Interstate
Members Are
Compensated ,
Dairy farmer members of the
Inter-State Milk Producers’ Co
operative who were temporarily
unable to market their milk be
cause of the recent Lancaster
paratyphoid epidemic received
cash compensation from their
Cooperative last week; totaling
$5,532 3* * /
, In repaying these 21 members
for loss of income, Inter-State
emphasized that the organization's
policy over the years has been- to
guarantee a market and to guar
antee pay. These payments, the
Cooperative said, were “in ac
cordance with Inter-State’s est
ablished i policy of settlement
with a member who is out of a
market through no fault of his
own or when his premises are
quarantined because of human
illness-” ,
Checks ss6.qp to $687.81.
When the epidemic broke out
m December, (the State Board of
Health and the Lancaster City
Board of Health ascertained
that victims of the ailment had
had aceess to. milk processed by:
Queen Dairy, a, Lancaster plant.
The 21 members of Inter-State
who were shipping milk to Queen
Dairy all received compensation
for the 10 to 12-day-period they
were without market with checks
ranging from $56.89 to $687.81-

ped distributing milk on Dec. 6
and resumed normal deliveries
on Dec 23.
Charles E Cowan, the Cooper
ative’s field representative and
manager of the Lancaster Se
condary Milk Market, distributed
the checks to farmers and their
families One member, Earle L
Groff of Strasburg, R 1, summed
up the feelings of many wnen he
said.
“I have been an Inter-
State member since 1926. My
father was a member on the
home farm from 1918 to 1926.
If was a real comfort to me
during the recent period to
know that Inter-State would
cover my loss as well as work
toward having my milk mar-
ket restored ”
5 Based on Queen Dairy’s blend
price for November, Inter-State
paid out a gross value of $6,283 89
tor the 110,858 lbs of milk that
its 21 members were unable to
ship, less 10 cents per hundred
weight, which represented the
drop in the Lancaster area blend
price during Dec., exclusive of
Queen Dairy. The gross value
also was adjusted ”to the fob.
farm price and allowed-for home
use , value of 59.4 cents, per
hundredweight, the Pennsylvania
Milk Control Commission’s skim
milk value for December.
Inter-State General Manager,
O. H Hoffman, Jr., told farmers
who received checks from the
Cooperative.
“Remember this is not in
surance money, nor is it any
thing more than ’your pro
rata share of what you mem
bers of'lnter-State set aside
for just such an emergency.
When a barn burns down,
the neighbors come in and
help with the lifting of the
new barn. When a member
of Inter-State gets in a jam
of this sort, the other mem
bers' come in and help too.
The only difference is that
in this case they helped by
setting aside a reserve fund,
so that the thing could- be
done in an orderly manner.”
Others Receiving Payment
When health authorities
investigating the cause of the
epidemic, Inter-State independ
ently had the purity of their
member’s milk ascertained by
dairy science and bacteriology
experts J, Frank Cone, of Penn
sylvania State University; Dr.
T. G. Anderson of Temple Univ
ersity, and Dr. Earl- Cook, Phil
adelphia area- dairy bacteriol
ogist. In addition, at Inter-State’s
instance, most valuable assistance
in getting the. plant reopened
was given by Dr.«D. V. Josephson
and' Dr- G. H: Watrous, of Penn
sylvania State University, two
-nationally known- experts in the
field of dairy plant operation.
