ICE CREAM GAINS
PLACE AS FOOD
No Longer Considered Luxury But
An Important Necessity. De-
velOped Into Standard
Food.
MUCH BUTTER NOW USED
IN IT'S MANUFACTURE
When Ice Cream SOurs Ii is Re-
converted Into Butter and
No Loss is Sustained.

According TO the report OF the
state dairy and food department ice
cream, that few years ago was
regarded as a luxury, has developed
into one of the standard food COM
modities of the country. In its
manufacture thousands of tons of
unsalted butter are used. When
cream sours it is converted into but
ter and thus no loss. is sustained.
The use of butter makes it possible
to maintain the legal standard IL
per cent of butter fat, even tho the
whole milk used may be under test.
The stimulus of the ice cream in
dustry has contributed much to the
profits Of the dairyman, in that it
has created an unusual demand for
milk and cream.
Dairymen at present have founl
the present season one Of the most
profitable ever experienced in the
business. Pastures have been un-
usually good all summer and recent
heavy rains afforded a growth of
succulent grasses equivalent to that
of the most favored springtime.
Dairy butter now has that golden
hue that is prevalent in the spring
and the flow of the milk is so great
that many dairymen are milking
their cows at from three to five
times a day. The latter is the cas-
...m on the big Hargrove dairy fam
IN Warren c,'...'y, tear Norwaik
Commission. Bamey says there
are now 42l creameries in the state.
Reports have been received from all
but nineteen of these and the out
put from those missing has been
estimated, based upon previous re-
ports. From July, 1920, to July,
1921, these creameries produced 95,-
303,376 pounds of butter.
Mr.. Barney calls attention to the
manner in which butter prices have
been maintained in comparison with
those prevailing before the deflation
period got in its work. During the
month of August, 1920, the price Of
butter averaged 55.37 cents per
pound. During August, 1921, the
price averaged 42.50 cents per pound.
not very serious drop. During
August, 1918, the price of beef cat
tie averaged $3.50 per hundred; in
August, 1919, beef cattle averaged
s15!95 per hundred; in August, 1870,
the same averaged $14.S5, but IN
August, 1921, the average of beef
animals was only SS.75 per hundred.
Mr.. Barney uses these comparative
figures to show that dairy products
have not suffered anything like the
decline in prices that the beef indus
try has.
The automobile figures in the
dairy business is to its detriment.
When the time of day arrives for
milking that duty must be per-
formed. This keeps the dairyman
pretty close at home and prevents
many an otherwise delightful JOY
ride. One of the largest dairymen IN
Fayette county purchased fine
Hudson super-six and so captivated
did his family become that he was
forced to sell his dairy herd in order
that proper attention might be. given
TO the use of the car.

Joint BUYING CAN
GO TOO FAR
One County Agent Changes Views
Regarding Co-Operative
Efforts.
LOCAL DEALERS CAN NOT
BE DISPENSED WITH
Cites Instances Where Local Asso-
Citations Forced Merchants to
Quit Carrying Certain
Lines.


Ames, Iowa-That local farm
bureau organizations can go too far
in the matter of cooperative buying
of farm commodities and do injury
to farmers interests by uneconomic
competition with existing business is
the opinion of at least one county
agent lin Iowa, Clarence Pickard, Of
Humboldt county.
Mr.. Pickard, who formerly believed
that the county agent should lend his
assistance to groups of farmers who
desired to buy supplies co-opera-
lively to be distributed from the car
for cash, has altered his policy due
to several experiences with CO.
operative buying.
"We purchased three cars of
twine last year and two cars of Glow
er seed this year, says Mr.. Pick
ard, with such good support from
the farmers as to leave certain deal
ers strained high and dry with these
commodities on hand.
GAS a result, this spring it was
with some difficulty that the dealers
were persuaded to handle twine at
ALL 1t was necessary that dealers
should carry twine, for some farm
ers could not pay cash at the car,
many were in the habit of waiting
until they ran their binders out be-
fore i'inkiny cf twine. and without
4 the dealer there would be nc way u
supply odd balls, for the farm bur-
eau has no storehouses or distribut-
ing system.
'It looks like clever trick at first
to show the dealers up this way, but
when they call our bluff and with
draw from handling these commodi-
ties in which we have shown them
up, then we are stuck, for we have
started something we can't finish.
We are not prepared to give this
service to all kinds Of farmers ev-
cry day in the year."
As a result of these experiences
Mr.. Pickard has altered his policy
toward this problem. Whenever the
farmers throut the county or in any
portion of it," he says, demand the
cooperative purchasing of COM
modify, we cite them their privilege
of organizing their own cooperative
society to free them from the real
or imaginary bondage of the private
dealer.
"My attitude lis that the dealer
performs an indispensable service
which whether rendered by him or
by some one else, must be paid for
by some one in some way. | believe
the farm bureaus should refrain
from countrywide buying for farmers
unless they are prepared to go all
the way and completely replace the
dealer with reference to the specific
commodity they are attempting to
randle. The farmers prero gative OF
organizing his own cooperative as
sociation is a check on the dealer.

The Sioux City Tribune suggests
that "if women realized how much

Insurance companies writing auto
mobile collision and fire policies are
disturbed over the large losses that
are being claimed this year, and are
taking steps to remedy the situation.
One of the largest automobile insur-
ance underwriters in the east has
discontinued altogether writing poll
cies on four of the low priced ma
chimes. Another company has
adopted the practice of delaying set
tlement until thorough investiga-
ton of each loss is made, in many
cases up to the full sixty day limit.
Insurance brokers are making a
more thorough investigation of the
moral hazard involved in each case.
A casualty company specializing in
liability and property damage COW
erage reports the demand for this
kind of insurance has been ahead of
last year.
