over 3.5, three cents extra are paid, and for every tenth below 

 three cents are deducted, thus a 5.0 per cent milk would bring 

 $2.20 and a 3.0 per cent milk would be worth $1.60. In addi- 

 tion five cents extra per hundred is paid for Grade A milk and 

 a like amount subtracted if the milk falls into the Grade C

 worth $2.25, while 100 pounds of 3.0 per cent Grade C would 

 bring only $1.55. A different price standard for each month 

 in the year may then be annoimced in advance with a table 

 indicating just what any particular class and grade will be 

 worth.
