Use The Classified Advertisements The True Picture I Why Milk Pried SEEM Higher The Government has been paying pari oi yrj Milk Bill through subsidy to Producers E the Consumer must pay "The Subsidy.' Back during the dark days of the war, when Ger many was marching unchecked towards Paris, and the Japs were making progress in the Pacific, our government set up the Office of Price Administration (OPA) to work jointly with other government agen cies to handle food production and control prices of foods. As production and feeds costs mounted, the fed eral agency decided upon the plan of paying milk producers a "subsidy" from the United States Treas ury, rather than increase the cost of milk to the consumer. Efforts to keep productions costs down failed, and milk distributors were faced with a shortage of milk, as the producers could not break even financially. Then it was that a silght increase was granted, raising milk prices to consumers one cent a quart in this area, as the producers were paid 40 cents per hundred pounds more for milk, in addition to the subsidy. On June 30th, Congress failed to renew the life and powers of the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and also the payment of food subsidies, which meant that the government just stopped paying part of the consumer's milk bill. But that legislative episode did not reduce the cost of production of milk on the farm, or decrease the processing costs. There fore there was only one thing left to do, aij was let the consumer pay what the governma been paying on the milk bill. As of Monday, July 8th, the producers w $5.55 per hundred (47.7 cents per gallon) dirl this plant for their milk. That is the same if ing price paid in many sections of this state there is no longer any 'government assistand consumer will have to pay the additional cost, means the retail price will be 20 cents per qu sweet milk, and a comparable price on all ottie products. This is state-wide, and not just conl this area. Please don't think for a moment that the milk has been increased MILK PRICKS m THE SAME the difference is that the goverl no longer pays part of your milk bill.
