MILK 



Quality Milk Association of Moline re- 

 ports that the milk inspector of Davenport 

 has just recently informed them of certain 

 requirements of producers of milk for that 

 market which must be met by May 1, 1939. 

 On and after that date, milk which reaches 

 the dairy at a temperature over 60° F. will 

 be rejected, except morning's milk which is 

 delivered to a plant within two hours of 

 production. Milk houses must have an im- 

 pervious (concrete) floor. Because of the 

 intersale of milk by dealers in the Quad-City 

 area, such a requirement by one city, in ef- 

 fect, makes the requirement compulsory upon 

 almost all producers shipping to any dairy 

 in that area. 



Producers in the Quad Cities Market are 



considering a revision of their federal milk 

 marketing license that has been in effect 

 since June 1934, reports C. W. Huppert, 

 Manager of Quality Milk Association. Pro- 

 ducers believe that the present agreement 

 does not aflFord the full measure of protec- 

 tion on minimum prices that could be ob- 

 tained if the license were replaced with a 

 marketing agreement or order under the 

 new Agricultural Marketing Act of 1937. 

 Mr. Huppert reports that the present license 

 has worked well and has been valuable in 

 maintaining stabilitv between dealers in the 

 purchase of milk and equality among pro- 

 ducers. 



The annual meeting of the Illinois Milk 



Producers Association was set for Monday, 

 January 30, at 10:00 a.m. in the Stevens 

 Hotel, Chicago, by the executive committee 

 of the Illinois Milk Producers Association 

 at a recent meeting. 



The Decatur milk price to producers was 

 advanced from $1.65 per cwt. to $1.75 per 

 cwt. in November for 3.5% milk delivered 

 in Decatur, reports M. Wilkerson, manager 

 of the Decatur Milk Producers Association. 

 This same price will prevail for all milk de- 

 liveries in December. 



Our association is now doing business 

 with all distributors in Freeport, reports 

 Ralph Lundquist, Manager of the Stephenson 

 County Pure Milk Association. Mr. Lund- 

 quist states that recently Vohlken Bros, with- 

 drew from Standard Dairy and purchased the 

 Pearl Valley Dairy, who had never pur- 

 chased their supply from the Association but 

 who, since the purchase of the company, now 

 buy of the association. 



The annual meeting of the Stephenson 

 County Pure Milk Association will be held 

 in late January. 



Pulaski Denny, secretary of the Canton 



Milk Producers Association (Fulton county) 

 reports that in cooperation with their deal- 

 ers, they have been advertising milk in the 

 newspapers and theatres of Canton. "We 

 have between fifty and sixty percent of the 

 business of this territory," reports Mr. Den- 

 ny. Jesse Fidler, formerly president of the 

 Canton Milk Producers has been elected a 

 member of the state legislature from that 

 district. 



Harold Bremer was recently employed by 



the Peoria Producers Dairy to do promo- 

 tional and sales work, states Ryland Capron, 

 president. Mr. Bremer is a very capable 

 man, fully qualified by training, to satisfac- 

 torily handle this work. The Producers 

 Dairy now operate twenty milk routes and 

 sell a large volume of manufactured prod- 

 ucts. 



In 1938, livestock valued at $268,000 was 



handled by the Dongola Shipping Assn. in 

 Union County as compared to $185,000 in 

 earlier years it was reported at the 19th 

 annual meeting Dec. 19. All livestock goes 

 by truck to the Producers at East St. Louis. 

 Directors of the As.sociation are: Ira Lefler, 

 Ellis Penrod, Joe Johnson, Everett Brown, 

 Oscar Sowers, Arnie J. Keller, C. A. Kessler, 

 Harve Plott, E. B. Hinckle. 



The National Wool Marketing Corpora- 

 tion sold 88,563 pounds of 1938 wool and 

 76,246 pounds of 1937 wool marketed co- 

 operatively through the Illinois Livestock 

 Marketing Association, 



A remarkable record in cooperative wool 

 marketing over a five year period in Livings- 

 ton county is disclosed in the following 

 table: 



Thomas E. Derwent and R. M. Greenlee 



won first and second prizes, respectively, in 

 a livestock marketing quiz contest at the 

 Winnebago County Stockman's annual ban- 

 quet, December 8. George Tullock, chair- 

 man of the livestock marketing committee 

 presided. Professor R. C. Ashby of the 

 University of Illinois, Manager Dave Swan- 

 son of the Chicago Producers and Louis D. 

 Hall of the Illinois Livestock Marketing 

 Association were speakers. Pertinent points 

 for discussion were brought out of a hat full 

 of questions. 



Reasons for gains: (1) A capable Farm 

 Bureau marketing committee. (2) A practi- 

 cal plan in the form of a sheep-shearing 

 service to members. (3) Glenn Martin, 

 efficient wool pool manager. , 



The Peoria Producers Dairy recently com- 

 pleted the best year in its history, L. W. 

 Kosanke, manager, reported to the stock- 

 holders of the dairy at their annual meeting 

 December 15. 



A 150 H.P. boiler, a Mojonnier 4 foot 

 condensing pan and a new straight-away can 

 washer have been added to the plant. Their 

 storage cooler was doubled in size and a 

 new modern office room added.
