Show ADVANCES FORECAST IN BUTTER AND EGGS Slight advances in the price of butter this winter are anticipated by Walter M, Boyd en, state dairy and food commissioner, commis-sioner, but he scoffs at the idea of a raise , to 1 a pound. j "It seems impossible to me that butter j will take such a great jump in price as j tiiat, because conditions are better this year than last for a larger supply. The i pastures have been greatly benefited by i the recent rains, and. alt hough labor is expensive, it is not so -scarce as at this time last year. "1 believe that eggs, however, will be more expensive this year because of the higli price of grain. Aithouirh there is a I greater supply in cold storage this year than last year, they went into storage at a higher price this year and the prices must go higher or tlie cold storage men will lose a great deal of money." |
