Reporting og the developments which have set the stage for expansion of bulk handling routes, the June issue of Capper's Farmer said the premium idea has been brought back into the' milk price picture. "Ralph Nichols, McHenry county, says he is getting around 37% cents more a hundred under the new system," reported the farm magazine. "The plant pays 25 cents more in premium for quality and reduced handling rates. His butterfat test has averaged a point higher with the tank. This gives him 7 cents and he figures, by direct measurement tests, that his is getting another 5 cents from reduced milk losses." Nichols said, "It won't take me long to pay for that 300-gallon tank. I've averaged $60 a month in premiums." ' Low Cost Fuel At Your Door Why use «ut-moded fuels with all the extra work they cause?
