O. Putnam's office. Twelve of the leading distributors and representative farm producers ‘were present. All signed an agree- ment which will see the former retail price of 10 cents per quart restored Sunday. Producers will be given the former Price of $1.75 per hundred pounds ginning Saturday. Putnam presided at the meeting In an attempt to get the principal distributors and dairymen who have been selling direct to the consumer to settle their differences once and for all, he emphasized the critical condi- tion existing in the livestock industry. “There are no pastures, no hay, no feed of any kind to be purchased in any considerable quantities,” he said. “Feed, such as it is, is high in price. If the producer cannot get a fair price for milk, he cannot stay in busi- ness. The result can only be a short- age.” Much Talk Preceded Pact Representatives of the antogonistic factions engaged at some length in a debate as to where the responsibility rests for the price-cutting. The ginning of the conflict between dis- tributors and dairymen dates back to Jast winter. It came to a head May 1 when the retail price was reduced to 9 cents @ quart to be followed on May 14 or thereabouts by a reduction to ‘7 cents. As soon as possible, Putnam said, code will be formulated for both dis- tributors and producers to sign. No NRA code exists for the milk industry but the agreement will be made un- Ger the agricultural adjustment ad- ministration. Among those persent were J. P.
