High School CUNTS Win Two
Games at Local Gymnasium

The start of the second stanza saw
the Comertown quint gain a sub

overcame the Comertown advantage
and finished the game with a 5 point
margin.
The game at intervals was spectac-
ular, but on numerous occasions was
dull and listless. Comertown played
a fastIbreaking offense while the To-

ly, using a slow-break as their meth
cd of attack.

INTERSTATE PRESENTS MILK
MARKETING FACTS
Data And Policies Stated Before
Control Board

Data And Policies Stated Before
Control Board
A square deal for milk producers
was the plea of the Interstate Milk
Producers Association at the Penn
sylvahia Milk Control Board hearing
at Philadelphia on February 1915.
That organization, thru it,, vice
president, Frederick Shangle asked
that the producer be given the best
possible price for his milk, stating
at the same time that the production
control is absolutely necessary in
order to protect such price.
Cost CT production plus a profit
was proposed as the ideel tasis of
setting prices to producer This
price, however, should apply only to
such milk as is needed for fluid
trade or production will be stimu-
lated to such an extent that an i'm
mense surplus will be built up,
eventually breaking the market.
In his testim ony Mr. Shangle ex-
planned the operation of the basic
suplus plan and how it has neld pro-
duction down to just a safe working
margin over fluid needs. The mar
gin has been increased slightly the
last two years due to decrea. ed con-
sumption. AS result of the oper-
alton of this plan most mix pro-
dueeIs have maintained a Uniform
production for several years, getting
high average price for their entire
output with only small portion of
their production classed or surplus.
"Most criticism of the basic-sur-
plus PLAN" says Mr.. Shangle, comes
from those farmers who have aban-
doned other types of farming and
turned to milk production because
it showed p~smises of greater profit
and those producers whose output
of milk fiuctuates sharply from sea-
son to season within the year. These
two groups of erratic producers are
prevented by the basic-surplus plan
from disrupting the market and
breaking the price for those who
have been a steady source of supply
/ for years.
F.! The Interstate also went on rec
ord as opposed to any differential in
| uo4o;I ,or;oo az ooc1, q nd cap,%, ctorac
except where such stores prove that
producres who supply milk for such
stores receive the full authorized
price and chat the dealers buying
such milk purchase it according to
the production control plan approx
ed by tie board, also that it meet all
inspection standards for milk of it's
grade.
