abled packers to store much larger
quantities of butter than they stored

dealers in the dairy product. 1t is
believed the storing will continue
until there is a decided change in
weather conditions.

ditions and increa sed storing should
make butter more plentiful next
Winter. Dealers say it seems rea-
sonably certain the storing will con-
tinue until the Fourth of July holi-
day season. Increased shipments of
butter from nearby Maryland and
Virginia are reported.
