• Milk Quotas
(From page 1)
“There is a
of pressure
p<*ople m
bring about
the future but,
great amount
from influential
Washington to
quotas.” he said
Speaking to the mem
bers at the annual meeting
of’ the locals in the Methodist
Church at Quarryville, Hoff
man outlined some of the
activity of the cooperative
during l the past year.
He said Interstate recently
asked' that “South Jersey be
included in Federal order 61,
which is now called Federal
order four”. This was done,
he said to prevent South Jer
sey from being “sucked into
order 27 by the big New
York market”. He said he
has information that a plan
is afoot to “suck all of Penn
sylvania into 6ne Federal
order” for milk marketing
purposes
Last year Maryland refus
ed to let any Penna milk
come into Baltimore in the
form of ice cream unless ev
ery cow producing the milk
met annual Tuberculosis and
Bangs tests Hoffman said.
“Interstate got Maryland to
change their position and al
low the milk to enter Balti
more if it met U S Public
Health requirements.”
Hoffman cited a milk
hearing in New York recent
ly where the decision will
have tha effect of raising the
price of class II milk 10 to
25 cents per hundredweight.
However, he said, if the de
cision means that dealers
can buy 80 per cent cream
on the open market in Phila
delphia and dilute it for their
ice cream needs, “We may be
left sitting with the price,
and someone else will get the
business ”
Hoffman paid tribute to
President Kennedy for his
statement that milk will be
served at all Whitehouse
meals At the National Con
ference on Milk & Nutrition,
J F Kennedy did the best
job of acquainting the Ameri
can public with the impor
tance of milk, in a short
time, that I have ever seen ’
he said
Hoffman concluded by say
ing. “We have another diffi
cult year ahead, but . .wa
propose to face the future
confidently and unafraid.”
