McHale, noting that the Agriculture Department has no direct control over the Milk Marketing Board, said he inquired about the status of the $200,000 appropriation because “we are very aware of the hard ship this entire situation has created for state milk producers.” The Clemo company, a New York dairy, and its subsidiaries declared bankruptcy Sept. 17, 1971. About 100 Pennsylvania milk producers had sold milk to the firm and were owed money. The Clemo company had been bonded for $200,000 under the Milk Marketing Law. However, because of the long range maturity of the bond and the low interest ra(e, the actual value of the bond was $40,000 when the firm declared bankruptcy. Thus, the bonding was insufficient to pay t!)e farmers. The Pennsylvania legislature then 5200,000 to the Milk Marketing Board for payment to the Clemo creditors. Harry £!. Kapleau, chairman of the Milk Marketing Board, in reply to a query from McHale, Two Book Cows SNF Recorded Two cows in the Roy H. and Ruth H. Book herd, Bonks, have been listed in an official production testing report released by Holstein-Friesian Association of America. Included with the pounds of milk and butterfat are the amounts of solids-no-fat produced since last calving. j j said legal obstacles have held up disbursement of the ap propriation. Kapleau said he has asked Attorney General J. Shane Creamer for a legal opinion on the matter. In the meantime, Kapleau said he is contacting all affected producers and advising them about the progress in distributing the appropriation to them The Good Old Days? How would you like to have livestock and meat prices rolled back to where they were 20 years ago? Sound good? But what about rolling back income as well? The average breadwinner, while paying some 30 percent less for meat would find that his take-home pay had been cut to less than half of what it is today! On the other hand, livestock pro ducers would be getting very little less than they are today ... since cattle and hog prices have increased only 20 percent in the past two decades. In the same period personal dispos able income of the average American consumer has in creased 149 percent. The animals and their actual production levels are; Roaring Maples Dusty Dee 6517204, five-years-old, 18,080 pounds milk, 775 pounds butterfat and I,s6Bpounds SNF in 305 days, Roaring Maples Ivanhoe Betty 5782892, seven-years-old, 22,350 pounds milk, 752 pounds butterfat and 1,835 pounds SNF in 305 days.

One result of the trend is that many practical Polly-Flex kitchen accessories made by Republic Molding Corporation, the Chicago firm Mrs Church represents, are enjoying re newed popularity, especially among younger homemakers with above-average concern for community as well as family welfare “Such items as sturdy dish pans, color-coordinated dram boards, and dish drainers that were nearly ‘obsolete’ a few years ago are very much in de mand again,” she explained ONE REASON seems to be that, even where there is an automatic dishwasher, the owner may be reluctant to use it more than absolutely neces sary Dishes and utensils used in cooking or baking can be im mersed in a pan of sudsy water as she goes along, then quickly washed, rinsed, and left to dry, rather than allowed to collect Given a little time to soak, even messy cooking utensils don’t pose a major clean-up challenge, she finds ZIMMERMAN'S FARM EQUIPMENT BALE ELEVATORS 724, 28, 32, 36 and 40 foot models.
