that the amount retained
by the association to cover
its increasing operating
costs will increase as herd
size increases. Previously,
the association’s share was
$1 per herd tested, regard
less of size. Now that
amount will vary from 50
cents for ten cows to $5 for
100-cow-herds, figured at a
straight live cents per cow.
The charge for the Penn
State-IBM record keeping will
remain unchanged at ten cents
per cow.
The testers’ fees will be $1
higher on herds up to 70 cows
in size, and basically some
what lower on herds above
that size However, directors
also voted that testers could
charge herds larger than 70
cows an additional $4 50 if the
job is completed in one day
If the job requires two days of
tester’s service, he will have
the option of charging $9 for
the additional day
While it was noted that the
state association regards the
testing of 70 cows as a good
day's work, most testers seem
to prefer to finish up in one
day. regai dless of herd size
Until Monday night’s meet
ing, held at the Penn Dairies
Plant, Lancaster, members of
the Red Rose association had
one of the lowest late sched

state association director J
Robert Hess In southeastern

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The association’s ac
counts receivable situation
was also reviewed by the
directors. According to
treasurer Jacob Houser,
accounts receivable from
unpaid fees total Sl3OO.
While these were largely
in the current, 30-day pe
liod, the directors decided
to enforce a firm policy
designed to eliminate such
“charge accounts.”
Hess pointed out that the
association's by laws specifically
state that all testing ssivices
aie to be offeied on a cash
basis only Testeis had pievi
ously been advised by head
supeivisoi Wilbui Housei that
a second month’s testing was
not to be done for any mem
ber who has not paid for the
pievious month’s service
The diiectoxs voted to set
August Ist as the date when
this policy will be enfoiced
They authonzed the treasmer
t o withhold payment fiom any
tester tor accounts that had not
paid the association for the
current testing period
It was also recommended that
testers and members be advised
of this new regulation in ad
vance, hoping that the co
operation of all conceined
could be secured befoie the
effective deadline. It was felt
that the iob of collecting for
all accounts was the icspon
sibility of each tester in the
association
The board approved a joint
meeting between directors and
testers, and set a tentative date
for sometime m August for the
get-together A committee con
sisting of duectois Clyde Mar
tin and Raymond Burkholder,
and of two testeis to be ap
pointed later by Wilour Hous
er, will arrange details for the
meeting
