One of the biggest problems the coop is facing now is the presence of an* tiblotica in milk. "We find from three to five of our members with antibiotics in their milk shipments every month," Hand said. "That is far, far too many, and we’ve just got to be more careful.

Saturday, Jan. 25,1975 antibiotics in milk. But a Justice of the peace threw the state’s case out because it was poorly prepared. If they had won their case, the state officials said they would have seized all the dealer’s milk that was in the stores, and ail the milk that was in the plant. "That kind of action, and the publicity about it, can ruin a dealer the same way it ruined the sales of canned mushrooms. And we cannot let It happen." The problem of discovering the antibiotics in milk is that the test takes 12 hours to complete. Hand pointed out. This makes it impractical to test the milk from every farm or even from every tank truck. “We can’t ask farmers or drivers to hold their milk for 12 hours while we’re running the tests," Hand said. “The best way to deal with the problem is to keep antibiotics out of the milk. If you've had a cow that’s been treated, hold her milk for at least two days. If we find antibiotics in a farmer’s milk, our present system calls for suspending him for two days.” Besides Dr. Hand, the meeting heard from Associate Lancaster County Agent N. Alan Bair, Donald B. Trimble, who reported on young cooperator activities, J. Everett Kreider, who reported for the delegates attending the annual meeting in Philadelphia, and Robert McSparran, district 3 director. The meeting was chaired by Curtis Akers, district 3 president. McSparran presented an award for 25 years of con tinuous membership to the Young Brothers Farm, Peach Bottom RDI. Ray Young accepted the award on behalf of himself and his two brothers, Henry and Earl. Alan Bair told the group they should be looking for least cost rations to hold production expenses down, and to make the best possible use of home grown feed. “If you’ve got a cow milking 30 pounds a day, and she’s eating good alfalfa hay, she may not need any extra protein,” Bair said. “Your ability to produce top quality alfalfa is one of the best things you have going for you in times like these.” Bair reminded the group of the upcoming annual Dairy Day, set for March 4, and said that the milking school scheduled for February 5 and 6 has been filled up. Rohrer [Continued From Page 1] as many other conservation practices in 1974. In May, 1974, he built over 4000 feet of cropland terraces emptying into a tile line instead of a sod waterway. This project, on the Landis Weaver farm, Quarryville, R 2, was the first of its type in the area. Rohrer also recently completed construction of a two-acre lagoon with a dam breast 450 feet long and 20 feet high on the Henry Young farm, another first for the area.
