Substantial Increase Shown
in September Returns Over
Previous Month
Milk producers are decidedly op-
timistic over results obtained from
the first month's operation of the
Btate-Federal marketing agreement
in the New York City market
Checks are now coming through Ww
Dalrymen’s League producers who
deliver to the BSpring Mills plant
for Beptember milk and show an
Increase of 53 per cent above August
returns
In terms of increased purchasing
power of local dalrymen the 222646
pounds of milk delivered during Sep-
tember at the Bpring Mills plant
brought $118002 more than would
have been realized for the same
amount of milk at the August price
This 5 good news not ony for the
dalrymen, but for every citizen In
the community because the size of
the milk checks our farmers
has more to do with local business
conditions than any other factor
The new Btate-Federal plan which
went into effect September 151 was
secured through the efforts of more
than 100 cooperative groups includ-
ing the Dalrymens League, fun
ning through the Producers’ Bar-
gaining Agency set up more than a
year ago under provisions of the
Rogers-Allen milk law. The pian
wis approved by 87% of the pro-
ducers.
