1933 - Predicts Shortage of Milk in Vermont

WATERBURY, Vt., May 16 (AP) - An acute milk shortage unless prices were advanced, was the prediction of representatives of 12 proprietary and three cooperative creameries, meeting here to discuss the current dairy problem.

The dairymen said the price of milk paid producers should be advanced one cent a quart at once, if the shortage was to be averted. Grain and feed prices have advanced, they said, and the milk production was under normal for this season.

The creamery representatives at their meeting yesterday said they were ready to raise the price paid producers one cent if the New England Milk Producers' Association and cooperative creameries would meet their offere.

The representatives also went on record as favoring appointment of a federal regional milk administrator, as the most satisfactory solution of the milk producer's problem until such time as plans for a permanent central marketing agence were perfected.
