Dairying
tions from their membciahip
F.irmcis delivering dnectly to
milk companies arc at a compe
titive disadvantage, since these
handlers can get milk at lower
fob cost bv buying from operat
ing cooperatives
Furthermore, an increased
amount of surplus milk has hit
1 the market this jear with no im
mediate relief in the Class II
price alignment between the
New York - New Jersey Order
and adjoining Orders This sur
plus has resulted bechause there
is no meaningful base rating plan
or other appropriate means o£
tailoring supply to demand.
Aggravating the surplus but
terfat problem in the Northeast
markets is the importation of
about two million pounds of a
new sugar-butterfat mixture
from Germany This low priced
product, usable in ice cream
manufacturing, replaces milk
butterfal and provides a source
of butterfal at about $65 - $.75
per pound.
Many bonds have been waived
by the Commissioner of Agricul
ture in New Yoik State upon re
quest of cooperatives selling
milk to particular handlers, re
sulting in two classes of milk
companies in New York State

those who have had then bond

Foi intelligent maiketing of

that the Commissionei of Agu
cultuie announce what milk com
panies have had bonds waived,
and who made the lequest upon
which the Commissioner provid

York concluded his remaiks
to the legislator of the North
east by alerting them of the fact
that due to these and other rea
sons, proprietary milk companies
are going bankrupt at an 'alarm
ing rate causing fewer and fewer
outlets to which dairy farmers
can sell their milk
