nifty to make a swift snd sudden cut in rates In
the flush season, when the surplus runs the
heaviest. the vendor is on hand to take material
advantage of the drop in prices. But, with ali
competition removed and the entire surplus
provided for at at profit, the farmers united in
the Milk Producers Association for a common
purpose, the vendor who thrives now at the ex-
pense of the producers and the public alike
would soon find his vocation gone. That is why
the vendors have circulated these stories in

Baltimore market, due partly to the drought but
principally to an abnormal demand for supplies

This is an age of progress. and that fact applles
with as much force and potency to the milk bus
