfare.
The British commissioners said the
Poles had given assurance that they
would work steadily for peace.
During the weekend three attempts
were made by Polish couriers to get
through TO Minsk. where the Russo
Polish armistice and peace conference
has been in session, said a dispatch
from Warsaw. The couriers returned
saying that all the roads were so bad
they could not be traversed by motor
car.

SLAVIN'S CHANCE TO LIVE
NOW BETTER THAN EVEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-There was
no appreciable change in the condi-

st. Luke's Hospital yesterday. DR..
Austin w. Hollis, a specialist, after
an examination, said: 81 should say
he now appears to have better than
an even chance OF recovery"

length OF time since he was picked up
in front of the home of John J. Nc
Graw, manager of the Giants, on Sun
