obtained by members of the New Eng
land Milk Producers association and the
| Dairymen's League is causing some Of the
largest city buyers to change their sources
of supply with what may be disastrous
result to some of the milk producers in
New England. Milk for the month of
August, furnished to Boston by the New
England people, has been increased one
half cent per quart. so that 1t sells for
ten cents per quart, delivered in Boston.

cwt. for certain grade of milk in New
England it is but 1888 from the Dairy
mems League. The government officers
learn that many OF the largest buyers
are going to New York State for theil
milk or are going to other places within
a limit where they can get the milk al
the lower price 1t is feared that this
