LETTERS TO THE EDIT01
The Miikn1an's Position.

Mr.. Editor: 1t seems to me that your
correspondent, signing himself or her
self "A Subscriber is entirely unfair
and unjust to the milkmen, in calling
uDon the housewives of Norwich to
lessen their quantity of milk used, in
order to bring down the price of milk.
The Subscriber blames the mi1kmen
for a possible shortage of milk in the
families of the poor. which indeed
might become a reality, if a large
number of our producers were driven
out of business, through the short
sightedness of such as he or (she).
nlilkmen of Norwich to take from the
poor man more than is just and right.
He simply asks for enough to pay his
bills and support his family, and UNI
less he can get this out of his business
he will have to quit and the public
will have to pay still more account
of a shortage of milk.
The Subscriber makes very mis-
leading sta tement of the selhshness Of
the milkmen. by comparing a former
wholesale price with the proposed re-
tail price of milk.
The milkmen have plainly shown
their customers the necessity of adj
vancing the price of milk to meet the
constantly increasing price of grain
and other supplies that go with the
business, and it seems utterly unrea-
sonable, to expect them to deliver their
product at former prices under pres
ent conditions.
At this time when the government
is calling upon the farmer to make
every effort possible to raise food it
seems n little inconsistent, when he
has made that effort and seeks to mar
ke: his product, 70 be met by such
hostile sentiments as expressed by "a
Subscriber"
Respectfully,
A MILK PRODUCER.

The High Price of Mix.

Mr.. Editor: Mill<men who are charg-
ing IL cents Il quart for milk ought
to be able to tell exactly why they
are charging It.
N1ilkmen living distant from cities
are striving to get from to lie
cents a quart as satisfactory COM
pensation; and those living in the
milk distributing zone of cities have
been receiving the year round cents
a quart. or 100 per cent. more than
satisfies the interior milk producers
The Norwich milzmen have raised
their price 10 per cent. since last
September-20 per cent. having been
added as the new grass season opens
when the cost of producing milk usual
ly cheapens.
The old-fashioned nilkmen used to
lessen the price of milk II 2-3 per
cent. in April and increase it IT 2?
per cent. in September when thsy be-
gan to feed grain.
Customers who are buying Tror1
to quarts of milk a day can easily
get along with less. These custom
ers are now given 8 quarts for a dol
lar.
Whew!

THE UPBUILDING OF THE NEW
HAVEN.

The opening of May marks the
change in the management OF the New
Haven road which can be expected as
the result OF President Pearson, who
has had long and extensive expert
ence on western lines. stepping into
the offfco from which Howard Elliott
has resigned after giving four years
of hard work in adjusting the mud
died situation OF this important trans
portation system.
AS has been said before Mr.. Elliott
has done much FOR the New Haven. 1t
cannot be said ~ be back on it's feet
again because there are still many
problems which remain to be worked
out but Mr.. Elliott has made an excel
lent beginning. During his regime he
has been called upon to face many
new and serious situations, SONS Of
which were not apparent at the time
he undertook his task, but they are
solvable and there is good reason for
believing, from his ability. his l1now1
edge Oh railroads and the peculiar con-
ditions which surround the New Ha-
ven and the insight which he has
gained into its affairs during chs year
he has been connected Herewith that
President Pearson can be relied upon
to continue the efficient direction of
the road where Mr.. Elliott as presi-
dent leaves off.
p The legislatures of the states in
which this system operates have been
frankly told what must be done to
aid the road if it is going to do for
these states what is expected ana
what it wants to- There is evidence
already that they are convinced of
the need of such action and with the
states cooperating in rendering assist
ance and the people doing their part
as they have in the past several years
the upbuilding of the system will
surely and steadily result. That Is
what New England wants and that
is what it must aid in.
