Honan noted, hinting that
the Increase may be due to
Increased awareness on the
part of housewives that milk
is a good buy. “Ad
vertisements haven’t hurt
any,” said Boyd Gartley in a
telephone conversation after
the meeting. He heads the
co-op’s public relations
department.
Honan said the actual
price of milk in the store is
still about the same as it was
18 months ago, if per gallon
prices are used. Marketing
milk in larger containers has
been a trend which is cat
ching on, he indicated, while
smaller amounts of milk
have taken the increase in
price.
A bill proposing an 85
percent parity level for milk
is presently awaiting action
from President Ford, Honan
announced, adding that the
figure is considered to be “a
bit too high" by many dairy
leaders. The alternative to

Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Jan 24.1976
the 85 percent parity rate Is a
proposal which would leave
it at 80 percent with quar
terly adjustments
Switching his talk back to
prices which might be ex
pected later this year, the
cooperative leader noted
that premiums have not been
necessary for Class I mUk
since Oct. 1 and that they are
likely to remain dormant
unless significant drops in
the price of milk are en
countered this summer. But
the situation is different with
□ass II milk. A 10-cent over -
Order price adjustment
(premium) is still in effect.
At any rate, if a Class I
premium is initiated later
this year, it is not likely to be
as large as it was during last
year, Honan indicated.
Focusing his attention on
the Order 4 expansion
program, Honan
acknowledged that there
were some difficulties en
countered but that the
“general questions are now
pretty well finished.” He
also .ipokc briefly on the
confronlntlon between Order
4 and Order 2, which
amounts to an accusation
from Order 2 that Order 4 Is
moving in on its market The
solution, Honan said, is not
one-sided He explained that
the controversy has existed
(or a long time and is likely
to stay If and when solved, it
will have to be through the
leadership of all
cooperatives involved, not
just Inter-State
Two questions facing the
cooperative at the present
lime are “balancing milk,”
which is basically a question
of how to handle the
perishable product over
holidays and weekends The
other questions concerns
every producer, and is one
which “you can’t always run
away from,” Honan said. He
was referring to hauling
discounts and urged
members to continue pon
dering the issue.
In other activities at the
District 3 meeting, Associate
County Agent, Alan Bair
announced that a DHIA
workshop will be held at the
Quarryville Fire Hall during
the morning of Feb. 4, and
that Dairy Day is March 2.
Donna Akers, the County’s
Dairy Princess, offered
remarks concerning her
reign and encouraged any
eligible girl to seek the title.
K. D. Linde presented the
delegate’s report from the
annual Inter-State meeting
which was held at the Host
Resort in Lancaster last
November.
Linde told the group that
the highlight of the meeting
was directed towards a
better relationship with the
public, and that it was a
“really inspiring” ex
perience for him to see the
proceedings first-hand.
Expressing amazement at
all of the ideas which were
presented at the two-day
affair, Linde opinionized that
raising the milk advertising
and promotion deduction to 8
cents would be “okay” in
view of higher milk prices.
In concluding his remarks,
he said attending the annual
meeting was a “real
satisfaction” and en
couraged others to “come to
the meeting to see how
farmers cooperate and
work.”
Five 4-H’ers were honored
at the District 3 meeting for
their achievements with
dairy projects. They were;
Jane McSparran, Debbie
Crider, and Mary Kirk, all of
whom are members of the
Golden Guernsey Club; and
Karen and Ellen Schmuck
who participate in Ayrshire,
Brown Swiss, and Jersey
activities.
Twenty-five year mem
berships were awarded to
Mrs. Edgar Jackson and
Son; Enos Peiffer; and
Robert McSparran, who
serves as director for the
District.
McSparran raised some
eyebrows in the audience
more than once while
presenting a brief talk on the
dairy business as it was
during previous decades. In
1900, for example, his father
shipped 1,563 pounds of milk
one month - which were
churned into 66 pounds of
butter. Taking three pounds
of butter home with him for
his own use, the elder Mc-
Sparran was paid 19 cents
per pound for the balance,
giving him a “net milk
check” for the month which
totalled up to $11.97.
