Wallace, secretary of ag~ yioaBlsire, announced in Washington Saturday the termination of the Chicago milk license agreement under which dairy men and distributors hftve been operating since Feb. 5, 1934. The action followed the request of the Pure Milk association on Feb. 28 asking the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to suspend the milk license in the Chidago area. The Pure Milk association is the bargaining agency for 18,000 dairy farmers ii| the area- In granting the assocaition's rethe secretary of argiculture went a step further than the request- «d suspension ;and signed an order abolishing the milk license. After settlement is made for milk delivered last month to Chicago distributors under the AAA plan it is understood - the federal government will withdraw .(' its forces from the local market. * •- ffbgular Settlement For February ' Frank C. Baker, who recently sub- *• VJtfltted his resignation as federal milk ) market, administrator here, said Saturday night that he had not been officially advised of Secretary Wallace's action. He announced that the local administrator's office would require distributors to continue to make reports of milk delivered to them in February and that settlement with farmers would be made through the . milk pool in the usual way. Officials of producer and distributor organizations said Saturday night that arrangements had been practically completed for dairy farmers and ° Chicago dealers to again take over the task of handling their own milk marketing problems. 3 * Contract Forms Ready Don G. Geyer, manager of the Pure 16/k association, said that his ofi leials had accepted a form of contract to be signed by his organization . and individual distributors in marketing milk in the future. Paul Potter, secretary of the Associated Milk Dealers, Inc., an organization of ninety dealers in the city and surrounding suburbs, said the distributors' attorneys had improved the con- \ tract which would be submitted to Members early this week. Under the new contract, dairy lirmers will be paid for milk according to its various uses. Instead of reporting to the AAA milk market administrator's local office, as has been done during* the last year, the dealers will record their sales with the Pure Milk association. An auditor, accepted by both groups, has been selected to insure fairness under the pro-, --.Acer-dealer plan. t Include Arbitration Clause One of the features of the contract is that difference of opinion over prices will be arbitrated, guaranteeing that there will be no suspension of milk deliveries to Chicago consu- :: men* It was a disagreement over prices, resulting in a milk strike and suspension of deliveries, that prompted tJve federal government to move its expert market troops into Chicago to aaaurate command of the Chicago milk market under, federal license a year •fro. In reviewing the year under rule of the Agricultural Adjustment administration producers' representatives -gave credit to the license plan for holding up farm prices last April and May when the price controversy was oil between distributors. Expect Larger'Checks Credit was also given AAA for advancing farms milk prices in June and July last year when the drouth cut" feed supplies and increased the cost oi production. Despite the increases made in the ."base prices gf milk, producers complained of the low average price they 4 received each month through the government control plan. Under the newly devised scheme of classifying milk dairy farmers expect to receive a big- * ger milk check than was paid them while the government administered ' their marketing affairs. Bet**' Price to Stay as Is During the period of government , V Control the retail price of milk sold to "consumers in homes, restaurants, and hotels was increased three cents a quart. Kith the farmer-producer plan operating in the sale of milk no advance in the retail price is anticipated in March. The base farm price of $2.20^ m hundred (4.7 cents a quart) for class 1 milk containing 3.5 butterfat be paid ia March as it was in roary. -V" :;iV* ;• LIST OF MARCH I FARMS HANl>S The first of March brought the usual changes hi residence in this vicinity with a comparatively few number of farms changing* owners" or tenants this year.

Of the total cost of relief in this county the last month of 1934, the sum of $16,477.06 was expended for direct relief and the cost of administration was $1,876.27. The amount expended for direct celief showed an increase Of 18.8 per cent over November. The average eosj for each family on relief in D^cendSer w^s $25.35. In NoveiiuAr 547 families were carried ynLncyJlief which shows that December had 103 more families to care for. In other words the county took care of 650 families in December at less cost than it did for 547 families in November. In November it cost $19,898.12 to care for 547 families, in December only $18,369.83 to care for 650 families. The average cost per family in November waa $31.57 and in December $25.35. It is pointed out that although most counties increased their purchaises of fuel and clothing during December, some showed smaller gains in commitments than in relief cases; typically, it is stated this was because December included commitments for only four weekly payroll J, as compared with five in November. 1,141,518 On Rolls In Illinois The total number of persons receiving relief in Illinois in the state during December was 1,141,518. Obligations incurred for relief and administrations during December amounted to $11,626,775.61, an increase of 7 per cent over November. Of this amount the federal government supplied $10,979,290.41 or 94.4 per cent; the state, $516,205.56 and local political subdivisions, principally the townships, supplied $131,279.64.
