TO CUT MILK PRICE.
Rutland County Producers Had Long
Discussion First.

Rutland, Feb. h. About 90 members
Of the Rutland County Mix Producers
association met at The Bardwell yester-
day and talked over milk prices. Presi-
dent NJ L. Thomas Of Rutland called
the meeting to order at 10:30 o'clock
and he addressed the gathering on the
general milk situation
Mr. Thomas had had interviews with
several creamery men and found that
there was general complaint Of cut
down in the consumption Of milk since
the wholesalers had raised the price
from SIPS to Sl.75 per hundred pounds
and the retailers had consequently put
up their prize to seven cents quart
Mr.. Thomas thought that if the present
price was maintained III the spring when
the supply of milk is much greater tnan
now the farmers would have to resort
20 shipping out Of the state to get rid
OF their product because Of the decrease
N consumption growing out Of the high
price
After q long discussion the associa-
tion voted To leave the entire matter of
oHtting the price With the executive
committee, consisting Of n. j CAVITY,
p. j Kellogg and B. L. Cramton The
committee later suggested that the
price to retailers be reduced to Sl25
per hundred pounds April /, this
schedule to last six months The asso-
citation adopted the suggestion.
