Hearing is Called , On Milk Policy Raleign ? Agriculture Com missioner L. Y. Ballentine 1* planning to set up an official milk classification plan for the State's 16 westernmost counties, which he has designated "a natural milk marketing area." A hearing in the matter, the Commissioner announced Mon day, will be held at 10:30 a. m., Friday, August 12, in the Superior Court room of the Buncombe County Courthouse at Asheville. The classification plan, he said, will deal only with Grade A milk sales by dairy fanners to processors and distributors in the area, and its purpose will be to establish a frame-work of classes, based on ultimate utili zation, upon which farmers will be paid for their deliveries. Classuication schedules, Ballen tine explained, concern milk ac counting practices and should not be confused with grades bas ed on purity and quality. North Carolina's first official milk classification plan was established for the Asheville milkshed on September 17, 1941, under authority of the Milk Audits Law enacted by the Gen eral Assembly earlier the same year. This plan, still in effect, will be superseded when Com missioner Ballentine proclaims one for the larger 16-county area, which embraces all of the North Carolina counties west of Cleve land, Burke and Avery. The Milk Audits Law, desi gnated to safeguard producers against "upgrading," declares it illegal for a dealer to sell milk in a higher classification than that in which he bought it. It desig nates the commissioner of agri culture the administrative auth ority with power to proclaim "natural milk marketing areas," establish milk classifications and to check the records of deal ers to see that they comply. Milk handlers, however, are free to say what they will pay for the various classes of milk, as the law gives the commission er no authority in the matter of prices, either wholesale or re tail. The present classification plan Agent Warns Against Machinery Accidents American farmers have estab lished an enviable performance in mechanizing their farm, ex cept where they have let acci dents mar the records, L. E. Tuckwiler, county agent for the State College Extension Service, said this week. America leads the world in mechanized agriculutre. Three million farm tractors now play a vital role in the production and harvesting of the nation's crops. County Agent Tuckwiler said. But at the same time. National Safety Council reports indicate that tractors may be involved in nearly 75 per cent of all acci dents with farm machinery. All these accidents are needless. The main safety rule for oper ating, tracors in the field is just good common sense. You can't afford 1 6 gamble the loss of a limb or life by operating without the power take-off shield in place. Cranking a tractor while in gear is another dangerous way to start a day's work. Excessive speed, and careless operation around ditches will also hurry a trip to the hospital. Jumping off the tractor while it is in motion is another way to invite an acci dent. Careless parents who per mit children to ride tractors or hitch a ride on trailing imple ments are not really thinking about the child's welfare. Here are a few rriore important rules: 1. Be careful coupling imple ments to tractors, always stay in the clear. 2. Avoid wearing loose, floppy clothing while operating tractors. 3. Observe standard traffic sig nals when operating on public highways. 4. Use light for night opera tor the Asheville market em braces three groupings of Grade A milk: Class I ? All fluid milk sales, creamed buttermilk, milk equivalent of cream and choco late milk. Class II ? All milk and cream used in the manufacture of ice cream. Class III ? All milk received and not included in Classes I and II (generally known iin the trade as "manufacturing imilk").
