 milk, for two months and 36 cents Tor the same size can beginning next month and continuing until May f. The farmers demurred to this and de- n,anded q rate of 42 cents for the en- tire period. Monday word was received from the Providence MILK Car associa- ton offering the men 45 cents for the entire period and asking them to get as much milk as possible to the cars at that figure Almost simutaneouslv came an offer of 4 cents per 10 quart can from the Providence Dairy assO- citation and Monday a car to receive milk at that figure was sent out by the latter organization.
