QUART PRICE OF MILK
TO Be FOURTEEN CENT
Producers Allowed Advance of Four
Gents the Gallon. Which Is
Paid Nv Consumer.

Announcement was made yesterday
of the readjustment of the price of
milk by which the distributing agen-
cies win pay the producers thirty four
cents the gallon and the price TO the
consumers will he fourteen cents the
quart and seven and one-half cents
the pint.
In other words. the advance that
has been agreed on to be paid the
producer. four cents the gallon, is
added to the retail price. Prices
which have heretofore prevailed have
been thirty cents the gallon to the
producers, while the consumers have
been paying thirteen cents the quart
and seven cents the pint. These fig
ures cover what is known as grade b
milk. For grade A the price is If
teen cents the quart and eight cents
the pint.
These prices become effective to-
morrow, November /. and are in the
nature of compromise. The pro-
ducers at their recent meeting pre-
scented official figures showing that it
costs them thirty-one and one-half
cents the gallon TO produce milk.
They asked that the price paid them
be advanced to thirty-flve cents the
gallon Their demand is met, minus
one cent.
These figures were fixed with the
approval of Chief Dairy Inspector T.
j. Strauch, who Is of the opinion that
the new schedule of prices will work
no hardship on anyone and will aid
the producers In meeting the extreme
ly serious problems of high feed and
labor costs. At their meeting held
Monday night the dairymen agreed to
contribute SIS month to aid in sup
plying the needy of the city with
milk, the contribution to continue for
the period OF four months.

thing for Italy. but as the most valu-

he then appealed to the allies for help.
The allies had decided that attention
must be concentrated upon the west

left with supplies exhausted, her arm
