Decline in Milk Prices

Milk prices in New England have
declined less in proportion than any
other farm product since the high peak
of prices. Figures secured by the
Statistical Department OF the New
England Milk Producers Association
show that nearly every other agricul-
tural product has gone down twice as
much as milk in proportion and that
the drop in milk price has been con-
sderably less in proportion than the
general decline in prices since the high
est point.
The milk price has dropped "a cents
from its highest point, lO1a cents to
the farmer. This is a drop OF q per
cent. Cotton has dropped 70 per cent
from its highest point, potatoes have
gone down 70 per cent, wool 60 per
cent, oats 50 per cent, cottonseed meal
50 per cent, wheat 40 per cent, pork
46 per cent, eggs "A per cent, apples
81 per cent, butter SO per cent, hay 81
per cent and cheese 30 per cent. In
some cases the drop brings the price
below the pre-war level. Cotton for
instance was selling in March 1914 for
10 cents. At its highest point it sold
for AZ cents but it has now dropped
