ADMINISTRATOR MAKES STATEMENT Tells Cooperati ve Institute at State College How It It Can Be Done; Govern ment Ready to Carry Out Its Program; Control of Supply Is Discussed Raleigh, July 26.—(AP)—Dr. Clyde L. King. Federal dairy products ad mlinistrator, predicted to the Amer ican Institute of Cooperation th s aft ernoon that “we can get pre-war parity prices in the dairy institute by Christmas, without a tax” if dairy farmers will help themselves. Dr. King called for further organi zat on of the dairy industry, asserting it was essential that cooperatives be organized “not only to enforce milk agreements but to help the govern ment to keep them, and this cannot be done unless organization can be perfected.” When dairy farmers agree to “run their own show,” the government will be ready to carry out the provisions of the dairy program, he said.
