BUTTER CHEAPER
Improved Conditions Will Lower
Prices This Winter


Topeka, Oct. 29.-The price Of the
butter Mr.. Man puts on his bread will
be about stationary this winter, ac-
cording to an official of large
creamery here. He does not believe
the market will reach the high point
Of December, 1919.
"The market for butter will de-
pend upon the Industrial situation
If men have work, their families will
have butter" said the official. "Pro-
duction is Is to 25 per cent ahead of
last year there is more roughage to be
fed this year, and the United States is
importing butter from foreign coun-
tries. These factors will operate to
secure stability in the market and
keep the price about where it is at
the present time, not only in Kansas,
but in the entire country.
"This company believes it will pay
better to milk cows this winter than
for several years past, not only be-
cause Of the abundance of roughage,
but because grain will have Difficult
ty in finding its way to market on
account Of the transportation situa-
-ion."
