Dairy Notes of Interest.
The following item appeared in the
Meyersdale Republican of last week
which should be of especial interest
to all dairy farmers of this locality:
'ENuch interest has been aroused
locally in dairying since Banker Har-
shaw of Grove City made his interest
ing address at the Meyersdale Cham
Der of Commerce banquet, January
25th, telling what has been accom-
plished in that line at Grove City,
Mercer county. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company's agricultural
department has since made survey
of the dairy resources of Meyersdale
and vicinity and found great posi-
bilities here for milk production. DR.,
Kelley, of the Scott-Powell Milk Co.,
of Philadelphia has also paid several
visits to this section to study the pos
sibilities of getting a milk supply here
for the Philadelphia market. DR. Kel-
ley's last visit here was last Friday,
when a meeting of business men and
farmers was held at the Chamber OF
Commerce to hear DR.. Kelley outline
a plan for the establishment of a milk
shipping station here and increase
and improvement of the dairy
herds of this section, promis-

company will take all the milk that
can be produced here for export at
prices that will put much money into
circulation locally. DR.. Kelley said
this could be done without robbing the
local dairy plant of its milk supply.
He predicted that the existing dairy
plant would profit by competition and
larger milk production. DR.. Kelley
contends that in order to build up a
milk shipping business successfully, It
will be necessary to interest local cap
ital. He said it would take about $50
900 to erect and equip an adequate
milk shipping station. He thinks local
business men and farmers should get
interested to that extent, and he ex-
planned how the morey could be raised
and the investment made safe for
every one. 1t was decided to hold
three meetings at three different pla-
ces-- Meyersdale, Salisbury and
Grantsville, on March 9Th, 9th and
10th, respectively, and to have the
proposition explained to farmers and
