GRAIN. 
Prices of wheat and most other grains have 
been at a higher level than for some time, 
though the market is very touchy and by no 
means stable at this advance. The Argentine 
embargo on wheat and flour shipments Is a 
strong feature. With the breaking up of Win¬ 
ter Canadian wheat is moving more rapidly.

Dairy Conditions in Pennsylvania 
Dairymen in_ Che.ster Co.. Pa., like 
their brothers in adjoining States, have 
been long suffering and very kind to the 
milk dealers who are still getting much 
milk that is produced at a los.s. Feeds 
which ’ast Summer and Fall co.st us .$26 
and $28 are now costing .$40 and .$44 ; in 
some eases over 50% advance. Some 
have sold their dairies, others are going 
to .sell. Intelligent farmers will not con¬ 
tinue to produce milk at a loss. The sit¬ 
uation is discouraging, not to say seri¬ 
ous, and the only hope and salvation 
seems to be in organization under an 
ironclad contract. Dr. King, chairman 
of the committee appointed tu investigate 
the co.st of producing milk, has been ad¬ 
dressing meetings in different localltie,s 
in an effort to’ arou.se the farmers and 
prepare all of us for troubles which seem 
to lie ahead. hay.s c. taylok,
