BICYCLE FOR BONDS Local Dealers Seek Increase In Milk Prices The Decatur Milk association and local dairies are joining in an effort to have the ceiling prices raised on retail and wholesale milk in the Decatur milkshed, it was learned yesterday. Behind the movement is the desire of local dairymen to halt the sales of dairy herds by farmers who can no longer afford to keep up these herds. In a meeting with Springfield OPA officials last Macon county producers and dairy owners proposed that the price of retail milk here be increased from 13 to 15 cents and the price of wholesale milk be increased from S2.90 per 100 pounds for four per cent milk to S3.50 or $3.60.

Last Increase in 1941 It was pointed out that there has been no local increase in the price of milk since October, 1941, although the price of feed and hay has increased during that period. Dairy farmers have been unable to keep hired hands because they cannot pay wages to compare with those obtainable elsewhere. Prices of retail milk in most surrounding cities are higher than in the Decatur area, Roy Phillips of the Phillips dairy said yesterday. In Springfield, milk sells at 15 cents a quart, in Champaign at 14 cents and in St. Louis at 16 cents.
