Consumer Feeling
Costs of Drotight
CHICAGO. July 13.-)-Con-sumers
first real taste of the
cost of the protracted drought ap
peared In milk bills today. 1
Most volatile and responsive to
the effect of heat and i aridity
which has reduced pastures to
parched brown desolation1, milk
and other dairy products led the
advance of food costs in many
sections as drotight began to
burn consumers pocketbdoks.
; The housewife contributed her
pennies to pay for the mounting
toll of damage done the -nation's
crops, estimated in e x e e s a of
J300.000.000. The home budget
balancer got a picture of food
destruction in the last few weeks
from'a survey of prices asked for
milk, butter, eggs and some vege
tables. " . - , ;
Further Indications that ;the ul
timate consumer would pay much
if not all of the drought bill were
seen oy statisticians in increased
wholesale food commodity : prices,
in some cases as much as 60 per
cent since the drought began to
affect market prices. ' . 5
