CLAIM DEALER
IS CAUSE HIGH
COST OF MILK
In Statement Today County Farmers
Point Out Difference Betw cen
the Prices.

In a statement issued from the
office of the Rock Island county
farm bureau today, producers OF
milk advance the claim that the
present high cost Of the commodity
cannot be charged against them in
view Of the wide variance between
the amount they receive and that
which the ultimate consumer has to
pay.
Distributors Of milk in Rock Is
land are making far more profit
out Of the farmers milk than he is
getting for himself" reads the state
ment. 1.-THE last cut has brought the
price paid to farmers for their milk
to rs cents per gallon. The distrib-
utors are getting as high as so cents
a gallon for this same milk when it
is delivered to homes, and in cases
where it is sold to stores a margin Of
2 cents on the quart Is allowed deal
ers for handling it.
THE farmer has q large invest
ment in his farm. in equipment and
the cows, and added to this he has
to put In many long hours into the
production of the milk. for which he
receives rs cents per gallon. The
distributor has q small investmen,
in = truck and q few dozen milk
bottles, devotes his time to the de-
livery and receives IS cents per gal.
Ion profit
1T doesn't look like this Is ar
even break and when the city people
start to place the blame for the high
price Of milk, we hope they will lay
it at the door Of the right man"
