Milkmen Meet To Consider Boosting Price South Pcnd may soon have to pay more than ciht cents a quart for milk. A meeting of the St. Joseph uunty Milk Producers association, f which practically every milk dealer in the county is a member, had been called for 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the court house. At this meeting the men will discuss he question of an advance, in the wholesale price of milk. William Klinkner, president of the association, says that in order for the producers to at least break even on the cost of producing the milk an increase in price will be necessary. On account of the Ions drought, fa tm products have been devastated, and there is little feed to be procured for the Cattle. When the farmers cannot produce enough feed for their stock- they must purchase it from other sources and the additional cost must be met in some way. is the argument. Klinkner says that the corn crop his been ruined ."0 percent by the continued heat and dry spell, and that all the crops will suffer in proportion. At present the producers are charging l.'.c per gallon for their milk, and the price will undoubtedly be raised at least two or three cents. This will mean an increase of one cent or more per quart on the milk sold to the consumer. TT' II 1
