Dairy Farmers’ Solidarity Begins
To Spell Victory in Price Battle
There were strong indica- j
tions this week that the j
'Sited front of area dairy
farmers would spell ultimate
victory in their milk supply
war with Chestnut Farms
(Sealtest) Dairy.
W. B. Hooper, general man
ager of the 1800-member farm
ers’ co-op, said his side is hope
ful that a new Federal Market
ing Order effective July 1 “will
mean an end" to the three-month
price “war.”
-Sealtest spokesmen refused to
concede defeat, but admitted
their price pi'essure has caused
only one local supplier to defect
from the ranks of the co-op (the
\taryland-Virginia Milk Pro
ducers Association).
The Mg dairy said it hopes to
find new sources of supply cheap
enough to undersell the Associ
ation, even after the Marketing
Order takes effect.
Under terms of the order,
dairies will have to pay a pre
scribed minimum price for bulk
milk, regardless of its source,
averaging out at $5.40 per hun
dredweight (46 quarts).
Focal point of the dispute is
Hie Association's insistence on
charging an additional premium
of 40 cents for quality fluid
mtlk.
Cost of transporting milk from
Sealtest’* present sources In
Pennsylvania and New Jersey
probably would exceed 40 cents,
thus making It more expensive
for the dairy to continue import
ing from there.
“We're hoping the new order
Tankersly

As Quarry
Almost ail of a 200-acre tract
of land near Boyds was recom
mended for light industrial
usage by the Montgomery
County Planning Board last
week after its owners testified
they wanted to run a quarry
there.
The County Council will have
to approve the recommenda
tion, but there is little doubt
that they will inasumch as
It's good for nothing except
quarrying, according to experts.
The land is now zoned rural
residential and is located along
White Grounds rd. and Buck
lodge rd. H is owned by Mr.
and Mrs. Garvin Tankersly. of
A1 Marah Ranch on River rd.
William R. Wheeler, the law
yer who represented the
Tankrrslys at a hearing before
the Planning Board, testified
that the tract contains the only
significantly large deposit of a
very hard rock In the entire
metropolitan Washington area.
Some years ago. he said, a
farmer sought to till the land
but found it impossible. Homes
on the rocky sward would be
unthinkable, he added. He was
supported In this last opinion by
Commissioner W. Lawson King,
who said he was familiar with
the trad.
The Tankerslyi have leased
the land to the M. J. Grove

will mean an end to the dis
pute,” said Hooper. “The only
difference then will lie the 40-
cent premium, and we believe
the cost of picking up the milk
out-of-state and hauling it down
here would he greater than 40
cents.”
However, dairy spokesmen
hinted this week that the firm
hopes to develop sources closer
to home and thereby cut its
transportation costs to lower
than 40 cents a hundred.
“We have reasons to believe
we can bring in milk at less than
the Federal Order prices,” said
one official. He declined to ex- 1
pand on the statement, except l
to say that “we might get it
closer-in from Maryland or Vir
ginia.”
Tills s|Mikesman conceded,
however, that Sealtest’* task
will be made more difficult by
the fact that milk supply ordi
narily becomes “tighter” during
the summer months.
At the present time. Sealtest i
is importing about 20,000 gal
lons a day from out-of-state
sources. Because producers have!
refused to defect from the As- 1
sociation, the dairy still must!
purchase the vast bulk of its'
supply from the co-op.
The cost of the imported milk 1
has been estimated currently to
run about $5.40 to $5.50 a hun-1
dred delivered to their District!
plant. Pievailing Association
price is $5.95.
Before the supply battle start- j
ed, the dairy bought about 90!
per cent of Ms milk from the!
Association. Its purchases in j
turn accounted for more than
half of total Association sales.
In another milk development
this week. State authorities re
vealed that Penn Dairy, York,
Pa., had been cleared for further
milk shipments to this area.
State health officials had barred
them from further shipments
on April 28 after testing showed
that bacteria content in the
firm's milk was running over

the legal maximum.
Meanwhile, the fate of a pro
posed Montgomery County milk
ordinance, which would raise
quality standards and provide
a county Inspection system, re
mained in doubt this week.
If Sealtest is forced to dis-1
continue its out-of-state impor-!
tations, the need for a county
ordinance would appear to be
almost entirely removed.
Principal argument in favor of
the ordinance has been the pur
ported laxity of enforcement of
the Maryland milk code and the
possibility that some of the out
of-state milk consequently might
not meet minimum quality
standards.
Milk and farms of co-op mem
bers, on the other hand, are sub
ject to the rigid inspection pro
cedures of the District of Co
lumbia. Virtually all of Mont
gomery County’s more than 250
dairy farmers are co-op mem
bers.

The clinics were sponsored by
tne Health Department, the Na
tional Foundation, and the Mont
gomery County Medical Society.
“Our citizens are to be con
gratulated on being alert,” de
clared Dr. William J. Peeples,
director of the County Health'
Department.
He warned, however, that out- j
breaks are apt to occur in “soft
spots,” and there are still a few
of these left in the county.
He said he hoped that these
soft spots can be wiped out
either by innoculations by pri
vate physicians or at two more,
free polio clinics to be staged
