PRICE OF MILK UP
Producers Raise to 1914 Cents; Retailers
Will Act Tonight.

Along with the general soaring in the
prices of necessary commodities comes
the raise in the price of milk, which,
thanks TO the farmers, has been held off
longer than customary. At the special
meeting Of Barre local, N. f. NJ. P. A.,
held in Worthen hall Saturday evening,
largely attended by producers furnishing
milk locally, the price OF milk to the
dealer was agreed upon at l0H cents a
quart, raise of ~ cents to the pro-
ducer, effective Oct l6. The opinion of
several was that the farmer should get
at least ii cents per quart, but when
all matters were taken into considera-
tion the price was set at 1917 cents in
order to keep the price to the consumer
within reason, which the producer ex-
pected to oe l5 cents, or raise of two
cents over the present price, which is I3
cents per quart.
When it is remembered that the farm
er is experiencing severe losses by sub
hitting his cattle to the recent tuber-
cullen test requirement, consumers will
heartily approve of the small advance
which they ask In regard to the test,
most Of the producers attending Satur-
days meeting were IN sympathy with
the move as being essential although
many were undergoing large losses. The
producers reported a grievance with the
Barre city council relative to the extern
sion of the time for testing herds The
ordinance as originally passed required
all herds to be tested by Jan. ] and
without notice as to reason for extend
ing time, the date was set ahead to
April /, 1920, giving the advantage to
those who have not already made ar.
rangements for the test. The commit
tee named includes A. L. Smith and
A. f. Bruce from the producers and
Charles Faulkner representing the deal
ers. They will appear before the coun-
cilmen.
A meeting of the dealers is called for
tonight, at which time the price to the
consumer will be made, which, as before
stated, is expected to be Is cents per
quart

Steamer Port Chalmers Is Not
Burning.

Boston, Oct l3-Anxiety about the
British steamer Port Chalmers, which
was reported on fire at sea Saturday
night, was dispelled to-day when radio
message from the coast guard cutter
Acushnet said that the Port Chalmers
was not in any trouble but was proceed
ing with two other vessels to the assist
ance of the wooden steamer Ammonoo-
sic, which was leaking fore and aft and
would be in danger of sinking if her
pumps gave out. The naval communica-
tions office here ascribed the report that
the Port Chalmers was burning to con-
fusion of messages, one of which said
that she was sending up rockets.
1t was believed here that the Acushnet
would keep ON and endeavor to assist
the Ammonoosic although the exact To-
cation of the disabled vessel was in
doubt, three different positions having
been given in radio messages that have
reached the navy yard. All the posi-
tions given were said to be not more
than 20 or 80 miles from that of the
Port Chalmers.
