Half Cent, and Everybody Loses
Investigators Announce That New Rate Distributors Will
Run at Loss-Dairymen 1t Is Said Will Suffer
Deficit of y Cents Per Hundred Pounds

The Federal Food Board issued yes
terday. for the United States Food
Administration, the schedule Of milk
prices whish will prevail during No
vembcr. They show an average in
crease of about one-half a cent per
quart on each grade listed. The prices
were reached at Il conference in Wash
ington and tclegraphed to the Board
here by DR.. Clyde l.. King. of the
Food Administration.
The prices, which are fixed on the
basic price TO producers of 1881 per
100 pounds of per cent milk in the
$50 mile zone, are as follows: Grade
a. bottled milk, delivered, 1S cents a
quart and II cents n pint; Grade E.
bottled and delivered, 16 cents a quart
and 10 cents a rnt; loose milk by
stores, Grade Il, 13 cents quart, or
12% cents quart when bought in
quantities over ten gallons.
Distributors Lose Money.
The board states that q thorough
examination Of the accounts of milk
distributors shows that they have lost
money on milk distribution during
October and will lose during Novcm-
Der.
"Thc distributors" according to the
Boards statement. "accept these prices
rather than have further increase
IN the cost to the consumer, which
would be likely to result in decreased
consumption"
The price of Grade 3 milk at 10
cents : pint when the cost of quart
is fixed at l6 cents is explained by the
board as due to the fact that the same
overhead costs attach to the bottline
and delivering of both quantities. The
public Is urged to purchase quart bot
Ties in preference to pints whenever
possible.
The price to tho producers Of 1881
per 100 pounds means a cost Of ap-
proX'mately nine cents a quart to the
distributors. To this must be added
The cost of distribution, transportation,
bottllng, delivery and overhead cx-
