ducers' association be adopted.
About May local milk distributors
have usually dropped the price of
milk I to 2 cents q quart. Octo-

the price last year because OF the
increased cost. of production, they

Many things enter into the in

Is unjustined and unreasonable IL the
statement of H. L. Alden. proprietor
