¢ i WLR Would Protect the Farmer and the Consumer and Increase Production. A NEW LAW IS NEEDED. Evening World Contention, Made Long Ago, Now Borne Out. By Sophic Irene Loeb. That a State Milk Commission to fx the price of milk is now the gen- ‘erally accepted solution for the milk situation was more strongty empba- gined in the hearing yesterday of the Fair Price Milk Committes, by the testimony of Hilhouse Buell, an ex- pert on economics, who was asked to ‘appear before the committee by the Governor. ‘That euch a legislative body should | 9 be created as would be empowered to fix the price of milk or limit the Profits has been tong advooated by ‘Tho Evening World as one of the first Stops in the settlement of the milk situation, Mr. Zuell presented a votuminous Seport 4 to the ecopamies that could be practiced in the milk industry, both in the producing and distribut- ing ends, tending to materially reduce the price of milk to the consumer. ‘On the distributing costs alone be explained to the committees that the Price could drop 2 or 8 cents. His principal plan called first for Proper jegislation creating # milk commission, like the Public Service Commission, that is, in having juris- diction over the entire milk industry and that the by-products should be considered jointly with the fluid milk in determining the price. ‘This is another step long cham- pioned by this newspaper since large dividends and big profits are being made on this end of the business. Fifty-five per cent. of the milk pro- duced in this State is now made into by-products. PAPER CONTAINERS INSTEAD OF GLASS BOTTLES. Another feature si Mr. Byell that would bring down the price ‘of milk is to substitute for slags bot ties @ proper itary Paper cont . He presented Aeures to show how enormous, cumbersome bulk produced by the present method of handling milk could be reduced by substituting these paper containers, At this point Dr. Copeland produced several boxes of paper containers that had been sent to him for approval if svc) a plan were to be In regard to legislation Mr. ‘Buell recommended that it might be tieces- mary to consolidate some of the com- _ASTATE MILK COMMISSION G DOWN PRICES as well as some of the stations up-State, in handling the milk, in order to effect the ecenomies h ‘~ gested. His chief concern in this direction, however, is to have the production end of the industry under the control of one agency, meaning the farmers, but that the distributing end of the busi- ness should begin at the farmer’s door and proceed to the consumer's. He stated that he thought this would bring about beneficent results in that cation would be avoided and proper routes would be established. He thought further that with his lan there could be still maintained Realtny competition among the deal- ers, to improve their efficiency meth- ods and to secure more customers; but that this could only be accom, lished after a legal body, like 'y State Milk Sommission, would be able length on the im; couraging the farmer to produce more milk by the development of more herds, and all the members of the ittee that one of the of the farmers to the extent of | | | "THE encouraging the business to further produce more and better milk. HOW THE PRICES ARE FIXED IN BOSTON. Another important witness before the committee was Arthur V. Turner, | an inspector of tie Health Depart- ment, who has been delegated to make a special study of the milk con- ditions that obtain in Boston, Phila-| deiphia, Rochester and other cities, Mr. Turner presented a report on the Boston industry, and he showed that one of the principal advance steps taken there to protect milk prices | was in having the by-products enter into the price of fluid milk to the consumer. He said that about 21 per cent. of the milk produced in Maine is made into by-products, as against 65 per cent. in New York. Mr. Turner explained how the prices are fixed in Boston as follows: “The prices paid the producer and by the consumer are determined by Dr. Arthur W. Gilbert, Milk Adminis- trator, These prices are based on the market value of butter and what is known as the surplus pian. “On or before the tenth day of each month the distributer files with Dr. Gilbert a sworn statement regarding his business during the preceding month. This statement contains the following information: 1. Quantity of milk pur- chased and shipped to Boston district. 2. Quantity of milk purchased and kept in the conntry. 3.

This loss changes each month and differs with each dealer. During the months of Novem- ber and December, by agreement, no surplus is charged back. Under this surplus plan the dealer takes all of the milk produced by the farmer, sells | What he can at full price, and for this Portion of the milk pays the farmer full price, The surplus milk is con- | verted by the dealer into by-products, and after deducting the cost of mak- |ing the by-product pays the rest back to the farmer, “The price the farmer receives for the milk @old at full price is governed by a formula showing the cost of production which closely resembles the Warren formula, but is somewhat of an improvement. “In determining the price the con- sumer shall pay a sworn audit of the dealer's books !& submitted pertodi- Hy to Dr. Gilbert, This audit w: shows the cost of handling in or when you travel.
