Milk is going up in Ohio.

Hhat was the conviction expressed
outside the meeting hall when pro-
ducers gathered in the capital city for
sessions Of the second annual dairy
marketing conferences of the United
States, held in connection with the
National Dairy show
Word of conditions fOrecasting Q
substantial increase of present retail
prices was brought from different sec
tions of the state, the outstanding de-
velopment being direct reports OF
/ producers selling off cows by thou
sands because of inability to get eff
cient labor high cost of feed and un-
certainty about prices.
milk prices are going up or the
cows are going"
This was the unqualified assertion
of H. w. Ingersoll of Elyria, presi-
dent of the Northern Ohio Milk Pro-
ducers' association, in talking of the
situation outside the meeting.
One of the subjects taken up was
the question of how milk producers
may organize and in legal way have
something to say about prices without
fear of running afoul of the antitrust
law.
Producers the country over are
waiting to hear from Herbert c.
Hoover and his federal food adminis-
tration at Washington regarding
prices on the basis of figures on cost
Of production submitted to Hoover by
producers.
Ingersoll bore out his statement OF
COWS being sold by declaring that he
himself is selling II and that through
northern Ohio counties and the Cleve-
land district other farmers and pro-
ducers are doing the same thing on
a larger scale.
state milk association official
from Cincinnati substantiated Inger-
soils report with the assertion that
$4,000 cows were recently offered for
sale through northern Ohio sections.
IngeTsoll in the afternoons session
proposed a national, disinterested
board to establish publicly the cost to
producers of putting milk on the
, market.
"The whole thing is a question OF
COSTS" he said afterward The con-
sumer is perfectly willing to pay a
fair price for his milk if he is shown
the cost and understands it.
Something definite on cost and
real understanding of the situation
will in itself help keep prices down. 1t
