PRICE OF MILK RAISED IN AUCKLAND
HALF-PENNY A QUART FOR WINTER (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 31.

Goldstine) said the increase would come into force on April 15, remaining until September 30. There were many reasons which had made this increase necessary. The farmers had been faced with difficulties following facial eczema; there had been an abnormal winter and unfavourable spring and summer, and finally there was the present prolonged drought. “The price of milk has always been higher in winter than in summer,” he added.
