This credit which became effective on November 1 was a direct result of the Class II decision handed down by the United States Department of Agriculture, and was applicable to 42 2 per cent of bulk tank de liveries and reduced the uniform price by about 3.4 cents. If F. 0.8. farm point pricing had been in effect in all Federal Order Markets in the northeast, as provided in the New York- New Jersey Order, the above drop in uniform price would not have occurred. We can also look forward to the closing of more can decks because of this Class II decision. Eastern Milk Producers has urged and will continue to urge amending the orders adjoining the New York-New-Jersey Order to provide farm zoning and pric ing of bulk milk in an effort to obtain price alignment between markets. The USD A also denied the pro posal for a national Class I Price Formula. No further action has been taken at this writing by the United States Secretary of Agri culture on this formula. Eastern Milk Producers Co operative Association, Inc., testi fied for and continues to support the need for an Economic For mula for adjusting Class I prices, but opposed the national formula proposed by the Na tional Milk Producers Federa tion. Eastern’s proposal called for a much simpler formula designed to take into consideration the local costs of milk production for. dairy farmers in the North east. Without this factor, it is quite evident that milk producers in the Northeast will be unable to 397-3721 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 30,1971 — meet the inflationary prices of needed goods and services and compete favorably with the rest of the economy The Depart ment of Agriculture has not ruled on Eastern’s proposition. Dairymen in this part of the country will again be urged to continue to have deductions made from their monthly milk check to take care of milk ad vertising. Now there is a strong effort afoot to make such deduc tions mandatory.

Regrettably, this all means a lower net income for dairy farm ers in the Northeast and throughout much of the United States. Eastern Milk Producers esti mates that the average monthly uniform price in 1971 for the New York-New Jersey Market will show only a plus $O5 per hundred pounds of milk; Mass.- R.1.-New Hampshire Market only a plus $O7; and the Middle At lantic-Market only a plus $ 02 per hundred pounds of milk.
