This, Mr.. Pearson explained, is
because 81 per cent of the total
amount of milk produced in the
Nation now goes into consump-

is surplus but this surplus milk
drives prices downward.
Once a year each dairyman
would be assessed 10 cents for
each hundredweight of milk he
produced. This. Mr.. Pearson said,
would create a fund Of about
500 million.
Money from this fund would
be used to purchase the surplus
milk, thus supporting the price.
