work toward a unified, efficient
use of dairymen’s dollars. A
strong supporter of the school

a higher price for milk.
Crothers is quick to applaud
Dairy Management, Inc. for tak

of dairy producers. Such steps,
according to Crothers, should be
carried through to all levels of
dairy promotion. Crothers will
