feeling that controls should take
place at the major breeding and
chick producing centers, but
price controls on baby chicks
would be essentail.

will get out of this depression
sometime, but it will take time
adn later there will be another,
probably worse and longer.
John Landis presided over his
first meeting as president. After
welcoming everyone, he called
for the treasurer’s report which
was accepted as presented.
President Landis reported that

those who have not responded
thus far will do so before the next
meeting because he plans to read
the names of those who are still
delinquent.

Federal Milk
Orders Amended
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture has amended all
federal milk orders except the
South Texas order, effective
Februai y 1, it was announced
recently.
USDA’s Consumer and
Marketing Service said the
amendment would:
(1) Require that the Class I
(bottling) prices for each month
be announced by the fifth day of
the preceding month.
(2) Use the basic Minnesota-
Wisconsin manufacturing milk
price for the second preceding
month, instead of for the im
mediately preceding month, in
computing Class I prices.
C&MS officials said the South
Texas order was not included in
the present action because of
proceedings pending in a U S.
District Court, and a further
hearing to be held by the Court
involving an earlier action to
terminate the order.
The amendment was first
proposed at a public hearing m
Washington December 13. The
hearing was held at the request of
the Milk Industry Foundation
representing handlers doing
business under all of the orders.
A final decision, subject to ap
proporiate dairy farmer ap
proval, was announced January
25. The amendment was adopted
following approval by the
required majority of farmers
affected by the action.
Copies of the amended order
may be obtained from the market
administrators of the orders, or
from the Dairy Division, Con
sumer and Marketing Service, U.
S. Department of Agriculture,
