INTERSTATE PRESENTS
MILK MARKETING FACTS
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
sylvania Milk Control Board hear
ing at Philadelphia on February Is
16. That organization. through its
vice president. Frederick Shangle.
asked that the producer be given the
best possible price for his milk,
stating at the same time that pro-
duction control is absolutely neces-
sary in order to protect such a price.
Cost of production plus a profit
was proposed as the ideal basis of
setting prices to producers. This
price, however. should apply only to
such milk as is needed for fluid
trade or production will be stimulat-
ed to such an extent that an i'm
mense surplus will be built up,
eventually breaking the market.
In his testimony MIR. Shangle ex-
planned the operation of the basic
surplus plan and how it has held
production down to just a safe work.
ing margin over fluid needs. This
margin has been increased slightly
the last two years due to decreased
consumption. AS result of the OPP
Grafton of this plan most milk pro-
ducers have maintained a uniform
production for several years, getting
a high average price for their en-
tire output with only a small por-
tiOn 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
il showed promises of greater profit
and those producers whose output of
milk f1ucuates sharply from season
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.
The Interstate also went on rec
ord as opposed to any differential in
retail price at cash-and-carry stores
except where such stores prove that
producers who supply milk for such
stores receive the full authorized
price and that the dealers buying
such milk purchase it according to
the production control plan approx
ed by the hoard, also that It meet all
standards for milk of its
grade.

There have been several inquiries
made at the Chronicle Office during
the past week about just how deep
the earth was frozen, and to satisfy
the curious an examination was
made by a representative of this
company who found that frost had
penetrated the earth to depth of 80
inches. Last Wednesday on the
same day the test was made, the
mercury took a downward drop, and
at a. m. record OF two below zero
was noted; this sub-zero tempera-

NEW YORK. July II d.N.s0.
Successive waves Of buying turned
the cotton market sharply upward
in late dealings today. and early
losses Of 50 cents a bale were con,
verted into equal gains.
Sentiment was aided by firming
tendencies in stocks and strength
in grains. Demand came from
domestic trade sources, profes-

New Orleans.
The recovery movement brought
in some short coverings. Offer.
ings dwindled appreciably.
At the start Of the final hour,
futures were up 2 to 10 points.

TRADE LAGGARD
REPORT SHOWS

Although the result Of price
revisions on heavy and fine chem
icalS last week was q slight in
crease in the general average, the
markets as a whole were dull in
every respect, the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter said today. A
little activity in refrigerants and
a few other seasonal articles and
the continued scarcity Of some
coaltar solvents were the only
bright spots. There was much
expectation in the paint materials
group over the possibilities Of the
national housing program.
Only one price advance was
made among the more important
articles, menthol being quoted
higher. Reductions were made in
imported potash fertilizers, crude
iodine, and santonin.
The Reporters composite index
number for prices Of heavy and
fine chemicals rose from 1864 to
1865 Compared with August !,
1914, as 1000. In comparison with
average prices in 1925 (aS 1000,
the Reporters index number is
now 800, against Oils at this time

DROUGHT HELPS
SURPRISES

Reduced supplies Of milk as a
result Of the recent drought have
done much to improve the sta
tistical position Of the dairy prod.
uctS industry and to strengthen
its profits outlook, observes the
Standard Statistics Company, Of
New York, currently.
Despite q record number Of cows
on farms, milk production has
been below 1888 levels during most
of the current year. The drought
seriously impaired pastures and
raised feed prices. On June /
only 1874 per cent Of dairy cows
were being MIXED, and milk pro-
duction Of 1886 pounds per COW
was the lowest ever reported for
that date. Total milk output was
about S per cent below that Of q
year earlier.
Recent seasonal expansion Of
storage supplies Of products manu-
featured from milk SurpluSeS has
been less than normal. Holdings
Of butter on June ] were well be-
low those We year before and be-
low the five-year average for that
date. Cheese stocks are still above
the average for the past five years,
but Subnormal production in COM
ing months is expected to bring
them below the average before the
end of the summer.
Expanded general buying power
has contributed to the better in
ventory situation. Butter con-
sumption is reported to be increas.
ing, while sales Of evaporated and
condensed milk are at relatively
high levels. Ice cream operations
have now entered the season of
peak activityi gallonage sales for
the full year may exceed the 1898
total by as much as 10 per cent.
The fluid milk division Of the
industry, which ordinarily con-
tributes 3 major and relatively
stable portion of distributors reve-
nues, also will derive considerable
benefit from reduced milk produc-
ton. PricQGutting competition
should be alleviated and seasonal
price concessions may be mini
mized or completely avoided.

MO TOR SALES.
ENCOURAGE
High Low 100

DETROIT, July 1.-THE first
week of July brought a slight
recession in retail sales Of auto
mobiles, q normal development
due to the Fourth Of July holt
day. But the drop this year
was less than expected. and sales
executives are confident that fig
ures for the week just ended will
show recovery. Moreover, the
general sentiment is that sales
will hold at close to the pres
ent level throughout the month.
On the basis Of returns from
16 States, June registrations ran
slightly under May, preliminary
estimate placing total for pas
senger cars at 215,000 and for
trucks at $4,000, an aggregate Of
247, 900 units. These figures COM
pare with registrations OF 49,
1853 passenger cars and 39,S31
trucks, or a total Of 258,994 We
hicles in May, this year, and
with 174,190 passenger cars and
23,524 trucks, or 1854 units in
June, last year.
Actual retail sales are believed
to have been somewhat higher
than indicated by registrations.
Figures based on factory reports
probably reached a high for the
year which would make June the
best sales month since May,
1881. Normally many cars sold
toward the end Of June are not
titled until the following month
to take advantage of the mid
year reduction in license fee. A
so per cent reduction on July l
was effective in 10 States.
