Special Dispatch to The Star.
FREDERICK, Md, March lover
production of milk in Maryland and
Virginia is threatening to cut the
pay checks Of dairymen. Methods of
keeping down surplusage We're out
lined at a meeting of the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation in this city, addressed by
Frank S. Walker, Leesburg, Va, who
advised farmers not to attempt to
market increased quantities of milk
If they hope to keep the price at the
present level.
There is" said Mr.. Walker, more
reason for a surplus in Washington
today than last year Last year con-
siderable building operation was in
progress, employing a great many
workmen, who consumed large guam
titles of milk. At this time farmers
are suffering from depression in
wheat and other products. The de-
preston in milk, because Of the pres
ent surplus, is small compared with
what farmers have TO meet
THE situation that confronts
dairymen is that they are producing
maximum amount of milk with "A
dull market. We had four times as
much milk in January and February
as we expected. The Washington
market is glutted. 1t is using as
much as 1t can absorb. Further at
tempts to force sales will make the
market price unstable"
