MILK AGREEMENT
HELD RU|NOUS
c. c. Gore, Leesburg Dairy
man, Sees Shortage Under
Terms Approved.

Ruination Of many Independent
dairymen and q definite milk short
age in the District by October were
predicted today by Coleman c. Gore,
milk broker of Leesburg, Va, if the
milk marketing agreement recon-
mended by the Dairy Division Of the
Department of Agriculture and ten
tatively approved by Secretary Wallace
becomes effective.
1.-The proposed regulation as to basic
quantity allowed each producer is
unreasonable as to all dairymen and
particularly unjust and discriminating
to Independent producers" Gore said.
1.-THE order means the complete sur
render of every advantage of organ
lied sales power on the part of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers
Association. If the association officers
vote its membership for this agree
ment, which means definite loss in
dollars and cents to majority Of the
producers on this market, with little
or no benefit to any one, then I pre-
dict the quick dissemination of the
association as its usefulness to the
producers will have ended. If the off,
GERS and directors of the association
are unable or unwilling to assert the
rights of the producers they repre-
sent, then they should resign and de-
liver back to the producers the right
to elect representation that has the
determination to demand a fair deal.
The directors should not surrender
the position so clearly maintained at
the hearing in Washington Of the pro-
ducers' clear right to a Accent increase
per gallon.
Below Production Cost.
1.-THE price suggested Is below pro-
duction costs. 1t will mean ruination
to a large number of dairymen and
will bring about definite milk short
age by October l.
81 am gratified that the dairy divi-
sion did accept the testimony offered
by the expert witnesses called from
the Federal Trade Commission as to
operation costs and transportation
costs OF receiving stations and ac-
cordingly lowered the differential
allowed on milk received at receiving
stations. Also that the differential
allowed on cream was lowered. This
recommendation Of the dairy division
based on accurate information from
well qualified witnesses definitely
shows how unreasonable the differ
entails have been for years past when
they have ranged from "a cents per
hundredweight, or cents per gallon,
down to the present suggestion Of IS
cents per hundredweight. or approx
mately cents per gallon. Such unreal
sonable and unwarranted advantages
as these which have been given the
dairy products corporations have made
them wax IN riches while the poorly
represented dairyman niortgaged his
farm and herd and borrowed himself
poor from his bank and his friends."

 The commissioner paid tribute to 9upt. Condon for his cooperation iil the educational campaign in the schools and to newspapers through out the state for their willingness to publicize safety drives.
