COWS DO NOT PAY.
HIGH TRANSPORT COSTS,
WEST PLAINS (Missouri), Dec. 30,
Why thousands of American farmers have been "striking" against marketing their produce is illustrated by the following incident: —
An Ozark mountaineer sent two cows to the St. Louis market, and several davs later received a bill from the market for 40 cents (1/8), with the explanation that the price brought by the cows was not sufficient to cover transport and stockyard costs. He replied: "I haven't the necessary cash right now, but can send another cow to cover the deficit."
