Mr. Penney cjose to- bogin his Investlga tloiis in secret but his mlnSlon soon bo carhc known.-; , , Tursituy .a well dressed man called on David Colo and sild his name was Penney and that -he 'had a farm near Ruser'a and wanted to know some facts ns to the probabilities of his mnklng money If he turned, his farm Into. a chicken ranch. He asked all sorts of 'questions a to the price Cole paid the fanner arid what he got for his chickens' and' Mlw milch the retailer made when he sold them. Several reporters wpre In Mr. Cole's office at the same time and one told him he must be a government Inspector, as he was too well posted for a farmer. He assured the - reporter that such was not the case, but that he had a lot of barnyard grouse on a farm In Iowa, that he wanted to bring them to his Doug las county form and that he simply wanted to find out the situation to see If he could rnuke any money. A little later Mr. Penney visited.' the Fairmont Creamery, where he met Joseph H. Kushton, president of the company. Mr. Rushton had met him during the summer and knew he was an employe"6f the De partment of .Agriculture, as he had said so at that time. He wanted figures on the creamery business and again his questions were such that showed he was trying to find out who made the profit on butter Mr. Penny found from hlB Inquiry that the farmers of Nebraska were milking 1J per cent more cows than last year and that the number kl continually Increasing. lie found the retail dealers were making a cent, a pound more on butter this week than last when it was selling for a higher price. Last week the retailer was paying 37 cents a pound for butter and selling for 10 cents a pound, although some of the out side dealers were selling for 42 cents a pound. When the creameries cut the price of butter 6 cents a pound Tuesday the re tailers cut the price 5 cents and most are now buying for 31 cents and selling for 35 cents a pound. The. farmer Is getting about 6 cents a pound less for his butter fat ani a pound of butter fat will make a pound and a quarter of butter, so both the cream ery and the retailer are making more and the farmer gets less. The Omaha butter market ; l a cent higher than the Elgin market, on .which the Omaha market Is based. The Omaha creameries charge a cent a pound more for delivery charge and they maintain auto mobiles with which they deliver the butter to the grocer. ''.' ' ' .. .
