MILK AT WHOLESALE TOO CHEAP

The dairymen claim that the milk
they are sending to New Orleans at
|2sh cents. only realizes 2ts cents per
gallon profit, without allowing for over
head charges, and as the milk at retail
brings 30 cents per gallon in that city,
Il appears In order for the mlddlemeh
OF that city to do some explaining to

dollars and cents. II Is possible that
these dealers can explain without co
