DV Milk Order
Now Amended
The U.S. Department of Agri
culture has amended the Dela
ware Valley Federal milk mar
keting order to increase returns
to producers delivering milk to
plants outside the base pricing
zone. The order covers parts of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware.
USDA’s Consumer and Mar
keting Service officials said 75
percent of the dairy farmers sup
plying the area approved the
amended order, which will be
effective Dec 1. Their necessary
approval was determined
through a poll of their coopera
tive associations, after issuance
on Nov. 25 of USDA’s final de
cision proposing the change. Co
operatives representing about
12 percent of the producers in
the market did not approve the
order.
The price change will result
from elimination of the handling
allowance of 15.5 cents a hun
dredweight, now reflected in lo
cation differentials which reduce
Class I and uniform prices at
plants 45 or more miles from
the nearest of Philadelphia,
Trenton or Atlantic City. The
variable transportation allow
ance of 1 5 cents per 10 miles,
also reflected in the differentials,
will be retained.
The location differentials are
included in milk orders to help
offset the cost of moving milk
fiom production to consuming
centers.
The handling allowance, now
being eliminated, reflected the
extra cost of assembling can
milk from farms at supply
plants for transshipment to city
processing plants. C&MS officials
said since direct-delivery bulk
:ank handling of milk is now the

Shop Carefully For Credit
Before Going Into Debt
About half of all families now
use installment credit, according
to Helen E. Bell, extension
home management specialist of
The Pennsylvania State Univer
sity.
Of these families, some are on
the brink of serious financial
trouble because they do not con
sider carefully enough the use
of this important financial tool—
credit.
Buying on time has increased
tremendously in the past 20
years, and there is no sign of a
letup, Miss Bell points out Busi
ness trends show that August,
1968, was the biggest one-month
jump in consumer spending and
ci edit buying in history And
July’s spending was larger than
June
Shop around before you com
mit yourself to a major pur
chase, advises Miss Bell Shop
for the best deal in credit, as
well as the most satisfying pur
chase.
Before going into debt, take a
good look at your regular in-
pnmary method of handling in
the market, distant producers do
not need to incur such extra
plant handling costs to get their
milk from farm to market.
Today’s order is based on a
public hearing July 30 in Phila
delphia, requested by dairy
farmers Copies may be obtained
