New Milk Co-op
Files Corporate
Papers In Ohio

Incorporation papers have been
filed with the secretary of state
for formation of new central
Ohio milk producers cooperative
to be known as the Mid-Ohio Pro-
ducerS' Association.
The move was considered a
break with the directorship of the
Central Ohio Cooperative Milk
Producers Association which has
acted as bargaining agent for milk
producers in ii central Ohio
counties.
The central Ohio organization,
Incorporated in 1916, serves as
agent for member producers in
bargaining with the federal gov
ernment agency which sets milk
prices.
Harold Montgomery of Johns
town was listed as president of the
new Mid-Ohio association.
The older group members are
within an area roughly bounded
by Mount Vernon on the north,
Utica on the east, Mechanicsburg
on the west and Mount Sterling
and Lancaster on the south.
J. r. Bridensteine, secretary of
the old group, said he was not
aware of the new organization.
He added the impending fight be-
tween the two groups will have
nothing to do with prices since
prices are fixed by federal order
following hearings.
