We couldn’t continue for any length of time at $1.35 per hundred. It is im- possible to produce milk at that price. We do.not know what the future has for us.” So testified the chairman of the Montreal Milk Pro- ducers’ Co-operative Association. The Spotlight turns this week upon ihe MILK INQUIRY where it is be- ing showri without question that the dairy farmer is getting a raw deal. Under the chairmanship of Mark C. Senn, sitting member for Hal- dimand, some startling figures have been brought out. Many farmers in the Montreal area have recently averaged less than two cents a quart for milk which ulti- mately reaches the consumer for nine, ten and eleven cents. According to the evidence of an expert of Oka agriâ€" cultural institute, a farmer can’t pro- duce milk for two cents a quart: it costs him from 3.3 to 4 cents. At two cents a quart the dairy farmer is either working for nothing, or at most a few cents a day. A more prosperous state of affairs was discovered when the committee requested the secretary-treasurer of a Montreal dairy company to file an- nual statements for 1931 and 1932. Exact evidence on this point was supplied by a Huntingdon farmer named Gilbert McMillan, who used for his illustration a typical 100 acre dairy farm with 18 to 20 cows milk- ing, the investment being about $8,000. This company, on a capital, struc- ture set at $153,100 earned 10.8 per cent profit in 1931 and 13.04 per cent profit (net) in 1932. In addition it was able to pay its president $10,000 a year, and its secretary-treasurer $5,000. It set aside in 1932 $35,004 for depreciation. and $22,322 for bad and doubtful debts. The farmer could allow himself $1.25 per day for the 365 long days milking night and morning, hauling milk to the station, ploughing, plant- ing and harvesting feed, etc. If he did, hbwever, nothing was left as re- turn on the $8,000 investment. Or, allowing 5% per cent on the invest- ment, 3 very reasonable return, not a cent was left for the man’s labor. Such a farm would yield about 100, 000 lbs. of milk a year, which, at cur- rent prices, would mean a gross rev- enue of $700 a year. From this would come $275 for such inescapable expenses as taxes, seed, repairs, in- surance, leaving the farmer $425. As contrasted with the 8425 net earning of the typical dairy farmer, making no allowance for investment. or nil when allowing for any return, the average wage of the employee Hisfributing the farmer’s product was $1,310. Druggist The company’s price ,to the farmer at the farm was a little over 2 cents a (mart average last year. It aver- aged 8 cents a quart on what it sold. 88 Der cent of which was retail. What remedy will the committee suggest? Price fixing by a commiss- ion is one suggestion. A 100 per cent organization of milk producers is another. A written contract between farmers and distributors is a third. Winnipeg has been successful in fix- ing a fair price to the consumer. ac- cording to evidence submitted to the inquiry.
