Show OUR MIND IS FILLED THOUGHT and now t is bordering on a butter famine in vernal all 0 the butter that 13 brought to the stores la bought and paid for in advance and about half the population of vernal have not been able to spread their bread for two weeks thia is mainly due to the high price of haythe farmers claiming there Is no money in feeding thear cows to produce milk and butter with hay at 10 a ton ahila this is true to a certain extent the price of butter should ad caico also the writer would be glad to purchase a pound or two a week at 50 centa per pound at the present time G E adams will ship in creamery butter from grand junction to supply hia customers claiming that he can do BO at a slight advance in price of course within a very few weeks as boon as grass cornea the uintah creamery will no doubt be supplied with plenty of milk from which to supply the home demand for butter however everything considered and although there is no help at tho pre bent time tor these conditions would it not look better and be better for the people of this valley to be shipping butter oats and flour to points outside of the valley instead of being compelled to ship those artl claa in to cupply the home demand there never has been a time during the past ten years that there was more than enough oata raised to supply the demand and it frequently occurs that oats are shipped in from tho railroad to supply the post contract for beveral years past several car loads of flour have been shipped in eggs are always scarce in the winter and high priced tons of cheese lard bacon etc are shipped in that could be produced here la it not possible to raise oats wheat and hay as cheap and produce milk butter cheese or eggs as cheap here as in ether parta of the state on the railroad if not why bof if the reputation price on farm products is not what i should be why not abet your own price on the stuff you raise the merchant fixes the price on his ov n merchandise but you are not compelled to accept the price he sets on your products also when there is a demand for any article there is surely money to be made in producing the article now the demand for grain hay cheese butter eggs and all farm products will be greater and more than doubled within the next two years than what it has the past year it is going to be sometime before the reservation settlers will produce enough to supply the demand there by thia time next year the grading contracts for the moffat road will have been let through this county will this alley produce the bulk of the farm products needed or will the bulk be shipped in from other there never waa a brighter prospect for the carmera of ashley valley no need of any man being idle at the present time plenty of work and plenty to do get busy everybody should bo the motto |
