FINAL MILK HEARING
SOT FOR RALEIGH, MAT ?
;
D. S. Coltrane, chairman of the
five-man committee named by Agri
culture Commissioner Kerr Scott to
draw up minimum Statewide
ards for the production and sale
milk, has anaooneed that these regu
lations will be presented to the State
Board of Agriculture at a . public
meeting to be held in Raleigh at 10
o'clock, Thursday morning.
Within the past two weeks hear
ings on the regulations have been
held at Raleigh, Asheville, Charlotte,
Greensboro, Fayetteville and Green
ville. - ^S^pHBgg||
Various suggestions on the regula
tions presented at these meetings
were made, and the committee is
studying thesfc revisions carefully in
the preparation of a final draft for
submission to the board.
In urging a good attendance at the
final hearing, Commissioner Scott
said: "Our first duty is to tee con
sumer of milk. We must protect the
public. However, it is also our duty
to draw up regulations which will
prove reasonable and practicable. We
want something our dairy industry
can live under. With the help of the
public, we believe we can come out
of these deliberations with a set of
regulations which will prove fair to
everybody."
Spud Growers Must
Have Certificates
Certificates of eligibilty for parti
cipation in the 1947 price support
Vim gram for early commercial Irish
potatoes most be filed at the local
county AAA office before the close
of business on May 31, J. V. Taylor,
chaiman of the Pitt county AAA
committee, announced several days
ago.
Mr. Taylor said that potato pro
ducers planting within their acreage
goals and meeting all terms and con
ditions of eligibility requirements
will be certified as eligible and re
ceive marketing cardrf for keeping
records; of sales.
Mr. Taylor pointed out that pota
toes offered by growers for price sup
port will be subject to a service fee
of one cent per hundred weight but
in no cape less than fS.00 to take
care of inspection, storage, and other
loan servicing.
Support prices for 1947 early com
mercial crop are |2.60 for June-July
period and 32.40 for August. These
prices are for 100-pound bags grad
ing U. S. No. 1 which are sacked
and loaded, F. O. B., through carrier
in carlots or trucklots at country
shipping points.
If Government purchase of pota
toes becomes necessary, Mr. Taylor
said, they may be disposed of
through approved non-food or indus
trial outlets such as livestock feed,
starch, flour, glucose, alcohol, or
school lunchrooms.
The outlook for outlets of this type
is not very encouraging, Mr. Tay
lor said, and it is probable that pur
chases will be confined to
