Milk advertising
[Continued from Page 1]
promotion program is
presently effective only for
those dairymen who market
their milk through an Order
4 handler. The cooperatives
and their members which
support this new program
have taken an un
precedented first step with
this move. Other milk
marketing areas are still at
the five cent per hun
dredweight level for ad
vertising and promotional
CENTRAL
efforts. The increase was
requested by several dairy
cooperatives within Order 4
in view of the fact that other
areas of the budget have
gone up in cost and a nickel
today no longer goes as far
as it did a few years ago.
Some of the dairy
cooperatives which will be
affected by this new order
include; Inter-State Milk
Producers, Maryland
Cooperative Milk Producers,
Maryland-Virginia Milk
Producers, Lehigh Valley
Cooperative, Eastern Milk
Producers, Capitol Milk
Producers, Dairylea, and
Valley of Virginia. Some
cooperatives, such as
Dairylea and Eastern, only
market a portion of their
milk within Order 4.
The provisions of the order
signed on Monday by Feltner
are the same as those
recommended in a final
decision on Aug. 9 of this
year. Copies of the recently
okayed order may be ob
tained by writing to Joseph
D. Shine, market ad
ministrator, 300 North Lee
Street, Suite 320, Alexandria,
Va.
