would bay to pay to replace them. II most
add not mora than th deft nit margin specified
by thj food administration to the actual cost.
which can Incrud nothing more than the pur
chase pnee. transportation charges if ' any, ac
ta! store re and iunra nee oharsca, interest on
money invested at th current rate while tne
butter is in storage, and th actual east of
printing if the butter is put into prints from
tubs or cube. No allowance is maae
ah rink see.
Cold storage butter la butter tnat nas Dee
held in a cold sturtg warehouse for more
than 30 days.
Maximum margins that may e aanea ny uie
dealer arc fixed, bat that does not mean that
he may always take the full amount. even on
a ruing market- Tbese margins ar to pre
vent speculation and ar purposely mad- wide
to provide for any cases where th expense may
be unusually high. The margin taken tntut
never be mure than enough to give the dealer
a fair or reasonable profit. The maximum msr
gina ar lo a pound- on carloads, 1 H e on less
than a carload arm more tnan ?ouu pounds,
le en lots from 700 to 7000 pounds, and
2 o a pound on sales lees than 700 pounds.
If the batter l Held in storage not lea
than two calendar months, dealers ar permit
ted to add not more than le a pound an He
a pound additional for each calendar rikmUi
thereafter, but the total must not exceed tc a
pound ia any case.
It one dealer sells to anotner at a pne nignsr
than prevails on th open market on which he
could hav bought, th deal will b considered
as eollnaion and a violation of th rules. When
manufacturer does the work 01 a wholesaler
or jobber, ttt rules applying in uiesa imes 01
bu-tness apply to him. The new regulations
specify th method of figuring costs in such
eases.
Commission merchants cannot c barge more
than e a pound for selling cold storage hotter
without vMsrtin the food control aot or these
rules. This charge must be included in the
margin allowed over coet.
In general, the butter must be kept moving
to the consumer in as direct a sine as prac
ticable and without unnecessary delsy, and no
profits must come to dealers without corre
sponding service.

romeroy. Waah.. Jolv 9. Oarflslrl
country will help Uncle Sam tMs season
by producing; a somewhat greater crop
of wheat than a year atro but th
barley crop ia about as email as any
one could think of without It being-
an absolute failure.
Whilo thero la a far better ahowln
of winter wheat In Garfield cou
than In the pr1nt Diamine, still both
cropn will be Rood, compnrltavely epoak
Ing, and will be heavier than a year
atro.
This should not b taken to indicate
that Garfield etandar alone and will
produce a bumper crop thia season.
Such is far from real faeta. The county
wllj produce more wheat In 1911 than
It did in 1917 because last year's pro
duction was unusually disappointing;
and did not come within sight of earli
er expectations.
Much 30 to 35 bushel fall wheat will be
ehown this aeason tn this section and
It would not be surprising- If consider
able spring planting reaches at least
25 bushela.
Llgkt Lands Are Tavored
Garfield county shows conditions In
some) ret pec t much like those of other
sections already visited ; the better
lands producing the smaller crops and
what Is ordinarily conaldererl poor
ground Is expected to give forth the
beat production. Thia aeema to be a
mean triek that Dame Nature has
played the wheat and barley growers
of the raclflc Northwest this season.
Conditions are eeemlnrly all in favor
of the better clami lands1; but that's
the rub. Conditions seem to have fol
lowed the wrong; road some how be
cause they scarcely represent actual
results. Jn other words, conditlona are
not what they seem at all. tnder
ordinary conditions of weather, such as
the season to date has shown, the light
land fields would be !n a bad way
by this time : and the heavy lands
would have real crops.
Little oats crop Is shown In this sec
tion of the state and the crop outlook
for the small planting Is only fair.
Few Grain Bags Purchased
Weather conditions during the last
week have been about Ideal for tha
growing crop of grain and Oi ripen
ing wlllmake up to some extent for
the erratic twist of the season to date.
The grain beads are filling much bet
ter than normal and tha wheat, as well
as the barley, is expected to weigh
heavier than for several seasons pasL
- Vegetable crops are by no means
satisfactory In thit portion of the In
land Empire. Green aphla played no
favorites in this respect for the vege
tables, they were attacked with lust
a much violence as the grain. In fact.
It has been a season of topsy turvy
conditlona. the like of which has not
been known heretofore,
Grain dealers report but little activity
In th grain bag market to date. Fewer
bus have been purchased up to this
time this season than are usually
bought In the spring months. Dealers
appear to be at sea aa to where the
uonllea will come from. Immediate
buying and shipping of bags Is abso-
' lutely necessary to save uie crops at
i ready grown.

New York. July 9. (U. P.k Continua

any new offensives which .Von Hlnden

The spirit of eagerness which tho al

edly a tribute to the Inspiring presence

OsUoek TMiqatetlag for Hna
The fact that Von Hlndenburg tray
be training his best troops behind the
lines for their work tn a forthcoming
offensive cannot servo as a satisfac
tory escuae by the Germans for un
steadiness for their unit now holding
the battlefront positions. Von Hlnden
burg cannot have drawn more than
250.000 men for Intensive training a
shock troops. The rest of the units
for use in a forward movement would
come from the reserve divisions.
If a replacement of only 250.000 men
can cause the German line to be shaken
as Oeneral Foch la now shaking It. the
outlook Is very disquieting for Von Iln
denburg's future piano.
