sults A one-year study (complet
ed in Maich 1968) conducted by
USDA’s Economic Research Ser
vice, assisted by C&MS, showed
that 49% of the hogs slaughter
ed under Federal inspection
graded US No 1 compared
with the 1960-61 season, when
only one-thnd of the hogs fell
in the top category.
Hogs currently being produc
ed are longer and leaner. Pro
ducers have developed these
“new” swine with high-quality
lean and relatively little back
fat in response to consumers’
preferences.
In line with the tremendous
pi ogress m swine improvement
made by the industry, C&MS
livestock technicians recently re
vised the grade standaids for
pork carcasses (Apul 1) and
slaughter barrows and gilts
(July 1) These standards estab
lished a new U. S. No. 1 grade
to identify the inci eased num
ber of lean, thickly muscled car
casses being produced today. In
the revised grades, the U. S. No.
2,3, and 4 grades correspond in
general to the old grades U.S.
No. 1,2, and 3.
In the beef and swine indus

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 21,1968 —
Milk For
Drinking milk for some 127
million Americans comes from
milk dealers who get their sup
ply from dairy farmeis regular
ly serving the Nation’s 67 Fed
eral milk marketing areas, ac
cording to the Consumer and
Marketing Service of the U.S
Department of Agnculture.
The faimers delivered 56 6
billion pounds of milk during
calendar year 1968 over 13
billion half gallons This milk
moving off the farm into the
marketing stream w r as valued to
the farmers at about $3 2 bil
lion at minimum order prices.
Federal orders are initiated
at the request of dairy faimers,
and administered by the C&MS
Dairy Division through local
market admimstiators.
The 67 marketing areas in
winch Federal milk oiders were
operating at the end of 1968 in
cluded most of the Nation’s ma
jor population centers. New or
ders, expansions in marketing
areas of older orders, and the
population growth in areas al
ready covered, accounted for the
increase in total population in
the milk order areas.
The orders set minimum or
floor prices to dairy farmers,
based essentially on supply and
demand conditions in each mar
keting area, which dealers are
to pay for the milk they receive
from dairy farmers.
The Federal orders do not
regulate retail milk prices. But
they serve to stabilize market
ing conditions between dairy
farmers and milk dealers. And
this gives the farmer the confi
dence he needs to make long
range plans and investments to
keep the American consumer
supplied with a sure supply of
fresh, wholesome milk.
In the Northeast, areas under
stock producers to develop a
more desirable pioduct. The
producer can now receive a fi
nancial premium for selling
high-yielding animals, while
packers and retailers save mon
ey by having less waste fat and
more lean to sell. And in the
end the consumer benefits by
getting the pioduct he wants at
a price he is able to pay.
