CHANGE OF CREAM 4
PLAN RECOMMENDED

merly. In these strictly cream Sec
tons dealers were forced by COMPETE
tive conditions to pay a price based
on the market value of cream. I'm
der the surplus plan all Glass 2 is
paid for at butterfat value. In this
strictly cream territory the dealers
are the gamers by the amount which
the farmers are paying for skim milk
kept on the farm and, in addition,
they are enabled to own their cream
at, a lower rate than formerly.
For these three chief reasons the
sales committee recommends that the
cream plan shall be discontinued.
They believe that the cream plan has
some decided advantages but that the
disadvantages which experience has
shown to exist, more than outweigh
the advantage.

Joyce shuddered, and she looked at

An inarticulate sound like that OF

And, shaking himself free from the
priests friendly grasp, he picked up
the rifle and the snowshoes and went
slouching off in the direction of the
forest. Father McGrath took step

head, watched him as he made his
way over the frozen ground into the
darkness.

His guild time accordin' to His weel,
I'd throttle We like the hound We are"
he cried.
