Milk
ChecksNow
In the Mail

Checks totaling 81, 100000 were
mailed this week to dairy farm
er-members of the Maryland Co
operative Milk Producers, Inc. in
payment of their October ship
ments of milk sold through the
Cooperative to various dairy pur-
chasers, it was announced today
by Edgar G. Enrich of Emmitts-
burg, president of the Coopera.
tive.
The total was greater than that
of September. The checks repre-.
scented payment for all milk SOLD
through the Cooperative last
month, minus a small percentage
which is charged by the organ
iZation for operating expenses.
Since the Maryland association is
a non-profit group, any sums left
over after expenses eventually go
back to the farmer-members.
The October returns were about
20 cents per hundredweight over
those for September, Mr.. Enrich
said, explaining that the increase
represented stepped-up milk pur-
chases by distributors who have
not in the past bought regularly
from the Cooperative.
Farmers in the marketing
area can look forward to even
higher returns for their Novern-
Der milk as a result of the Coop
erative's new terms of sale and
prices to buyers, which became eff
fective November l." he added.
'We believe that more than 500
non-members of the Cooperative
throughout the marketing area
have also profited by gains made
possible by our organization, y
Mr.. Enrich stated. "As a gen.
eral rule, those diaries which do
not purchase through us follow
our price pattern closely"
IF a Federal Milk Marketing
Order such as we are seeking were
in effect today, amounts on the
milk checks would be even higher
The Maryland Cooperative Milk
Producers, Inc. is underwriting
hearings in Baltimore which will
we hope, lead to such an order"
Those hearings started on Oc-
tober % before William Rogers,
a Federal examiner from the De.
partment of Agriculture. Since
then, William P. Sadler, manager
of the Cooperative, has been on
the witness stand much of the
time testifying to the Coopera-
tive's position. Last week Ralph
L. Strock, Assistant Manager,
testified that overall increased
production costs to the dairy far
mer warranted the increases
asked for in the Federal Order
proposal.
1T is believed that every dairy
farmer in the marketing area, re:
CARELESS of whether he is a mem
Der of the Cooperative, stands to
profit by such an order," Mr..
Enrich declared.

has been centered around the
last forty days of Christ's life.
It is a season of meditation
and prayer. a season for self
evaluation as well as self de-
nial. This latter thought does
not mean the giving up of
something that you especially
like or enjoy for the Lenten
season but for the rendering
of some service for others,
more time given to church at
tendance and prayer and daily
living closer TO your spiritual
beliefs. Many have done this
and been benefited for it.
Many need to do this so that
they will be benefited. There
are too many who give this
awakening season no thought
at all. There can be little
chance of escape for this lat
ter group for every means of
communication radio, tele-
vision, daily papers, periodi-
Gals, talks, sermons - have
been used to supplement the
accent and the interest of this
great season that further
awakens and uplifts the spirit
of man. Sunday will be a won
derful day in church annals.
