Milk Prices.

Milk may be high but the prices
now are mere bagateiic to what
they may be before the end Of the
war. The product of the one-tlme
humble bossy may go as nigh as %
to 30 cents quart if the world-con-
nict is long protracted.
This is the opinion fo many OF the
delegates to the international Asso-
citation of Dairy and Milk Inspectors,
who today are on their way back to
homes in this country and Canada,
following the close Of their three
day convention in Washington.
DR.. r. A. Pearson, assistant sec
rctary of agriculture. told the con-
vention that if milkmen were get
ting returns just comparative with
other producers of the country. they
would now be charging between 10
and 20 cents quart.
