Government Man Present TO Help
Situation, Which Promises
Better Supply.

At a Joint meeting Of the Milk Pro-
elucers Association and the Retail Dealer
Association. held in the offices of the
United States Food Administration IN the
Equitable Building last night Dr. Clyde
l.. King, the Government milk expert,
predicted that Wilmington eventually
will have a better grade OF milk and that
there would be fewer milk dealers.
DIR: King thoroughly explained the
system prevailing in other cities and how
the method of selling milk by butter fat
test had worked out In Philadelphia
two wears ago, he stated there were over
two thousand milk dealers, today only
q few over one hundred
The new method Of test has a ten

was said, but produces a better grade
of milk.
The meeting last night lasted for nearly
three hours, each side sparring for some
advantage At 1890 O'Clock DR. King
called the dealers from the room and
ascertained their views rs 70 prices
In their absence The producers hurriedly
got together and unanimously decided
that they would hold out for the Phlladel-
pha price. which IS s cents per quart
on a 4 per cent basis.
After the dealers and producers came
together il seemed for timc they would
not agree but they were finally prevailed
upon to accept Dr. Kings suggestion
which was that the dealers are 20 pay
s cents per quart for milk for tho first
fifteen DAYS OF September and during the
latter half Of the month sl2 cents. or
cent less than the Philadelphia price
DIR. King stated that he would send
to this cit unknown 10 any one here
except Mr. Mitchell. an expert milk
tester who is working for the Food Ad-
ministration The result OF the test
! will have considerable bearing on the
regulations to be adopted at the next
meeting, which is to be held prior 10

an expert accountant to this city for
the purpose Of ascertaining she cost of
