South Bends milk supply is but
so per cent of the demand, accord
ing TO information received as a re-
suit of a canvass of milk dealers in
the city Even at the new price,
farmers cannot afford TO furnish
milk, since they can get more
money for the feed either by selling
it outright or selling the beef instead
of the milk, say authorities.
That the shortage cannot be more
than - per cent is the opinion of
the city milk Inspector. This esti-
mate is based on information receiV-
ed during the past few weeks. we
must realize" says Mr.. Grippe. that
much of the milk from this territory
is being shipped into Chicago. where
they are paying higher prices. This
too affects the local situation"
promises Probe.

ton of an alleged milk trust
which. according 10 advices from In

prices is illegal. and unless there is

Because the new milk ordinance
has not as yet been enforced TO any

has had anything TO do with the
raise in price So far the work has
