By John J. Dillon. (Former State Commissioner of Markets.) Written Exclusively for The Evening World. The system under which milk has been distributed during the past forty years has encouraged waste and extravagance. During all these years the dealers have held an absolute monopoly of milk. They made the price they paid the farmer and the price they charged the consumer. That left them free to name the limit of their own profits, At times they have paid the farmer as little as 1 cent a quart and sold the same milk to city consumers at 8 cents a quart. At one time I produced and sold milk at the farm at 1% cents a quart and bought it in the city for my fam- ily at § cents @ quart. For several years previous to the war bottled milk sold in the city at 9 cents per quart for B grades and 11 cents for A grade, It averaged the farmer less than § cents. ‘This easy way of fixing their own and = creameries would be sufficient. expense to the industry. neighborhood. the big companies. supervising agents, profits, a forty-quart can. cost. pasteurizing and handling lage. duplicate each other on every block, places, The loss from this alone is appalling.

The empty cans are re- turned to the country without billing by the railroads, Someti they go where they should. Often they do not, Frequently they are lost altogethe! One station may have more cans than jt needs r weeks, Others have none at all, The dealers admit these wastes of energy and material and do nothing to correct them.
