Exclude Middlemen'S Profits, Says
 Healey

A simplified system of marketing to exclude the middemen's profits was proposed last week by Leonard H. Healy, state commissioner oi agricul- ture of Connecticut, as a reduction in the cost of high living problem.
 "Milk in Connecticut, he said, ssgoes to the contractor for cents per quart, and upon reaching the consum- CT it had advanced in price to s cents. What is true of milk is true of other household necessities coming from the farm. The business man and the farmer just must agree upon some method of lessening the cost of de- livery.
 A reduction of 20 per cent. on prices now paid must be realized. At the same time the farmer will get twenty five per cent. more than he is now re- ceiving if the problem of efficient de- livery is solved.p
