He Tells What Milk Costs

That it costs the farmer SIS;
and more per hundred pounds te
produce milk. is the statement made
this month by James NJ. Mcbride
Michigan Director of Markets.
"The cost figures for milk pro-
luced by twenty-five herds in the
vicinity of Howell, Livingston Coun-
Y, Michigan. during the months OF
March and April OF this year show
that the average cost for each 100
pounds of milk for March was $1.S3
and for the month of April $1.S4,"
says Mcbride. THE twenty-five
nerds for the March invesi igations
included 487 cows and for the April
Investigations 523 cows. The .ig-
nres were obtained as the result I
observations and measurements
made by field investigators from
the Michigan Agricultural College.
1.-The selling figures for milk sold
" the owners of the herds for the
same months are also available
raey are, March, s1.52, Apri'. ST.
a. The loss to the growers was
therefore, 81 cents for each 100
rounds for March, and 40 cents
Tor each 100 pounds for April.
'The average total cost of ravh
;ow was 1899 fo,. april and the
,verage yield for each COW was 679
pounds.
"One reason that the dairy in
lUstry can prevail under such un-
favorable conditions is because
large part of the labor cost is un-
paid overtime, and unpaid woman
ind child labor"
