The milk producers of eastern Con- necticut, including shippers from the neighborhood of Plainfield and the ad- jacent section, have for the most part agreed to the terms offered by the Providence dealers, deeming it better to await the attitude of the Boston dealers in October when contracts will he made for the winter months than to withhold consent at this time. A can vass of the territory shows that 365 dairies in Connecticut send 49,0O4 quarts of milk to Providence each day out of a total supply of S3,391 quarts The Connecticut producers furnish 13,O00 quarts of milk more each day than is supplied by the Rhode Island farmers living between the Rhode Island line and Providence.
