leF's Request.

Milk win be soon selling at rs or
10 cents a quart in Washington.
This was forecast this afternoon
when the Maryland Virginia Mix
Producers Association, despite the
arguments put up by DR.. William c.
Fowler, District health officer, that
they sell milk for 20 cents a gallon,
decided they would charge A cents q
gallon.
DR.. Fowler, after the producers as
sociation made known its purpose,
said he would take drastic steps"
More than twenty-five dairymen at
tended the meeting, which was held
IN the Board Room OF the District
building at IL o'clock this morning.
The dairymen pointed out that Il
costs s cents more a gallon to pro
duce milk in the winter than in the
summer. They said the actual cost
Of producing, including profit on in
Vestment, amounts to ~ 40 cents a
gallon
daiFymen said, to charge As cents a
gallon, but they stated they would
be willing to drop to - cents.
One OF the dsirymen made a lengthy
statement in which he showed the
increased cost Of production.
He state grain had increased in
cost twenty-five per cent during the
last twelve months and asserted
dairymen are INTO making a reason
able profit on the sale Of milk.
IF they pay US a cents q gallon"
the farmer said, "they can very easily
sell II at II cents a quart. Figure
hat II cents a quart means 6s cents
a gallon, or gross profit OF "a cents
q gallon. It is practically impossible
for US to charge less than a cents"
DT. Fowler pointed out that milk
IN Philadelphia is now retailing at
18 cents q quart.
