 June Dairy Month will be observed na- 

 tionally and in Illinois again this year, for 

 the tenth consecutive year. The observance 

 of June Dairy Month this year has been 

 planned by the National Dairy Council, 

 aided by dairy cooperatives, the American 

 Dairy Association, and the National Milk 

 Producers' Federation cooperating. E. W. 

 Tiedeman of Appleton, Wisconsin, is na- 

 tional chairman of the June Dairy Month 

 observance committee and W. J. Sawyer, 

 president of Pure Milk Association, Chicago, 

 is Illinois producer chairman. The theme 

 of the dairy month observance this year is 

 'First in Foods". 



Chester Bowles, director of economic sta- 

 bilization, announced on April 15 a revised 

 program of dairy subsidies to be paid by 

 the Government to dairymen who sell milk 

 or farm separated cream. 



The principal points in the new program 

 as announced by Mr. Bowles are as follows: 

 (1) A May and June dairy subsidy upon 

 milk sold by producers of 45 cents per 

 cwt. (The subsidy in April was 60c per 

 cwt. and was originally scheduled to be 

 lowered to 25c per cwt. for May and June.) 



(2) A May and June dairy subsidy to 

 producers of 15c per lb. butterfat in cream 

 sold. (The subsidy in April upon butterfat 

 sold in cream was 17c per lb. and was 

 scheduled to be lowered to 10c per lb. for 

 May and June.)
