ATTENTION FARMERS
Much has boon said concerning
the price of butter fat at our
local dreamery. It has boon said
that v/c arc not getting as much
as the fanners are outside, for
butter fat.
For definite information along
these lines we have telegraphed
out to get the latest prices ■
on butter fat and w ould like to
make some comparisons.
Creameries outside are now pay
ing 25j^ per pound for butter fat
fob Seattle. They sell 91 score .•
butter to the wholesalers at 25^ !‘
and 92 score butter at 26^ per lb.
'/Vholcsalers work on 3j^ margin over
cube price, and sell to retailers ;
at 28 and 29^.
The present retail price varies
from cost to plus seven cents.
Our present price of butter fat
to the farmers is eight cents
higher than outside prices and
the retail price is not in com
parison with the outside price.
Therefore, all statements made
at random arc far from being
definite or even close guesses.
If the local .creamery could get
three times the present amount
of] butter gat , they could begin
to do business in a business like
way, much to the satisfaction of
every One concerned. But until
such time, we can not complain.
Figures show we are getting more
than we are entiled to and the
greatest difliculity is lack of
volumn in business, which should
come from the farmers.
