given there by the five leading pack

Federal Trade Commission were viru-

AN example Of the unreliability of
the packers testimony" he said, "is
their statement that the Federal Trade
Commission never gave them an op-
portunlty to state their side of the
case during the investigation. The
truth is no packer requested at any
time to be heard. If such a request
had been made the commission surely
would have granted it. However, the
packers knew they would be sworn,
and in that event they would have to
waive immunity from further prosecu-
ton, and they did not desire to do
this"

the investigation would be along in

In view of the present situation re-
latlng to the cost of milk, the following
data should be of interest: On recent
investigation among 10000 dairy farms.
1T developed that the average milk pro
ductlon per farm was 86,86O pounds, or
10000 gallons. Fifty per cent of all
TINS milk is hauled to the creamery;
20 per cent to the milk depot; 12 per
cent to the cheese factory; 10 per cent
10 tne condensery, and 3 per cent. is
cared for at home
Take. for example, the so per cent
or 5000 gallons, that is hauled to the
creamery. The average distance to the
creamery the dairy farmer must travel
IS three and one-half miles, or seven
miles for the round trip which must
be made 3G5 days in the year. This
means d yearly total Of 2555 miles. To
make this daily trip with horse and
wagon requires an average of two and
one-half hours, counting time spent
at the creamery. or for the year q
total of 9l2 1-2 hours, or ninety one
tenhour days.
In making this haul. 40 per cent use
single horse; 60 per cent use team.
and in either case the farmer himself
tie hired man, son, or some other
member of the family, must accompany
the milk wagon In the course of the
year there is lost to 60 per cent of the
farmers the services of man and two
horses for ninety-one days, amounting
to several hundred dollars.
With REQ speed wagon the haul
ing time is reduced from two and one
half hours to thirty minutes. for the
year 1872 ID hours, or less than nine
teen ten-hour days-a yearly saving
of seventytwo days for the man and
the services of one or two horses, as
the case may be. for ninety-one days.
Reliable statistics as furnished by
various agricultural stations show
the average cost per month for one
man and team, including up-keep, de-
probation, insurance, etc, as SOB, or
for threemonth period. $500. The
operating cost per mile of the speed
wagon, including all up-keep, tires, de-
probation, insurance. etc, is $.092;
for 2,555 miles, $4,000.
The truck would cost S7294 less to
operate. and a great saving would be
in the mans time for seventy-two davs
and the team for ninety-one days,
which, during the present shortage of
labor, would amount to a considerable
sum in addition to the service of the
truck for the other 346 days in the
year.
