More than 1,500 gallons of milk were dumped near Richmond Satur­ day by a group of farmers said to be from the Chicago milkshed in con­ nection with trouble which has been brewing at the Natoma dairy farm in Hinsdale. The farmers were dis­ pleased when the Natoma Dairy at Hinsdale began buying its supply of milk from Wisconsin instead of from farmers in Kane and DuPage coun­ ties. The dairy contends that Wis­ consin milk was imported because the dairy wanted milk from Guern­ sey cows. Close-in suppliers have mostly Holstein herds. By the time local sheriffs had reached the scene, the crowd had dispersed.
