PENNY MILK
(Continued From Page One)
Jackson, Swain, Graham, Cherokee,
Clay, Haywood and Transylvania,
he said.
The Agricultural Marketing ad
ministration would agree to pay
2 cents of the producer's price,
and the children) or the sponsor
would pay the balance. For in
stance, if the producer's price is
2 cents (32 cents a gallon) the
AM A would pay 1 cent and the
sponsor or the children would
pay 1 cent. Thus the milk would
be served in schools throughout
the couraty at 1 cent a glass.
From various sources in the
county the opinion has been ex
pressed that there is no shortage
of milk supply, and that a survey
would reveal that it is entirely
practicable to put on the program
in Macon county.
A question and answer sheet
explains the simple regulations of
the Department of Agriculture in
connection with the putting on of
the program in a county. The
first essential is sponsorship by
the board of education so that a
unrey by the Department may
judge of the feasibility of the pkn.
