speaker at the semi-annual
dinner meeting of the Penn-
York milk cooperative He
listed many alarming trends
in the dairy industry in his
speech last Friday.
First, there is an increase
in milk production, he

consumption of cheese, the
backbone of the milk in
dustry. There is a tremen
dous back-up of cheese, he
stated, Cheddar cheese sales
are off 28 pecent, and
mozzarella, more, because
pizza operations have gone
into using mutation cheese.
The hauling situation is not
good, he continued, it is
getting ver\ difficult to find
truckers who can afford to
keep their equipment in good
condition.
