THE COST OF PRODUCING MILK
Boston Chamber of Commerce
Trying to Find Figures.
Farmers In Vicinity Of burlington of
the Opinion Tint They DO Not
Make both Ends Meet nt
Present Prices.

The hearing conducted by the Boston
chamber of Commerce In this city Tues
day, which was one of the series being
conducted in the New England states for
the purpose of ascertaining the cost OF
producing milk was the largest Of the
four held in'the state. Thcre were over
three hundred people present mostly far
mers In this section of the country. which
indicates that there Is much interest in
this subject and that II Is of vital impor-
tance to them
There were present at the hearing,
which was held in the city hall instead of
at Morrill, hall, as at first intended, John

ton Chamber Of Commerce, Lyon Wey-

Producers association state Commits
sioner Of Agriculture f S. Brigham of
st Albans and " ~ Cady of Middle
bury. master of the state grange
The idea Of the hearing and Of all the
hearings. the one In Burlington being the
18th held in New England is to gather
data on the cost Of milk production, with
view to a report to be made In April
giving an impartial account Of the cost
of production, transportation facilities
and distribution of milk. The New Eng
land Chamber of Commerce and the New
England Milk Producers association have
I taken up the question in response to the
many protests of farmers that the prices
| paid for milk were too low to afford
a reasonable profit after paying necessary
! expenses.
Mr.. circuit, assistant secretary of the
| Chamber of Commerce, gave an interest
/ ing hi ! Try Of the milk industry In New
England, particularly the shipments OF
milk to Boston. There has been vast
! change in conditions over 10 years ago
when milk was shipped to Boston from
! points only within a radius of one hundred
miles Of that city. Now il comes from
much Snger distances and Vermont Is
among the other States TO notice de-
cline in the dairylng industry. Mr. circuit
called attention to the modern methods
of pasteurizing milk to the refrigeration
OF cars which carry milk, etc. all OF
which are new factors in transportation,
distribution and cost. The people of cit
les now demand that their milk supply
shall he as good rs their supply Of water.
He also showed several charts which in
dicated the sources of milk supply.
