RALEIGH, Oct. 30-P-1n-
creases of from one to two cents
per quart will be added to the re-
:ail price of milk in sections OF
Eastern North Carolina in the next
few days, L. L. Ray, Executive
Secretary OF the North Carolina
Dairy Products Association, report
ed Thursday.
The retail price of milk now is
20 cents per quart in almost every
part Of the state, and Ray said
that some diaries in the east prob
ably would boost the price to q or
% cents per quart on the first of
the month.
Ray said that most of the milk
sold in eastern North Carolina is
imported either from the western
part of the sta,e or from other
states, and that the cost of this
milk h a d increased recently by
six to seven cents per gallon.
Since March of 1912, when the
retail price of milk was frozen at
16 cents per quart by the OPA,
most of the price increases have
gone to the farmer, and the dis
tributors, faced with increased Ia
Dor and other costs have been
placed in a Squeeze Ray said.
Ray said h a t retail price in
creases are not imminent in west
