"text": "The following letter by William E. Lewis, Utica, published in both the Observer-Dispatch and the Daily Press, is reproduced here because of its bearing on the milk situation locally and elsewhere. Mr. Lewis' letter: […] Finally, in addition to ruinous price control, the farmer in the Mohawk Valley is up against a \"milk racket\" in Utica, a \"racket\" as heinous and disreputable as any milk racket in New York City or Chicago. There is no free market in Utica. The owner of a herd of 40 cows can't sell his milk in Utica, no matter how rich, pure and wholesome his milk may be, unless he signs a contract with the Dairymen's League (which never has distributed milk in Utica) through the farmers' contract to the dealers (who is in the milk racket) and who sells the poor pinched farmers' milk for 17¢ a quart which has cost him 3½¢ to 4½¢ per quart. It is a \"racket\" pure and simple. The Dairymen's League rakeoff is 5¢ per 100 pounds of milk and 15¢ for financing the \"business.\" How can that be, inquires the farmer with 40 cows and 500 quarts of milk daily to sell. The answer is, that about 30 months ago the largest retail dealers of Utica experienced a shortage of milk, and applied to the Dairymen's League for a relief supply of milk, which was furnished, but on condition, however, that the dealers force their producing farmers to sign contracts with the Dairymen's League or be turned out of the market. With no market to go to, the farmers stood for the \"racket,\" all except a few, who have given their choice cows to the butcher rather than submit. Among the victims of this \"turn off\" was the writer, owner of 40 cows and a farm in the Mohawk Valley. A \"racket\" is a detestable thing, if it results in 17¢ a quart to the consumer and 4½¢ price to the farmer.",

"text": "The following letter by William E. Lewis, Utica, published in both the Observer-Dispatch and the Daily Press, is reproduced here because of its bearing on the milk situation locally and elsewhere. Mr. Lewis' letter: […] Finally, in addition to ruinous price control, the farmer in the Mohawk Valley is up against a \"milk racket\" in Utica, a \"racket\" as heinous and disreputable as any milk racket in New York City or Chicago. There is no free market in Utica. The owner of a herd of 40 cows can't sell his milk in Utica, no matter how rich, pure and wholesome his milk may be, unless he signs a contract with the Dairymen's League (which never has distributed milk in Utica) through the farmers' contract to the dealers (who is in the milk racket) and who sells the poor pinched farmers' milk for 17¢ a quart which has cost him 3½¢ to 4½¢ per quart. It is a \"racket\" pure and simple. The Dairymen's League rakeoff is 5¢ per 100 pounds of milk and 15¢ for financing the \"business.\" How can that be, inquires the farmer with 40 cows and 500 quarts of milk daily to sell. The answer is, that about 30 months ago the largest retail dealers of Utica experienced a shortage of milk, and applied to the Dairymen's League for a relief supply of milk, which was furnished, but on condition, however, that the dealers force their producing farmers to sign contracts with the Dairymen's League or be turned out of the market. With no market to go to, the farmers stood for the \"racket,\" all except a few, who have given their choice cows to the butcher rather than submit. Among the victims of this \"turn off\" was the writer, owner of 40 cows and a farm in the Mohawk Valley. A \"racket\" is a detestable thing, if it results in 17¢ a quart to the consumer and 4½¢ price to the farmer.",
