More Diversion
Of Potatoes Is
Sought by USDA
WASHINGTON (USDA)
Acting Secietary of Agriculture
True D Morse has called on
growers and others in the pota
to industiy to utilize the potato
diversion program to the maxi
mum during the remainder of
the harvest period and early part
of the marketing season
“This action is essential,” Mr
Morse said, “in order to assuie
reasonable prices to producers
for their crops Potato growers
met the marketing problem last
year and aie capable of doing it
again this year /They have the
know-how, the marketing or
ganizations, and the marketing
tools The important thing is the
timing, potatoes should be di
verted now ”
The Octobei potato crop report
estimated the 1956 tall produc
tion at 165,283,000 hundred
weight 6 per cent up from the
September estimate, and almost
12 per cent greater than the 1955
potato crop Depaitment offi
cials pointed out that excess sup
plies of potatoes in each produc
ing area must be deposed of
locally for use in the manufac
ture of starch and flour or used
for livestock feed. In States with
the harvest surplus, diversion of
field-run potatoes, may be neces
sary, while in most States strict
adherence to withholding culls
and low-grade potatoes is a must.
Because of changed crop con
ditions and a larger surplus, Act
ing Secretary Morse also an
nounced a change in the eligibil
ity requirements for participa
tion in the potato diversion pro
gram to encourage greater diver
sion
you save
~. yes, you can put as much as two-thirds of your present
tractor fuel bills back in your pocket if you switch'-to an
Oliver Diesel Tractor. Oliver Diesels use lower-cost diesel
fuel and give you more horsepower-hours per gallon. It
averages out at about a two-thirds saving, depending on
local fuel prices.
Only Oliver can supply you with diesel power in six
farm tractor sizes. Oliver Diesel Tractors use no special
starting fuels, no extra starting equipment. Touch the
starter button and you are ready to work.
The over-all design of Oliver Diesels will please you.
Some tractors have some Oliver features —no [.mijj |
other tractor has all of them. See us for full

PHILADELPHIA The In

tional handler pool system to a
market-wide pool when the joint
Federal-State hearing to'revise
Older 61 reopens heie Tuesday,
Nov 13, 1956
Sessions will be conducted in
the Sylvama Hotel jointly by
United Slates Department of
Agriculture Hearing Master Will
Rogers and .the members of the
Pennsylvania Milk Conti ol Com
mission
The market pool proposal has
bean made by I Elkin Nathans,
a New York milk broker, and is
supported by a large New York
federation of producers and by
two large Philadelphia dealers
Inter-State contends tnat the
adoption of a market pool sys
tern would lower the blend price
to produce! s as well as, in all
probability, increase tae pnce
to consumers The Cooperative
emphasizes the Philadelphia
market’s right to maintain its
handler pool system against the
inroads of “outside intexests ”
Also being considered at the
hearing is a proposal to enlarge
the area governed by Order 61
to include some of sufcuiban
Philadelphia This is opposed by
some small suburban dealers
