The Mueller Models “OH” and “MHL” with HiPerForm make all other
bulk milk coolers obsolete.
If you are in the market for a bulk milk cooler and you don’t check

in accepted guidelines and

The proposals were
thoroughly discussed with
grower organizations,

ticularly the Pennsylvania

Division of the Pennsylvania

they approved of them.

Bureau was not seeking
mandatory electrical
reinspections every three
years as it had originally
planned to do. Electrical
inspections still wotdd be
required when any major
construction changes in
camps are undertaken, he
said. Also, the inspection
program in 1974 was so
successful that there were no
fires in migrant labor camps
attributed to electrical
deficiencies.
Some of the changes in the
regulations involved
requirements for acceptable
shelter construction and
necessary space for adults
and children, reduction in
minimum lighting

with new national guidelines
and energy considerations,

specifications for a required

with the Department of
Health and definition of a
migrant labor camp itself to
include specific perimeter

One issue on which there is
still disagreement between
the Department and the
growers is the number of

The regulations call for
growers to notify DER that
campers are ready to in
spection no less than 45 days
before the expected
reopening date. The
Department recommended
continuing the 45-day
regulations while the
growers want it shortened to
30 days.

Middendorf said he felt the
45 days was necessary to
give the Department suf
ficient time to schedule the
inspection among other
activities, to give the grower
more time to make any
corrections which are
necessary and to cover
situations such as happened
last year when migrant
workers arrived in camps 30
to 40 days before the an
ticipated reopening date and
were housed in the camp
buildings.
Rep, W. W. Wilt, R-Blair, a
member of the Board,
moved that the regulations
be amended to include the 30-
The Ortho agronomist is a soil scientist, whose
consultation services are available through the
Ortho fertilizer dealer.
He deals in programs, lending the soundest
possible “agronomic” advice, this means,
simply, that he determines the proper type of
fertilizer to use, the correct amount, the right
placement, and the most effective timing.
Tailoring a profitable recommendation for your
individual cropping situation is his goal, and he
has the credentials to do the job right. Things
like an academic grounding from an agricultural
university and continuing personal field research.
These keep him on top of the latest develop
