The legitimate interests and obligations of various pro ducer groups must be-recognized and provided for regardless of whether regulation is by one order or moreMthan one order “ 4 Among the interests of New Jersey producers is the recognition of any natural econo mic advantages accruing from nearness to market and any bet iter adjustments they may have made in fitting their patera of production to market needs As sociated with these interests is the need o assume a responsibi lity for carrying the surplus con nected with the fluid milk supply fdr Northern New Jersey. “5. Among the interests of producers now under the New York order is the recognition that they should not be requir ed to carry the surplus for Northern New Jersey withont the benefits that accrue from sales of fluid milk there, and that they should not be sub jected to chaotic marketing condiions which might result from ill-conceived Federal re-. gulation.
