WASH GOODS
The dairy industry of Michiban
faces'a serious crisis as a result of
great price cuts put Into effect b>H
condenseries during the last two
months. An average of $3.65 a hundred paid hy the condenseries in
January dropping to $3.35 in Febru •
ary, and as low as .$2.50 in some
instances for March,  with prospects
; of a still further drop in Apri 1.
The failure of e^oit demand for
j condensed milk and allied products,
which followed the falling of foreign
exchange, is held responsible f r
the* price cuts to the producer. .
"Probably a million mere ia'ry(
cows are being milked in the United
States new than in 1914," says
J\A. "Waldron, dairy special!-t :t
the Michigan Agricultural coll* ge.
"Production has heen pushed n*i io
meet the war demand, and now with
the foreign market cut off -^o *in.i-
ourselves with an ov.i-.j.o ict'w,
on our hands, and .face io face, with
r
the law Of supply and demand.
"As an immedia'e solution of the
problem, much of the milk must be
skimmed and the butterfat soil.
This will, in tu.n., undoubtedly
mean a droD m the butter prices.
•'Cutting down production so a*5
to do away with, our present o'/er-
supply seems to be the only way
out of the problem. Dairym.n, in
self-defense, must immediateDy cull
out their poorer producers (their
"marginal cows") for with, lower
prices these animals'would he carried at a positive les;. Production
records will enable producers to -select these unprofitable cows w'th
ease." \
We have just opened several lines of our
Spring Wash Goods. It's a pleasure for us now
to have new goods to show. It will be piecing to you to see the 'new goods.
March  is ,a good  month in which to get
. started on Spring* Sewing.
Plan a few. wash dresses for Spring and
'Summer now and have- them ready when -the
time comes to use them.

came from the Frank Roe farm, west
of town, that a rich pool of oil had
been discovered when the well,
which had been- in. process of drilling for the past several months,, was
"shot." Many different stories 'wo*
brought in. Some told of a gusher,
others said it was a 75-barrel well

for the readers of the paper. Mr.
Miller, who* drilled the weM, when
asked what he thought of the nros-

would pump 50 barrels a day, if not
more.   He also made 'the statement
