Inter-State District
7 Holds Annual Meet
District 7 of the Interstate
Milk Producers Cooperative
held its annual dinner
meeting on Thursday at
Hostetler’s Dining Hall in
Mount Joy. Guest speaker
was Dr. James E. Honan,
Interstate’s secretary and
general manager.
Honan told the group that
the marketing situation for
milk is going through a
period of upheaval, and that
there are many groups vying
for the dairymen’s output.
Honan explained the Inter-
State marketing philosophy,
saying that this cooperative
was aiming for high Gass
One utilization, and ex
tension of Federal Milk
Marketing Order 4, and
noting that their base
program has produced one of
the levelest milk production
markets in the country.
Daniel Martin, an Inter-
State director from
Manheim, explained the
value of advertising to the
group, and scored a recent
article in Consumer Reports
which said that milk was an
overpriced food low in
nutritive value.
County agent Max Smith
also talked to the' group
about gasoline and fertilizer
shortages. He said the fer
tilizer value of manure was
never so important as it is
today with high prices and
shortages, and he advised
farmers to manage then
animal wastes carefully.
Smith also invited the group
to a meeting on farmland
assessment scheduled for
7:30 p.m., Wednesday,
March 13, at the Farm and
Home Center.
During the meeting, 25-
year membership awards
were presented to three
members. John Thomas, Jr.,
Millersville RDI, was
present to receive his award.
Not present but receiving
awards were H. Landis
Huber, Lititz RD2, and
