WILL SUBMIT ITS PLAN
FOR milk DISTRIBUTION
Maryland and Virginia Associa.
tion's Proposal Going Before
Gov. Brumbaugh's Commission.

The plan suggested by the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Associ-
alton for centralizing the distribution
of milk in Washington and thereby re-
ducing the cost of deliveries is to be
laid before the interstate commission
on the milk question appointed by Gov.
Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania when 1t
meets in Philadelphia, 1t was learned
today. The milk question, owing to
the demand on the part of the pro-
ducers for increased prices for their
milk and the refusal of the distrib-
uters to pay more. has caused such a
stir in that state that the governor has
appointed a commission to consider
the matter. The commission Is COM
posed Of representatives Of Pennsylva-
MIA, Maryland, Delaware and the other
states from which Philadelphia and
other Pennsylvania cities draw their
supplies.
Maryland Member Interested.
G.. H. Afford, the agent for Maryland
for the Department of Agriculture in
cooperative extension work among the
farmers. was appointed by the COVER
nor to represent Maryland on this
commission. He called at the head
quarters of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association yesterday
afternoon and discussed with members
of the executive committee the s.tua-
ton as regards Washington, and pa,
ticularly the remedy which has been
suggested by the Producers Associa-
ton. He expressed approval of the plan
and said that he intended to lay /. be-
fore the interstate commission when it
meets in Philadelphia.
Rumored Reduction Not Credited.
A report that dairymen in Washing
ton were considering the advisability
of reducing the price of grade B milk
cents a quart was not given much
credence by the milk producers today.
They pointed out that the milk dealers
here were claiming that they were just
barely making a living out of their
business, and that they could not pay
more to the milk producers for their
product.
Inquiry among the dairymen also
failed to confirm this report. The
dairymen insist that they cannot afford
to pay the producers higher prices, and
the idea of reducing the cost of milk
still further. with the understanding
that the purchasers Of such milk
should call for 1t themselves. was not
looked upon with favor.
