Dairymen Object
lo Suspension
(Continued from Page One)
Professor of Agncultmal Eco
nomics at the University of Mar
yland, both testified as to the
probable adverse affects on pro
ducers in their states of any sus
pension of Order 61 and urged
ihntinued Federal control of the
Philadelphia market, in which
many producers in their states
sell their milk.
A 1 Saylor of the Pennsylvania
Farmers’ Association, Harry
'Rhodes of United Farmers,
Chester County; and W P Sad
ler, manager of Maryland Coop
erative Milk Producers and who
jvas previously administrator of
Order 61 for 12 years, following
11 years’ work as milk marketing
specialist of U S D.A , also testi
fied m facor of retaining Order
61.
McSparran also objected to the
fact that although _a Department
of Agriculture hearing to amend
Order 61 ended in February,
1957, there has been no indica
tion of a forthcoming decision,
and said, “I find it difficult to
explain to dairymen that the non
action of the Dairy Division to
amend Order 61 pncewise and
areawise is not a part of a mas
ter plan to either force Order 61
into a market pool, rather than
a handler pool, or to make it
part of Order 27, in - the New
York Metropolitan area”
Lee H. Bull, deputy secretary
"of agriculture, in Pennsylvania,
pointed out that dairy farming
really is “big business in Pen
nsylvania’ with 38 percent of the
1956 farm income coming from
milk production. He said his de
partment made no recommenda
tion buit asked that any diversion

A R Marvel of Easton, Md.,
Inter-State president, declared
the suspension of Order 61,
“would be a very backward step
in the marketing of milk in
Philadelphia, and I see no reason
why it should even be consider
ed ”
Dr Honan in his testimony
said 'that 20 per cent of the milk
used in Philadelphia originates
on farms outside of Pennsyl
vania, with about 1,450 producers
involved at 14 receiving stations
owned and operated by sue Phila
delphia dealeis
“Thus the facts whch existed
when Federal milk marketing re
gulation was established in 1941
are present today,” he said
There is milk in interstate com
merce coming into this market
Order 61 is very definitely serv
ing the function of fixing min
imum prices for all producers
whether they live m Pennsyl
vania, or in Delaware, Maryland,
or New Jersey ”
John Martin, economist and
lawyer speaking for the Phila
delphia area milk distributors m
support of retaining Order 61,
took to task both the U S De
partment of Agriculture and the
Pennsylvania Milk Control Com
mission m their falure to arrive
at final decisions on the record of
the concurrent Federal State
hearing which ran from June,
1956 to February, 1957.

meeting edited by Federal offi
cials to consider suspending
Ordei 61, Martin said
“I, too, have the same fear as
expressed by Dr Honan that this
meeting is a part of administra
tive market order manipulations
in violation of the intent of Con
gress .and the provisions of good
government ”
Alvar M Nixon, economist for
Sealtest Supplee, stated that the
interstate shipment of milk is a
greater marketing problem in
Philadelphia than in 69 of the 70
Federal markets and completely
justified the local Federal mark
eting order He added that if the
Order should be suspended, not
only producers but also consum
ers probably would suffer from
unstable prices and supplies.

Grade 4 Oats
To Be Supported
By Government
Minimum eligibility require
ments ifor oats for price support
proposes will be changed from
Grade No 3 or better to Grade
No 4 or better in instances
where the lower grade is caused
solely by a “badly stained or ma
terially weathered” condition, the
U S Department of Agriculture
announced today
Where Grade No 4 oats are
accepted under these conditions
for price support it will be at a
discount of 8 cents per bushel
from the applicable basic county
support rate In addition the pre
mium for test weight provided
in price support regulations will
not apply to such oats
The price support program for
oats —and the other feed grains,
barley, rye, and grain sorghums
—was announced by the Depart
ment on February 9 The nation
al average rate on oats was set
at 60 cents per bushel for Grade
No 3 or better, with appropriate
premiums and discounts from
that grade to reflect differences
in quality.
Because of heavy rainfall ac
ross most of the South and into
the Southwest, it now appears
that oats in that area are going
to sustain sever weather dam
age The lowering of eligibilty
requirements to Grade No 4 is
being done to meet this situa
tion Department officials empha
sized that Grade No 4 oats will
be accepted for price support
oans only when the grade is due
to a “badly stained or materially
weathered” condition. Otherwise
to be eligible, oats must Grade
No. 3 or better.
