But don’t jump to the conclusion that you’re out of the (marketing) woods already. First of all, look where the 56 cents came from last month. Tbe biggest part was tbe 40 cent Louisville Plan payment you made in June but not in July. Your Class n price jumped 19 cents over last month, but 14 cents of that was the season ad justment going from minus three cents in June to plus 11 cents in July. So, between the Louisville Plan payment and the seasonable adjustment you got 54 cents out of the 56 cent Washed lamb competition TTMONIUM After a one year break, the 4-H and FFA lamb fitting and showing contest returned to the Maryland State Fair last week with a new set of rules. It is now a washed lamb event, instead of the un washed lamb competition of earlier years. Jeffrey Hagerty, 13, of Clarksburg, was the junior champion in this year’s contest, and Hughy F. Salfner, Jr., 17, of Rossville was the senior champion. Hughy’s sister, Patricia Salfner, won the same honor in 1978. Hughy belongs to the Sparks 4-H club, and was ALASKA KODIAK WOODBURNERS FIREPLACE INSERT Fits into your existing fireplace complete with all parts, including blower and instructions for easy installation Specifications (Large) Burning time 10 to 12 hours Heating capacity with blower, 2,500 Sq ft, without blower 2,000 Sq. ft Fireplace minimum opening 23*/2” high x 32*/4” wide x IS 3 /*” deep Effective Now Factory Authorized Super Sale of 1980 MANY OTHER MODELS AVAILABLE CHESTER B.

You got that mostly from a 4.8 percent drop in production and a 1.7 percent increase in Class I sales over last month. This raised your utilization to 40.4 percent compared to last month’s very low 37.7 percent. Then there was a 2 cent increase in your Class I price and 5 cents on Class II (without the seasonal dif ferential) which also helped a little. I think it’s important for you to know what is the “real” milk price when the announced price is stripped of all the “extras.” This way you can more accurately evaluate changes in the marketing situation and not be misled by taking the figures at face value and showing his Montadale ewe. Other contestants in the senior contest were Stuart Hoover, 15, of Mount Airy, placing second, and Joe Hagerty, 17, of Clarksburg third. Joe is a brother of the junior winner. The washed lamb fitting and showing competition consists of two parts. Con testants must supply their own lambs which have been washed, dried and in full fleece prior to entering the show nng. The contestants are given one hour to fit their sheep. They them show the sheep before a panel of three judges. making the wrong con- highest for that month in Order 2 since 1971. But July even with a 4.8 percent drop was the highest since 1966. Even the 1.7 percent in crease in Class 1 sales was no big deal since it was still the third lowest for the month in the last 13 years. /jb 1 I 2 i N^fEO^/ MOMENT ON THE PROGRESS THEY’VE MADE.
