The shortage of feed 1c . this city at present is by far the 00s. ' critical iocs.! feed dealers have ever experienced, it is estimated that;" there IS only enough reed ta Fairmont | at present to last four or fire days. 1 Although the embargo on feed fo: an-1 imal consumption has recently been ' lifted on the Baltimore and Ohio rai.- j road, local dealers report that they are ; still unable to get feed. The Arch Fleming feed store reports that they now have no grain of an> : kind. T'/;y hare not had a supply of grain for over two weeks. ?v?;y day there are many customers calling and inquiring about shipment of feed. I'ntll the last few days, little coui-j plaint has been heard. Now tSs farmers and others handling live stock realize the seriousness of the sit.pa-1 ;ion and are tellicr the grain dealers ' that they mast fea've a supply of feed , or dispose of their stock. Feed which the local dealers arc en-' ; tirely viable to get are yeliow com. crack com. scratch feed. oats, clove- ( hay and alfalfa hay. The Fairmont ( Grain and Milling Company reports 1 that they have also been experiencing ] a Tery critical situation. Yesterday ' they reecived a carload of oats. The, j 1,S00 bushels of oats were sold out;] before 10 o'clock this morning, which'] is an indication of the great demand j for feed. The feed received here yes j tctday has been in transit since Jfo- j vember 20. j This feed store is al9o nnable to j get wheat for human consumption. which the embargo has never affected. i The Fairmont Feed and Storage Com- " pasy is having no more success in' getting fe>d to Fairmont. i Local dealers are doing their best to , get a supply of feed but have found < It almost impossible. The embargo J on feed for animal consumption has < been lifted, but the grain dealers arc J still affected because of embargoes oa 2 such feed on other lines. ! 4 DANIEL WILLARO j - - - ? am iaiiv I VISI1S HUM I 1 t President of the B. & O. j Came in With a Freight \ W- Train.
