Small Profit to Producers.

the great majority of milk-produclng
farmers are making little or no money
out of their work, and there also is lit
tie doubt that investigation would
show that the distributors are making
only moderate profits. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that the way to remedy
the situation is to pay more money to
the farmer and then pass the burden
on to the shoulders of the general pub
lie. This might be the correct solution
but for the fact that there is an ap-
palling amount of economic waste in
the milk industry all along the line,
from the beginnings at the farm to the
end at the home of the consumer.
Let us note some of the waste at the
farmers end of the business. First of
all there are comparatively few farms
where the dairy herd is one of known
quality and quantity. On hundreds of
farms there is still to be found the old
time dairy COW. known as the 'boarder.'
