Notice able Here. FOOD PRICES ARE AWAY UP New Britaln Scttles With Hurburt Es- \ tate—Brickyards Get Fire Protec- tlon—Registrars Mect Today—Bricfl Items, Thé dalry conditions on the farms around Berlin have changed so much during the past year or two, and thew cost of production and transportation that indi- be a rise | | have advanced so rapidly sations are that there will In the.price of milkk and cream very wmoon. Miik will pass out of the cate- food for gory of cheap commodities The reasons the expected ad- *vance are the difinution of milch the Increase in the cost of the scarcity of good farm labor, and the conversion of ntany dairy farms into farms for truck garden- ng purposes. 'These conditions dd not exist in Berlin alone, but are existent nll ever the state. Deputy State Commissioner on Dairy and Food Products Herbert O. Daniels of Mid- dletown stated that the dairymen were working under conditions that are dincouraging. There are no figures avallable on the diminution In the number of milch cows wither in Berlin or in the state as a whole, but veterinarians onnected with the state commission yn damestic animals report that a | number of milch cows have heen “beefed” during the summer. On the sther hand the population of the state I8 inereasing rapidly. Particularly |Is | that condition to be found in Berlin | where dairymer supply New Britain | with milk and cream, and the popu- Iation of Now Britain has incréased tremendously. It Is well known that everything in the food line has gonc up’in price. Any farmer will declare that the cost of grain to feed milch cows has, dur- ing the past three or four years a rupled in price. The prico chatheqd for milk has not multiplied vo gEreatly Perhaps the most perplexing prob- jem that the dairymen have to deal with today I8 the scarcity of good farm laborers. It might even be said to bo a big problem where they can get any Iaborers at all. At the be- ginning of the war the wages offered men in the factories of industrial towns and cities jumped so that the farm laborers were attracted by them induced to leave the farms for the cities. Also, there were a number of voung men taken off the farm by the call to the army The Anirymen expocted that when the war wWas over the laborers would return positio But in- to the farms the ows, food, effect &f all this is that {He dairymen are compelléd to conduct their farms with a shortage of help. The dairy- men cannot carry this b urden long, 80 the natural consequence is to sell their stock and tufn their farms to other purposes. Most of those dairymen who have sold their stock in this state have turned their energies to truck gar- dening. This promises more remun- eration and less worry for the farm- er than a dairy farm. Many dalry- men, in selling out,’ have not only sold the stock but the farm itself. When a ‘dairyman sells out, he does not care whether the stock is beefed or not, and usually. the result is that the whole herd, is beefed. Commissioner Daniels thinks that milk in proportion to its: importance to mankind Is. one of the' cheapest of food commaodities. - A campaign of education has been suggested to die- lodge from the mind of the public that milk can be obtainéd 'at low prices. The various conditions which make the dairymen discontented with the small, hard-earned profits, and In the refusal on the part of the con- sumer to pay the slight ingreases in the price of mjlk may. bring about a gréat jump in the prices later. Fire Protection. The Donnely Brick company has made arrangements with thg City of New Hritain for the use of its fire apparatus in_case of fire. . The agree- ment is that thé Donnelly company will pay for the cost of the.call if the Town of Berlin disputes the claim. City Settles Glaim.
