Day-to-Day Operations
OF a Dairyn1an-Feeder
By ALBERT KING


coolers and the elimination of that UNI
slightly, unsanitary and unwieldy 10
gallon milk can is the next major step
forward for us dairymen. I've been
for a long time that the
change was coming but did not know
just how soon.
1t is a terribly expensive change-over,
affecting both the producer and the
distributor. A tank for the dairy farm
will cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000.
depending on good many things such
as size of cow herd, number of milk
ings necessary to store, frequency OF
the pickup, etc.
The distributor is also under heavy
expense, since a tank truck may cost
from SIS, 1000 up. He will surely figure
that the change will be profitable for
him, paying back his investment with
interest. I've been told that the bulk
handling of milk has become the stand
ard method in most OF the major milk
producing areas of the country. At
first there were some difficulties in
meeting sanitary requirements in some
states but these have all been cleared
up and the method is accepted almost
everywhere.
NeighbOrs Make Change
A good neighbor of mine and his wife
have just returned from trip to Wis
consin where they purchased a tank
cooler and brought it home on their
truck. The saving in freight was
enough to pay for their nice trip and
they are enthusiastic about making
the change.
1t seems that the distributors have
to take the lead in establishing the
bulk handling of milk and when one
decides to go the bulk tank route his
producers must either follow suit or
find a new market for their milk I
have not been notified by my plant
man as yet and think perhaps I can
hold on until spring but, while holding
on, I am making definite plans to
switch when the time comes.
In my opinion the change to bulk
handling of milk is fine thing for the
dairy business. 1t is true that many
farmers who are milking from 10 tC
20 cows will virtually be forced out
of that particular phase of their farm
ing enterprise. They will either have
to sell cream or feed the milk to live
stock or quit milking COWS.
Those who choose to stay in the bust
ness of producing Grade A milk vii
improve their plants, increase the siz
of their herds and do a better job @
dairying. Having larger unit wi
increase their volume of income an
thereby the net profit (if any, will b
,, greater. At least they will have a
economic size unit.
6 Out of Date
l. I think the 10 to 15-cow dairy hel
y is just as old fashioned and out of plat
e today as the hustle or the 100 &C
g wheat farm or the horse drawn far
y equipment of so years ago. It's pure
ID an economic change which is TAXI

lie good for the industry though they m

Judge Chosen
For Bond Suit

Arguments on the validity of
Arlington's recent school and
county improvement bond refer
endums will be heard September
10 by Corporation Court Judge
Lawrence w. Hanson of Ports
mouth.
Judge TAnson was called in
after Arlington's three Circuit
Court Judges agreed to dis
qualify themselves because they
had Endorsed the courthouse
referendum in a County Board
School Board pamphlet.
The cruX of the case is
whether Arlington officials did
or did not spend tax money
illegally to publicize the June 5
bond issue questioned. Voters
that day approved a $4.5 million
bond issue for classroom con-
struction and a $2.2 million
issue for courthouse expansion.
The validity of the referen-
dums is being challenged by
Attorney William w. Burdette,
jr., and Jack Rathbone, former
head of the Arlington Chapter,
Defenders of State Sovereignty
and Individual Liberties. The
school board is being represented
by Attorney James H. Simmonds
and the County by Common

Boards Doubts
Depress Lee

A Montgomery County dele
gate yesterday said he was de-
pressed to learn county school
board members were dubious
about the Observation-Disclosures
Capital Park and Planning Com
MISSIONS new master plan for
schools, parks and recreation
areas.
Blair Lee, III. chairman of the
county delegation to the Mary
land General Assembly, made
the comment at a ground break
ing ceremony at the Silver
Spring site of the planning COM
missions recently authorized
100000 regional headquarters
building for Montgom cry
County.
The ceremony, held on a two
acre tract at Georgia avenue
and Spring street. was attended
by area political leaders, plan
ming commission members and
county government representa-
tives.
In an obvious reference to a
school board meeting on Mon
day. Mr.. Lee declared.
Il was depressed last night to
read that the Board of Educa-
ton was fearful of compromiS-
ing its rights and responsibilities
as an autonomous agency :"
The planning agency's new
school-recreation plan recon-
mends combined school and rec
reation facilities in the future
developments. The commission
invited the school board to name
two members to sit on a joint
study committee with planners.
Mrs. Helen Scharf, president
of the school board. and board
member Lathrop Smith. Monday
repeated their previously stated
opinion that the planning COM
missions proposal would consti-
tute an abrogation of school
board powers.
Mr.. Lee said he feels the COM
missions master plan for school
and park sites will lead to
great savings-if the necessary
cooperation is forthcoming"
officials at the ceremony
heard Blanchard Randall, out
going Maryland secretary of
state, read a speech prepared
for the occasion by Gov. Nickel
din of Maryland.
In the speech. the Governor
said he will recommend broader
authority for the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac
River Basin to give it control
over water pollution.

The plan would continue the
present strip coming along Marl-
boro pike but would try to pre-
vent its southwark movement
beyond Silver Hill road.
Smaller Centers Provided
The proposals allow for two
other small commercial centers.
one at Forestville road and Marl-
boro road and the other at Addi-
son street and District parkway
in District Heights.
Also proposed is an extension
OF County road from Marlboro
road to Suitland road.
Mr.. Quicker said this prelim-
mary proposal also calls for
higher density residential use of
the land in the area, most of
which presently is zoned for one
half acre lots. His proposal
would change this to $500 square
foot lots.
The proposed plan will be sub
jected to further revision before
1t is set for public hearing. Adop-
ton of the plan provides only
a guide for the commission to
use in making its coming recon-
mendations to the county COM
miSSioners.

Charges Dropped
Against Virginion
In Mothers Death

A manslaughter charge against
an Irvington (Va.) man, filed
Saturday after his mother died
when he struck her, was nolle
pressed today by the Prince
Georges County Assistant States
Attorney.
Thomas R. Brooks said the
State could not prove man
slaughter since an autopsy of the
50-year-old victim. made after
the charge was placed, showed
death was due to natural causes,
a cerebral hemorrhage, and not
by the blow on the head.
William c. Christopher, 81,
told police he struck his mother
Mrs. Edith v. Dawson, when
she reached over from the back
seat of the car and pulled his
hair as he was driving to Balti-
more on Route 301 near Hall

Democrat Aim
Is monopoly,
Hyde Asserts

Representative Hyde, Repuh-
lican of Maryland, said yester-
day the voters this fall will have
a choice between the strong, in
dependent economy and govern
ment of the Republicans or the
monopolistic control of the
Democrats.
Mr.. Hyde, who is opposed by
Montgomery County Orphans
Court Judge John r. Foley, said
that while the principal theme
of the G. o. P. will be peace,
progress and prosperity" an
other important issue involves
the very form of our Govern
ment and the nature of our
economy"
He told the Georgetown XII
wants Club:
1T is a choice between
strong economy of independent
businessmen and monopolistic
control by the state and by big
private monopolies."
He said the New Deal ele-
ment which controls the Demo-
cratic Party nationally" has at
tackled the Republicans for
attempting to prevent govern
ment monopoly of the distribu-
ton of power.
They have attacked the Re-
publicanS for giving and at
tempting to give tax relief to
business.
They have accused us of
giveaways because the Repub-
licans disposed of many manu-
featuring enterprises which were
competing with private bust
ness" he said.
And he said the Democrats
have fought the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's farm program
which he said would let the de-
mandS of the marketplace play
"a greater part in adjusting farm
surpluseS.
