“The consumption of fluid
milk in the New York-New Jer
sey market is spiraling upward,
as for the third straight month
the volume of Class I fluid milk
s.les showed an incieasc which
amounted to 7 38% for the
month of September over the
same month last year,” said Rob
eit S Tumei, Horseheads, pres
ident of the American Dauy As
scciation and Dairy Council of
New York
In making the announcement
Mi Turner said “However,
even moie impoitant is the fact
that we had a 46% increase in
milk sales foi the month of Sep
tembei as compaied to this past
August The past five yeais
(1963-1967) show an average in
ciease of 29% in milk sales
compaung September to Au
gust This puts sales 17% above
the five year average and shows
very vividly that our expanded
milk piomotion progiams are
definitely helping to encourage
gieatei fluid milk sales This in
ciease came about in spite of
the fact that the New York City
schools weie closed 13 number
of days this past month result
ing in a loss of moie than seven
million caitons of milk”
In conclusion, Tumei said
‘While the spmt of optimism
pievails in the Dairy Industry
v'e must now look to even fur
ther horizons so that this up
waid tiend will continue in the
months and yeais ahead This
can only be accomplished
through the continued spirit of
unity that prevails among the
Dauy Industiy leadeis as they
work with ADA & DC to further
develop producer investment in
milk promotion ”

Swine Have
Definite Own
Social Order
Swlno much like humans
have n definite social order
with each group having a boss
and one at the bottom of the
order, according tb a new
"Swine Management Han d
book" published bv the College
of Agriculture of The Pennsyl
vania Slate University.
"Whenever groups of pigs are
mixed, the social order is upset
and fighting usually results,”
said Lester A. Burdette, Exten
sion livestock specialist, one of
the publication’s authors. “This
will continue until the two
groups are integrated into a
new social order and each pig
knows whom he can or cannot
dominate. Pigs that are not
moved to new surroundings at
frequent intervals make faster
gains and require less feed.”
