SHORT PARTIAL
FAMINE FEARED
Only Use of Condensed Milk from
West Prevents Great Need,
Says Dealer.

PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
Wholesalers Forced to Pay In
creased Price, but Do Not
Raise Rates.

Were 1t not for the supply of con-
densed milk from the Western States"
said Frederick Seller. of Seller Brothers,
milk dealers. of this city, today. the
condition of the milk situation In the
Eastern section would be very serious.
At the present time the demand is 30
great and the supply so small hat we
are in great danger of a partial milk
famine" :
The Eastern milk supply comes from
New Jersey, New York. Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and Massachusetts. The
farmers have been so closely watched
by the health authorities In many in
their milk to the creamerles TO be us-d
IN making butter and, cheese, rather
than sending 1t to the Greater New
York markets, which Include Phila-
delphia, Newark and Boston.
At a recent meeting held In New York
city the Wholesale Milk Dealers OF
Greater New York, which includes the
five States previously mentioned. held
an open meeting and allowed the States
Of Maryland and Vermont to be heard.
All the work vas discussed. and the
wholesale dealers decided that the
farmers were deserving of an Increase
during the warm weather. The increase
was fixed at ore-half a cent per. quart.
This means twenty centsamore n can,
The dealers from New York city at
then pay more, but this proposition was
down, and the price for the
present remains the same. The n
crease to the farmer is 20 per cent, as
he was formerly receiving 81 per can,
and now gets s1.21. The cost to the
Wholesale dealer, with this new In
crease, is s1.s5. but they have decided
to even cut this figure ard II at Sl.So.
They figure their expenses as follows:
Price to farmers, s1.20; freight per can,
80 cents; washing cans. including labor,
10 cents; can service. 5 cents; handling
milk. ice, etc. is cents, Total, $1,So.
This is the net amount. and, to assist
the poor, he five cents charged FOR can
service was stricken out. This is the
price throughout the New York centre.
The Board of Health of this City a
been very active In looking after the
milk, and is using all EFFORTS to sea that
milk distributed about this city Is up
the standard. There has bten very
few cases in which less than 3 Per cent.
of fats have been found and In which
there was not more than II per cent. OF
solids. hTe farmers and milkmen IN
realize that when milk II con-
terminated 1t will not keep as we'll, thus
almost conclusive evidence that
something is wrong. The price OF milk
will be about the same until II first OF
September. when another meeting VIII
be held to determine the price. IS
