Supply Co. Moves 



Largest lAA-AHiliate is Now 

 Housed at 100 East Ohio Street \ 

 Near lAA State Offices 



ILLINOIS Farm Supply Company has 

 moved its offices from two blocks 

 south of Chicago's Loop to four blocks 

 north of the Loop on the north side of 

 the Chicago river. 



The move takes the largest lAA-af- 

 fi Hated company from 608 South Dear- 

 liorn street to 100 East Ohio street. Il- 

 linois Farm Supply offices are now just 

 one block from the Illinois Agricultural 

 Association offices at 43 East Ohio 

 street. 



When the lAA moved to 43 East Ohio 

 two years ago it was intended that Il- 

 linois Farm Supply would follow short- 

 ly. Since then, however, growth of 

 other lAA-affiliated cooperatives as well 

 as Illinois Farm Supply expansion has 

 made it impossible to house Farm Sup- 

 ply in the lAA building. Farm Supply 

 now has more than 150 employees. 



Farmers visiting in Chicago are cor- 

 dially invited to visit the new offices of 

 Illinois Farm Supply Company as well 

 as the lAA building nearby.

See Higher Milk Prices 

 Through Rest of 7949 



ILLINOIS farmers can expect to re- 

 ceive higher prices for milk during 

 the balance of l949 than during recent 

 months, according to J. P. Mason, di- 

 rector of dairy marketing for the Il- 

 linois Agricultural Association. 



Higher support prices announced by 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture for 

 butter and non-fat dry milk solids and 

 the new support price announced for 

 cheese will strengthen prices paid for 

 milk used for manufacturing purposes. 



About half of the Illinois milk produc- 

 tion is intended for such outlets. Mason 

 says. 



Producers supplying fluid milk mar- 

 kets will also receive increased prices 

 and are planning their fall and winter 

 production to take care of the needs of 

 the market during the short supply sea- 

 son. The higher manufactured milk 

 prices are reflected to fluid milk pro- 

 ducers through pricing formulas which 

 use dairy product prices as a base. 



Producers supplying the St. Louis 

 area received an additional price in- 

 crease with their August milk checks as 

 a result of a recent amendment made to 

 the federal milk marketing order in 

 effect there. 



The Rockford and Freeport milk mar- 

 kets were made subject to a federal 

 milk marketing order Aug. 1. The 

 order provides classes of milk and 

 establishes minimum prices to be paid 

 producers. The order was made effec- 

 tive at the request of producers as the 

 only means of obtaining proper prices 

 for milk and guaranteeing the market 

 a sufficient supply.
