ALEXANDRIA, Va. -
Middle Atlantic Order
Market Administrator
Joseph D. Shine Monday
announced a July 1980 base
milk price of $13.14 per
hundredweight and an ex
cess milk price of $11.66.
The weighted average
July price is $13.12 and the
butterfat differential for the
month is 16.0 cents.
Due to an order amend
ment, the July base and
excess milk pnces and the
weighted average price are
not comparable to prior
months. Beginning m July
the advertising and
promotion deduction was
increased from 7 to 12 cents
a hundredweight. Fur
thermore, the amended
order does not call for the
advertising withholding rate
to be deducted from the
weighted average price as it
was before.
Therefore, the July base
and excess milk pnces
reflect a five-cent larger
advertising deduction in
July, but a seven-cent
deduction in pnor months.
Order 4 prices are an
nounced for 3.5 percent milk

control of flies which are
causing large production
problems. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That quicker
approval be given to new

.record in favor of more
money being appropriated
for research at Penn State

Whereas, The federal

import 'of foreign
mushrooms at a rate that is
destroying our mushroom
industry. And
Whereas, The imported
mushrooms do not have to
reach our standards of
quality. And
Whereas, The imported

Resolved, That our federal
government reduce imports
and check all imported
mushrooms for chemical
residue.
