Hurty does not believe that raising the quality of milk alone should increase the price, but other factors ef expense to the dairymen will increase the cost. "The factors that tend to lower the ont of milk are improvements of dairy methods, efticiency rf milk plan' machinery and better methods of machinery," said Iir. Hurty. "The factors that tend to raise prices are increases in the values of land, feed, labor, dairy apparatus, transportation, delivery and sanitation.
