Hearing on Milk Price Rise
Is Held at fredericksburg

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct.
18.-P-Only one consumer, a
Fredericksburg business man, ap-
peared before the Virginia Milk
Commission here today to oppose
an increase in retail prices of milk
requested by more than 30 dairy
farmers in this area.
In a two-and-a half hour hear
ing in City Hall, o. Marvin Hester,
an accountant, repeatedly ques-
toned the necessity for the re-
quested increase.
Commission Chairman Upton
snavely read petition by 81 dairy
farmers asking the price increase
because "the present price is in
sufficient to insure fair and rea-
sonable return for milk and
the producers are operating at
either a loss or too small a profit
to justify their supply of milk to
the Fredericksburg market.
Several farmers asked produc-
ers prices equal to Richmond and
Washington. The farmers now are
paid base price of $525 per hun
dred pounds.

Four dairy farms IN the Fred
e:ick area were cut eff from supply
ing milk to the Washington market
for a week recently after Health
Department officials found their
milk contained more than the al
lowable percentage of water, a
department spokesman disclosed
last night.
Department inspectors made an
unannounced9 . check of milk ar
irving at a Frederick depot where
it is collected for shipment to Wash
ington dairies.
Inspectors took samples and
brought them to Washington for
analysis. According to the official,
one sample was found to contain
40 per cent and others from to
3 per cent more than the normal
amount of water in fluid milk.
No Advantage in Dilution.
AS result, Is dairy farmers were
called to a conference with depart
ment officials for an explanation,
it was said. Most of the producers
were given warnings. but four were
directed to halt shipments into this
market for a week, the official said
He said the producers gave this
explanation:
Most farms use mechanical milk
ing machines, and after each COW
is MIXED, the machinery is dipped in
chlorinated water. This is a pre-
caution against mastitis, disease
which is prevalent in nearby areas.
The suction apparatus was not
turned off during this operation,
and some of the water was sucked
into the machine. When the ma
chine was attached to another cow,
the water ran into the milk.
The department official stressed
that there was no advantage in
diluting milk since producers are
paid on the amount Of butter fat
in their product. Accordingly i.
watered milk would not bring es
much as high-quality milk.
No Excess Water in Milk Here.
The official added that milk which
is sold by Washington dairies has
not been found to contain an excess
of water because department in
spectors make daily checks on milk
processed here.
Milk sold in Washington must con-
