CO-OP nOTES
Darrel Frank, manager of the Warehouse re
ports that the binder trine has arrived
rhich ras‘ordered from the West Coast sup
ply houses. Horever, because tho supply
obtainable from this source- ras insuffi
cient to meet our demands, it ras necess
ary to order nor6 trine from the Middle
West. Therefore, part of our supply of
trine rill be coming from Minneapolis and
rill naturally be higher because of the
additional cost in freight. The'trine on
hand’at tho present time is $14.10 per
bale. Better fill your needs nor at the
lorer prices.
The rater supply is still not sufficient
to carry the load of increased rater con
nections during dry periods and cold per
iods of tie rinter months rithout
causing rater shut-offs. It is becoming
more evident all the time that Palmer
needs Municipal Utilities organisation
to deal rith problems of this nature.
The dry weather has been very'hard on
vegetable producers this year. Usually by
this time we have an abundance of radishes
onions, and some rhubarb, on the market.
It is hoped that the drought is broken
now and the few light showers of the past
week will be followed by heavier rains.
The addition to the Creamery building is
getting an aluminum lining in the weigh
ing room. This work is being rushed to
completion as fast as possible. There is
still a good deal of work'to be done in
the installation of pipes, fittings and
the new weighing machine \iiich has been
on hand for some time, but never installed
duo to lack of space.
