ing problem of shifting milk
on weekends, and next year

day. the problem will become
more acute,” asserted Watson
E Buckman. Director of Trans

Producers’ Cooperative’s an

Voter Hotel
The representatives of more
♦ban 3,000 dairy farmers from
four states were cautioned by
Buckman when he said, “This

the week, making it necessary
for the dealer to need a large
volume of fluid milk during the
week days and lelatively small
amounts on the weekend when
stores are closed This is in
many instances sorely taxes the

ties in the area to handle such
peak loads on a weekend basis.
