Rise in Milk Prices
Will Be Urged Today
AT Alexandra HEARING
I Virginia Commission
Opens Investigation at
Request Of Producers 4.

The Virginia Milk Commission to-
day opened hearing in Alexandria
on a request by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
stion for a 70-cent per hundreds
weight increase In the price of milk.
BruoesB. Derrick, .secretAry%of the
association, which is made upsof
dairy farmers serving the Washing
ton 7Hifkshed, said increasing costs
together with the drought, which
has seriously affected milk produc-
ton IN this area, have made neces-
sary an immediate" increase in
prices to be paid producers.
The increase which the associa-
ton is requesting, Mr.. Derrick said,
is Is cents quart. or 16 per cent
more than the present price of s4.35
per hundredweight
Mr.. Derrick pointed out that since
January, 194l, the cost of dairy feed
to local farmers has risen 73 per
cent and wages paid farm hands
rs per cent, while the overall cost
OF milk production has increased 81
per cent.
During this period, he pointed
out, the cost of fluid milk to the
distributors has risen only "a per
cent, and the blend of all milk and
cream sold by distributors only SO
per cent
Mr.. Derrick said that while the
drought has aggravated the milk
shortage here, actually Washington
faces a long-term shortage unless
farmers are encouraged to increase
milk production. Even if the down.
ward trend in production can be
halted, he said. nearby farmers
probably can produce only about
100000 quarts of an estimated 7OO,-
000-quart demand. This will mean
that about Al per cent of the milk
supplied consumers here must be
imported.
In addition to association mem
berS, distributors and consumers
were expected to present evidence at
today's hearing in support of pres
ent milk prices.

EwttsszssHm other cEspswhich carry
over into the next year are far
from encouraging. i
Mr.. Walker said seed dealers in
many drought areas have informed
him they are not selling seeds for
fall and winter paintings. There is
no need for seeds, he said, when the
ground continues too dry for germ
ination.
Continuation of the drought few
weeks longer, he stated, will seriously
disrupt the planting of alfalfa,
clovers and pasture grasses A re-
duction of these crops. he pointed
out, will mean another short hay
crop next year in the drought area
Reports indicated that the drought
is spreading into Eastern and South
eastern Virginia which up to now
have enjoyed fairly good growing
seasons.
While detailed reports of actual
damage were lacking, the general
condition of hay and feed crops in
those areas was described as alarm
ing"
In the northern and central coun-
ties. Mr.. Walker said, the drought
had done its damage and farmers
there now were concerned mainly
with getting their winter grain and
cover crops planted and with getting
rid of surplus livestock to cut down
their feeding needs as much as pos
sible for the winter.

Study Of Returns
0fGds LightCo.
McEIfresh Says Capital
Could Be Attracted
Despite Earning Cut

Debate was to be continued today
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion on the question of whether the
primary rate of return allowed the
Washington Gas Light Co. should
be reduced from 6.5 per cent of the
valuation to 6 per cent.
If such change is ordered, there
would be greatly increased amount
of "excess" profits shown for the
past test year, and thereby very
much larger sum indicated for con-
sumner rate reductions for the new
billing year, dating from yesterday
than the $4,000 rate cut suggested
by PUG witness.
Statistics Presented.
This phase of the rate hearings
was brought to the fore at yester-
day afternoons session. Statistics
were presented by V. A. McElfresh,
chief accountant of the PUG, and
additional data was supplied by E.
j. Boothby, gas company vice presi-
dent.
These seemed to indicate no ois-
agreement over the theory that a
gas company operation was more
speculative than is that of an cleo
trio power concern. While the rri-
mary rate of return allowed the
Washington Gas Light Co. under its
sliding scale plan is 6.5 per cent, the
basic rate for the Potomac Electric
~li L.
arrangement has been 6 per cent
for some years.
Mr.. McElfresh testified that in
his judgment, which he based on
his studies of utility concerns, the
gas company would be able to main
tain its financial integrity" and to
attract additional capital when and
if needed, should it's primary rate be
reduced to per cent.
Earnings Price Ratios.
Mr. McElfresh offered data to
show that the average cost of money
invested in the plant and other
assets of the gas company was 448
per cent for it's long-term indebted
ness, 4.90 per cent on preferred
stock, and 10 per cent on common
stock, arriving at an average of
5.87 per cent for the overall. includ-
ing a 10 per cent figure on earned
surplus as related to common stock
Considerable time was devoted to
these earnings price ratios, and Mr..
McElfresh offered other exhibits
showing such findings as to a list
of electric power concerns as COM
pared with separate list for gas
companies.
Mr.. Boothby placed before the
commission data showing that there
had been net additions TO the COM
pany plant of $22000,0 900 between
1892 and 1912; that while the in
vestment in property had increased
96,8 per cent, revenues from sales
ofleas 93.4 per cent and gas seon-
sumption 129 per cent. the gross
