Herbert Forest, dairy official with USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service in Washington, D.C. said the action will suspend the requirement that 40 percent ot receipts be disposed ot as Class 1 milk by a pool distributing plant regulated under the order. The suspension, requested by Michaels Dairies, Inc. is tem porary until hearing and posthearing bnels have been reviewed. The change is reported to be elective until February 19U2. USDA suspends javer . jum, wi. provide for student classes and laboratories as well as statewide shows and sales by agricultural groups. The Ag.Areha committee will sponsor an all-breeds sale December 11 in Harrisburg’s Farm Show Complex consisting of about 200 head of dairy and beef cattle, sheep, and swine. The Blair County Holstein Club also donated $5OO to the fund. Forest said the suspension results trom a decline in Class 1 tlmd milk sales coupled with in creased production that makes it difficult- tor dairy farmers under the order to maintain pool status. The principal cities in the Order 4. marketing area include Philadelphia, Baltimore, Md., Trenton, N.J., and Washington, D.C. "The suspension will-have no appreciable effects on the market,” reported Interstate treasurer Kobert Dever. Dairymen, Inc. division manager K.L. Struck said at the request of additional information, his co-op filed in support ot the Order 4 regulation change. He explained that the ruling will .include the Holly plant, which is how soley owned by Inter-State. Prior to the Inter-State purchase Holly was jointly owned by Inter- State and the ionner Maryland 1 Cooperative Milk Producers. The ownership, said Struck, was considered a federation ot co-ops, which would have .exempted Holly trom the present change. •Holly will now be considered a diverted milk plant,” he explained. Copies ot the suspension notice may be obtamed trom: Market Administrator Joseph L). Shine, P,O. Box 71(1, Alexandria, Virginia, 22313.
