LINCOLN COUNTY HAS GOOD OUT
LET FOR FARM 1'llODUCIl
lIIiUE
Whll o each of the towns In Lincoln
county Is n center for tho collection
of farm produco for shipment, North
Platto Is the big shipping center for
some lines nnd It is a distinct advan
tage to tho whole country to have
such a conter. A local dealer In ex
plaining his Idea regarding North
Platto as a produco center said in a
conversation yesterday "Take- chick
ens as an example. Only this week wo
shipped a carload of Hvo chickens to
San Francisco. Tho chickens in this
shipment weighed about nineteen hun
dred pounds. They were gathered
from all points in tho country. Wo
bought them in crates from retail
merchants in tho smaller centers and
they had bought them from the farm
ers. Wo sent our last carload to Now
York City which is our best market.
Wo can pay a better price whore wo
send to tho leading markets in car
load lots than those who ship their
produco In small shipments."
Another buyer told of tho cream
market. Ho said in part, "Wo have
bought and shipped during tho past
yoar probably half again as much
cream ins over before. Farmers havo
turned to tho old cow to pay off their
debts. The same is true of eggs nnd
other produce. And what I say for our
selves Is true for the other produco
men of this city." While tho price of
produce fluctuates from season to
reason it is a great advantage to
jknow that there is ulways a buyer
waiting for tho produce of tho farms
and that he will pay as much as you
can get anywhere njlowing for the
difference In freight. Lincoln .county
people are not slow to' realize this ad
vantage and production of poultry,
cream, butter and eggs is increasing
Tapidly from year to year.
