mony and hold another hear
ing. The latter course is the
one that marketing agencies
in the New York area are
pushing. They have been ag
gressive, in instructing their
congressmen to so advise the
Secretary of Agriculture.
He advised the District
■■embers to let their con
gressmen know that Order
4 must continue to operate
«s a handler pool.
This fight by Inter-State and
other interested parties to
maintain the handler pool milk
marketing system in the Phila
delphia area will influence
dairymen supplying all of the
East coast and mid-Atlantic
markets. Marketing people
from as far away as Wisconsin
fcave supported Inter-State’s
stand, Hand reported.
“We are not opposed to mar
ket-wide pools, as such,” Hand
said. He cited the Baltimore
area pool as one designed to
maintain better Class I prices,
and therefore make greater
returns to members. The New
York pool, on the other band,
said the economist, is sub
sidized by operators of the
Older They have no incentive
for greater returns to produc
er-members On the contrary,
they use the subsidization to
become bigger and encourage
more suiplus milk in the area.
“Loss of the handler pool in
the Delaware Valley will be
the end of the competitive
milk handling system,” he said
“Under the market pool sys
tem, you can’t go anywhere
else when you become dis
satisfied with your present out
let because each agency has its
price set by law at the same
level.
“We are now getting the
upturn in milk prices we’ve
waited so long for,” Hand
said, and he predicted the
Philadelphia formula will
Improve by 28 cents by April
Ist.
This is due to short supply
on manufacturing milk, and
the fact that many dairymen,
who could no longer afford
to subsidize the consumers,
had been driven out of busi
ness.
“It is especially important
now to Veep Order 4 as a
handler pool if you are to
share in these better prices,”
Hand concluded.
Gailand E Gingench, voca

In favor of the proposed

Nhw, state lawmakers of
