producers who are also Grange
leaders, meeting recently as a
special dairy review committee,
reaffirmed his organizations
policy of support for the Milk
Marketing Act as presently
constituted.
Critical of what they termed
lax enforcement of the milk law,
the farm group charged present
LANDISVILLE, PA. 898-2261
SEEDSMEN TO THE WORLD
Milk Marketing Board officials
with having “lost sight of the
law’s main intent main
tenance of a sound milk industry
in the Commonwealth “
Violations of the milk law were
said to be commonplace, and
delays in needed legal action
where reported to be likewise the
rule rather than the exception
Readinger said concerned
dairy leaders contend that the
consuming public and the state’s
billion dollar farm economy
(nearly half of it in dairying)
have been “well served by the
Milk Marketing Act for nearly
forty years “
“Milk prices are not out of line
when compared to other food
costs and give producers no more
than a fair return on their in
vestment ”
He said the Grange was in
fluential in enactment of the milk
law in the mid—3o‘s and has
supported it ever since He
credited the act with having
restored order to a demoralized
dairy industry Too often, he
charged, “attacks on the milk
law are politically motivated or
result from misinformation or
misguided zeal “
A Heavy Roller
Compacts Yard Soil
It’s almost impossible to
smooth an uneven sections of turf
with a roller, say Extension
agronomists at Pennsylvania
State Univerity A heavy roller
will compact your soil
preventing the penetration of
water, nutrients, and air—
essentials of plant growth The
only time rolling is practical is
when seedling plants heave out of
the soil with winter’s frost Use a
light roller to push them back into
good contact with the soil
