　　The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.

　　"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairyfarms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 yearsago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the localExcello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. Toprevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparentlyincreased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulateretail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure both lower pricesand an adequate supply of milk for consumers."

　　Batavia的农业部门报告说全国奶牛农庄的数量比10年前增加了25%。然而就在同一时期，当地Excello Food Market牛奶的价格从每加仑$1.5上涨到了$3.0。为防止农场主在牛奶供应量明显增加的情况下获取过多的利润，Batavia的政府应限制牛奶的零售价。这种限价对于保证更低的牛奶价格和充足的供应是必需的。
