Summertime
The Summer Solstice, the first day of summer in the northern
I hemisphere, arrives on June 20, at 10:14 p.m EST, when the
I Sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer, (23 'A° north latitude)
People who live at this latitude (in the town of Georgetown in
the Bahamas, for instance) see the Sun directly overhead at
noon The rest of us notice that the Sun is higher in the sky
throughout the day, and Us rays strike the earth at more direct
angle, causing the more efficient warming we call summer In
the winter, just the opposite occurs the Sun, at 23l£° south lat
itude. is low in the sky as seen from the northern hemisphere
and its ravs hit the earth at an oblique angle, creating the tec
hie sunlight we expect in winter
A summer’s sun is worth the having.

ADC Meets Farmers' Needs
More Than $124 Million in Extra Payments
"At Atlantic Dairy Cooperative, our mission
is to maximize returns to members. In the past
five years, we returned more than $124 million
to members in equity payments, over-order
premiums and quality bonuses. That's an
average of $35,500 per member. And these
extra dollars are continuing at the rate of $1.5
million a month.
"When non-members ask me why they
should belong to Atlantic Dairy Cooperative,
I am happy to report that we are financially
healthy, strong in membership and growing in
sales. ADC is the region's largest and most
fiscally-sound cooperative, with a guaranteed
market and outstanding benefits.
"More dairy farmers joined us last year than at any time in the
past decade. If you are not an ADC shipper and are worried about
your own milk market, then you should talk to the cooperative that
is facing the future with confidence."
