MILK MAY GO UP
SERIOUS SHORTAGE
HALF-PENNY RISE EXPECTED Milk may go up one halfpenny as a result of the serious shortage it the city’s milk supply and the cost of hand-feeding herds. Dry pastures have caused a dwindling in supplies throughout file Auckland province and many dairj farmers have been forced to start on winter fodder already. Several dairy farms near the cite might help to increase milk supplies, but they are unable to sell for city distribution, because they do not cotply with the strict regulations. The price of milk is at present >: and it is likely to increase to 7|d, # there is not a miraculous impronment in conditions. Even a hesw fall of rain would not restore pae tures immediately and increase tfc milk production. Cream is, of course, affected by th milk shortage and some householders may have to eat their stewed peaches without it over the week-end. A cold winter coming on the top of the present drought may bring about a repetition of the milk-ration-ing when one pint was each family's allowance.
