Eastern Urges
CmS/mmtim
Of Special
Milk Program
John C York, General Man
ager of Eastein Milk Piodueers
Cooperative Association, sent a
letter to President Richard M
Nixon lecentlv urging him to
continue the Special Milk Pro
gram in his forthcoming Budget
Message
York, speaking on behalf of
the milk bargaining cooperative
based in Syiacuse, N Y, stated
that the 10,000 Eastern dairy
faimer membeis are extremely
concerned over the possibility
of losing this program, one of
the few things the Federal
Government has done to aug
ment the meager incomes of
milk producei s
“The dany industry, though
the second largest branch of
farming, in teims of cash re
ceipts, is nevei theless treated as
an orphan when it comes to
allocating Goveinment aid to
agriculture The Federal
Government anticipates paying
out, dunng fiscal 1971, $904
million for wheat payments,
$1516 million for feed gram
payments, and $9OB million
foi cotton payments In con
trast, during fiscal 1970 the
support program for manufac
tured dairy products cost only
$169 million, York noted
Aside from its contribution
to milk producers, the Special
Milk Program benefits children
of school age, whether needy or
not. Participation by non-needy
children is well justified by the
fact, proven by surveys, that
most children are deficient in
good nutrition, especially in
elements contained in fluid
milk, York explained
A further consideration in
this situation is the fact that
elimination of the Special Milk
Program will not save the
Government $lO4 million, the
amount appropriated for fiscal
1971. If the program is discon
tinued, the milk not consumed
by school children will become
surplus, to be manufactured in
to butter, cheese, and skim milk
powder. This surplus will be
brought by the Government, to
gether with other surpluses of
dairy products, under the Price-
Support Program, to be given
away free here or abroad. The
hope of saving $lO4 million will
prove a delusion,” concluded
York.
Still 30% Sausages
The U S Department of Agri
culture recently announced that
there has been no change in its
policy or procedures regarding
the enforcement of a 30 per cent
limit on the fat content of cook
ed sausages, such as frank
furters and bologna
Officials of USDA’s Consumer
and Marketing Service said a
number of inquiries in the past
few days indicate that there may
be widespread misunderstanding
as to whether or not the limit is
still being enforced. They said
the misunderstanding may have
resulted from recent news re
ports of the cancellation of plans
to start a new market sampling
program for cooked sausage
products.
During 1970, 19,789 samples
were sent to Federal laboratories
for analysis Officials empha
sized that this testing in Federal
laboratories will be continued.
