"NEMPA" SAYS MILK MUST 60 UP
y Farmers Should Charge 7 or o
Cents For II, Delivered to
Stations"

Sentiment developed at mass meet
ings of milk producers all over New
England Monday was unanimous that
there was imperative necessity of an
immediate increase in the price of milk
at the farms, The farmers generally
throughout New England even exceeded
the estimate made in Addison county.
ut will be impossible" says the N.
h. M. ?. A., "under the present high
cost of grain, the scarcity of labor and
general war time conditions, to induce
farmers to continue their dairy herds
unless they receive 7c or Sc per quart
for milk, delivered at railroad stations.
The price Of milk will probably be in
creased to the consumers correspond
ingly,
'The producers believe the cost Of
producing milk will increase greatly
during the next six months. According
to reports from Washington, the Allies
are in desperate need of more of our
food supplies from this country and the
railroads may be granted an increase in
reight rates, In the latter case the
New England farmers get hit both
ways; first, by the additional cost of
feed for herds; and, second, because of
the higher rate to get the product to
market. If a 10 per cent increase in
freight rates is granted the railroads, it
will cost the farmer about one-half cent
on every quart Of milk produced
ON many sections of New England
farmers find already that it is more
profitable to feed milk to swine, for
which they receive 20 cents per pound,
than to ship it to Boston in cans for the
price now being paid. Farmers at the
mass meetings Monday declared their
patriotism, but felt there was no call
for them to produce food at a loss, un-
less like requirement prevailed among
other producers, manufacturers, bank
ers and merchants.

Permits Bringing Into State:
One Quart Of Liquor Per
Month-Other Bills.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 81
Ninety days from today West Virginia
will be under new prohibition regpla-
tions. In the House OF Delegates late
today, by vote Of Sc to 5. the meas
ure devised by the legislative COM
mittees. on prohibition the anti.saloon
and similar forces, together with com.
missioner of prohibition, was passed
to become a law It only awaits the
signature OF the governor.
The Senate passed this same Dill,
its No. 116 on January rs, and tne
House today substituted It for house
Bill 1876, which was identical with tnat
which received decided majority In
the Senate.
A number OF amendments were or
fered, but on none Of them was there
more than twenty delegates in favor
of making any changes, the prevalent
feeling being admitted that to begin to
amend would possibly cripple the
measure in such a manner that It
would not pass the Senate when,
amended as proposed, It would neceS.
sarily be introduced there again.
Delegate Harvey, chairman OF tho
House. committee on prohibition and
temperance, was the most consletens
champion OF the bill as 1t was intro.
duced, and opposed every Amendment
offered with vigor.
Asked Four ouartA
The first proposed amendment was
that Mr.. Weiss OF Ohio county, pro-
yiding for the carrying into state OF
four quarts of whiskey instead OF one
when the container was labelled with
large English letters. Mr.. Terrell.
suggested opposition because he SAID
I'VE have had a sample OF the Labelled
liquor problem during the last year
, or So" This amendment was lost by
vote of 81 to 4. The second amend.
ment was also offered by M1 Weiss,
calling for the elimination Of one OF
the salient paragraphs In the olll. Tnis
was lost decisively. Mr.. Bray or
Greenbrler, offered number OF
amendments which would make the
bill permit OF neither tho shipment
! nor carrying into the state, or from
| one place 10 another within the state,
of any quantity Of intoxicants what
soeyer.
MIR. Akens, Of Marion, asked Mr.
Harvey why the committee wished to
have the one quart clause In the bill,
and Mr.. Harvey replied with the ques.
tion why are all the whiskey men
seeking to have the one quart clause
removed from the measure?"
Mr.. Sweeney, Of Wood, who said ne
made his campaign partially on a
strictly prohibition platform, spoke IN
favor Of the Bray amendment, saying
that it provided for real prohibition,
and that had this amendment not been
offered he would have offered one with
practically the same provisions. The
delegates voting against the bill were
Weiss, Carter, Emsley, Otto and Whit
aker.
Other Measures.
The committee on humane instltu.
tions reported unfavorably on tho bill
