VOL. 60 McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934 HO. 16 RAISE IN FARM MILK PRICE REFUSED ,,v; -I FARMERS ASKED FOR AN INCREASE OF 50 OENT^ -""•^h® Agricultural Adjustment Administration iit Washington, Friday, announced it had rejected, for the time being, the petitions of milk prodncerfc in the Chicago area .for' fuither price increases. Dairy farmers in this area through the .Pure Milk Assn., recently asked the AAA for authorization of a price boost from $2.25 per 100 pounds^ to $2.75, the request made by a special committee appointed by the associatianf following emphatic .demands from the various locals and members, including those of McHenry county. The demand upon the AAA also iheluded a request for condensed milk prices for all milk not used as fluid milk.. Cited High Feed Coats 'Increased prices to farmers was 'deemed necessary because of rapidly increasing prices of livestock feed, caused by shortages due to the prolonged dry weather. ' • " No action' on the decision of the AAA in rejecting the price increase - request has been taken by the Pure Milk. Assn. But since farmers have been insistent in their requests for increased prices, some even asking $3 milk, there will be general dissatisfaction with the AAA action, it was stated, with the possibility of - renewal of the recent demand for severing connections with that administration.- - The AAA said it was deferring consideration on the increase in price to b« paid for class 1 mijk because of the relationship now prevailing between the prices paid for fluid milk in the Chicago sales area and the prices! paid in adjacent areas for milk to be used for other purposes, and because of the intensive competitive- distribution of milk In that market ... . The proposal for increasing the price of class 1 milk 50 cents per hundred pounds', was made by Don N. Geyer, manager of the Pure Milk Assn., an organization of producers. Will Observe Trends 'The' administration said that it Would continue its close observation ©n the trends in the prices and introduction of milk in the Chicago milk shed. The whole market situation has recently been reviewed by representatives of the dairy section of the Administration for the purpose of considering proposed changes. in the method of paying producers as well as^changes in price. The refusal of the AAA to grant an Increase in price of milk coming at this time may result in another milk war. Farmers are dissatisfied and with meetings being held weekly which have been marked with disorder it is not going to be surprising .to see more trouble along the milk front unless the dairymen are given a IJetter price.
