Positive Letter Approach
Is Approved By Farmers
Th' six meetings hel(i recent
ly by the Market Administrator
showed overwhelming support
for the "positive letter" Ap
proach for the promotional, ad
vertising and educational pro
grams of the American Dairy
Association and Dairy Council
of New York, according to Rob
ert S. Turner, president of the
organization.
In making the announcement
Mr. Turner said: "We are in
hopes that by next month at
least 85% of the 30.000 dairy
men in Order if 2 will be a part
of the program. With this kind
of participation, we can step up
our fluid milk promotion pro
grams to achieve the needed re

Mr. Turner continued “All

“positive letter" with the end-of
the-month March milk checks.
This will give all of us a chance
to take part in the promotional,
advertising and educational pro
grams that arc so vital toward
helping increase fluid milk
sales. However, if a dairyman
docs not want to promote his
product and take part in the
program, he must write a letter
to his handier at any time dur
ing the year notifying him that
he does not wish to take part."
The "positive letter” will not
effect the membership status of
those uairymen who ar„ already
taking part m the American
Dairy Association and Dairy
Council of New York program.
Their membership will still con

YOUTHS UNDER 16 CAN’T
DRIVE FARM TRACTORS
In effect since January 1,1988,
a ruling by U.S. Department of
Labor forbids youths under 18
to drive tractors of more than
20 horsepower. The ruling does
not apply to youths working on
their famil i e s' farms and
youths of 14 and 15 may qualify
for exemptions from the ruling
by completing approved train
ing courses.
In New York, for example, E.
W. Foss, professor of agricul
tural engineering at Corpell,
and Dr. Harold Noakes of the
state's Department of Educa
tion are setting up training
courses and are planning to co
operate with 4-H and FFA
groups to encourage participa
tion by rural boys and girls who
desire to work on farms during
school vacations.
The American Cancer Society
estimates that about 915,000
Americans will be under medi
cal care for cancer this year.
