Conference on the Price of Milk.-A
meeting of a committee composed of five city
dairymen and five milk producers was held
Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore to discuss
the question of an increase in the price of milk.
This committee was the outcome OF meeting
of farmers held October I'D, at which the
farmers asserted that the cost of producing
milk had increased materially and it was neces-
sary to increase the price.
At Wednesdays meeting of the committee
the producers again argued for an increase in
price in addition to that which had been offered
BY some of the Dealers and declared that many
farmers would quit the milk business unless
their demands for price were acceded to by
the cry dealers. The city milkmen who were
members of the committee asindividual dairy
men have already given their shippers an in
crease in price, but they asserted that is was
impossible to grant further increase without
some concerted action on the part of the milk.

not unless compelled to do 80. All efforts to
secure cooperation among the dealers to es-
tablish fair minimum price for milk to the
shipper and consumer have proven futile, but
further attempt along this line is now being
made and it is believed that the exigeucies of
the milk situation at present will bring success
to the movement.
Before adiourning the committee, which was

to be mailed to the individual milk producers:
"Resolved. That we, as a joint committee of
Baltimore dealers and producers, appointed at
the meeting of the farmers, held October I'D,
find that no organization of dealers exists and
that in order to cooperate with dealers we
must have joint action by them also have the
cooperation of producers, and until then We

Against Killing Songbirds-Mr. Dennis
Retires.-State Game Warden Oregon Milton
Dennis has begun an active crusade against the
wholesale slaughter of songbirds in the sub
urbs of the city by small boys with slungshOts,
says the Baltimore SAN. During the last few
DAYS number of deputy game wardens have
been securing the woods in the suburbs warn
ing youthful violators of the law. In a num-
Der of instances boys, especially in the vicinity
of Lauravile and Gardenville, have been
found with dead birds and slungshots in their
possession. Where the boys were large enough
they were taken before magistrates and fine
imposed In most cases, however, the vioators
were Of such tender age that their weapons OF
determination were taken from them and they
were permitted to go home with warning.
Speaking of the subject Mr.. Dennis said:
1.-THE slaughter of songbirds in the suburbs is
not much worse this year than in others. The
complaints, however, have been more numer-
Gus. 1t is practically useless to arrest the very
small offenders, because no magistrate will fine
them. The only remedy in such cases is to
confiscate the slungshots and depend on the
good being done in the public schools, where
special attention is given to teaching young
sters the value of songhirds and the cruelty
involved in their destruction"
Since taking the above action Mr.. Dennis
has resigned his Office of secretary ofthe Mary
land Game and Fish Protective Association
on account of the pressure of other matters.
Mr. George Dobbin Penniman is the new
president Of the association.
