NO INCREASE IN
CITY MILK Price
Is Cents a Quart to be the
Local Price for the
Present
FIND WATER IN
FARMERS SAMPLES

Following a conference In the office
Of Edmund Mitchell, State Food Admin
istrator on Saturday afternoon betweeI
representatives OF the Milk Producers
Association and the Retail Dealers As
sociation and Dr.. Clyde L. King, gov.
ernment expert and Major Mitchell, Il
was announced that for the present
the price Of milk to the consumer here
will remain at - cents a quart II was
announced at this meeting that the
quality Of some milk being delivered ir
this city was very poor, being heavily
watered and low in butter fats
The government expert who had in.
vestigated the local milk situation re-
ported that Of 400 samples OF milk
tested, 81 from dealers and 3Ss from
| producers.
| In testing for water in milk, there
were 60 samples examined that showed
water. or these four taken from deal
ers showed water. while 6i taken from
farmers showed the same adulterant.
or samples taken, i79 examined show
ed butter fats above per cent OF
these 10 were from dealers and i67
from farmers.
But the chief thought Of the investl-
cation was TO determine the average
Of the milk tested. and this showed
that the general amount Of butter fats
was 80 per cent. Philadelphia prices
are based on a certain sum for per
cent. milk, and another price for less
than that amount
Some OF the samples showed won
derful milk in the way OF butter fats.
Some were as high as Sc per cent,
while other milk was wretched, show
ing far below per cent. Dr.. King
stated that 80 milk was fine milk, and
as a rule, better than IS being served
in the larger cities.
Dr. King explained that science en-
abled the investigators to determine
through the specific gravity lost how
much water should be in milk and
how much Is added by man.
The price to the farmer is to ad-
vanced TO s 10 cents from September
IS TO October T. Beginning October
tho Wilmington farmers will get the
same price I. o. b. Wilmington as In
Philadelphia and for the remaining
six months the farmer will receive
one-half cent less T. 0. b. Wilmington
than the price T. o. b. Philadelphia
This understanding Is subject TO an
other conference at any time at the re-
quest OF either farmers or dealers. The
Philadelphia price TO the farmer Is
reached by a conference between farm
ers and dealers with representatives OF
the food administration.
The food administration approved
the new prices on pints because the
cost Of handling pints is larger than
handling quarts. The cost Of bottles is
larger. At seven cents a pint the deal
ers are losing money on pints. Con-
sumers are asked to use quarts instead
Of pints. II a driver Is out OF quart
bottles and the consumer asks for a
quart OF milk, the driver must leave
two pint bottles at thirteen cents. But
IL the consumer asks for two pint bot
ties the price is 7 i-2 cents a pint
bottle.

The county committee will canvass
the vote on Wednesday.
In addition t0Sthe county offices there
were also several keen f,ghts for Leg
slative Offices and Levy Court Com
missioners. While the returns are suf-
fcient 10 show who won the various
fights, because OF districts from the
rural county not being in the official
figures, giving the exact majorities will
not be known until the vote Is can
vaSsed.
One OF the most interesting lights IN
the city was the contest for State Sen
ator In the frst Senatorial district,
which was won by ely Councilman
James w. Robertson, by plurality OF
$40. His opponents were Thomas Pee
ney and Senator Jsmes p. Hickman.
Isaac r. Brown, for register OF wills,
won the nomination over his opponent,
Julian C, Walker, by majority OF
ioi5 on the face OF the returns.
The run OF Furman @. Cole for re-
oorder OF deeds was surprising TO the
lsynan politician. Mr. Cole was sup
ported by his large number OF friends
among the young voters, and won ov6c
his opponent James Bogue, by a ma
lority OF ssi.
In the fight for sheriff, Crossland
seemed TO be the man UP TO Friday
night but there was a switch TO Reu-
ben Hall, and he carried the city by
4 majority OF S6s votes. However, In
the county Crossland was the stronger
and with ten Districts missing he has
eso majority. The missing districts
