L I Bolton of the Quarryville
local offered a resolution .honoi
[ing the late J Lewis Beck, many
times president of the Quarryville
local and delegate to numerous
national conventions It was ac
cepted unanimously.
Roy Wagner and Harold Herr,
delegates to the National Con
vention, gave reports, pointing
out that although cow numbers
have declined in the U S, milk
production has increased In 1945
there were 27,700,000 cows in the
U S , in 1954 only 24.735,000
Yet more milk was marketed
In 1924 ice cream, consumption
per capita was 8.7 lbs per per
son, in 1954 it jumped to 17 8
Butteil on the other hand, de
clined Vrom 17 6 lbs per person
in 1924 to 8 7 in 1933
Pessimistic View Given
Rev Blake Nicholson, Jr, gave
the invocation Golden W. D'avis,
field man, reported
A rather pessimistic- view of
the milk market was presented
by 0 H Hoffman, Jr, general
manager of the Inter-State Co
opeartive, who concluded the
only salve for the ills of today’s
market is “an ultimate adjust
ment of demand to supply ”
“There is no quick, easy legis
lative solution that can solve
this problem,”- he continued One
of the'primaly causes has been
the failure of milk producers to
cut back'from geaaed-up, large
scale wartime operations, he told
Milk production is constantly
increasing Sales and production
under the Class I order 'are the
highest since the order was in
stituted December 1955 hit new
records, totaling 83 million lbs,
up 13 per cent from the pre
ceding month, up 6.9 per cent
from Dec 1954 on a daily basis.
“Today - profit or loss - the
dairy industry is producing more
milk than the national or inter
national market will use x . and
foreign nations also have the
same milk surplus problem,” he
continued
Great Revolution *
“We are going through ‘the
great - agricultural-industrial re
volution’ as they may call it
50 years from now and it’s
hurting a lot of people. You are
a self-employed man m your Own
manufacturing plant, so you must
produce efficiently Lots of farm
ers today are making a profit,
lots are not Why is the rest of
the national economy booming 9
We doubled, we quadrupled our
(milk) production in World War
11, but kept up our expansion
after the war
“There as just so much market.
We must either, 1, subsidize the
farmer permanently, or, 2, put
an artificial price on milk
corn, beef, other agricultural
LapcastbK Friday, February 3, 1956—3
products too, then cut production,
to limit this income to what the
nation will take' A sound method
of. control may be impossible ”
Mr. Hoffman told the crowd.
Reporting on the Cooperative,
he told, “This is the busiest
year we have ever had; we kept
$43 million worth of milk moving
when world prices were much
higher than our own ” He told
of opposition to the Northeast
ern Pool proposal, and the fact
that two weeks ago the National
Cooperative was approached by
a national farm group to act
favorably on the idea, but the
Cooperative remained firmly in
opposition.

Cookie Sheet Must
Be Bright, Shiny
Pop a tender, light-brown
cookie into your mouth and you
can bet it was baked on a bright,
shiny aluminum or tin cookie
sheet
Doris L Snook, extension
home management 'specialist of
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, reports that the cookie sheet
is as important as the ingredi
ents and your cooking ability
A dark tin gives a browner
cookie Heavy pans give a thick
crust The charactei istics desired
for the recipe determine the
choice of cooking utensil.
