PRICE OF MILK TO GO UP
Brattleboro Producers VIII Charge
More After October rs.

Brattleboro, Sept 3O-Announce-
ment of an increase in the wholesale
price of milk in Brattleboro to SO into
effect October Is was made today by
w. l.. Sylvester, president of the Brat.
tleboro Milk Producers association.
Mr. Sylvester said that the price
charged to retailers by the producers
would be advanced from six cents a
quart to seven cents quart and that
the price Of cream to retailers would
be advanced from 40 cents a quart to
45 cents a quart.
The reason, Mr.. Sylvester said,
we're the increased cost of COWS, la
Dor and grain and the loss of large
proportion of the ensilage by the re-
cent freeze. He said it was not
known whether the retailers would
advance their price, which in most
instances is nine cents for milk in the
can and 10 cents for bottled milk, but
that it was presumed that they would
charge cent more besides increas-
ing the retail price for cream.
