RECOMBINED MILK COES
ON MARKEl
Tho Co-op Dairymen
hold a mooting last Fri-;
day. evening during whichj
tho milk shortage was
discussed.
It was learned that
production had fallen
off by more than forty
per cent since <.ugust.
The members present ad
mitted that this was a !
general condition and
.that it ipight last for I
some time.
Mr. Boll, manager of |
the Dairy Department,
t-old of the difficulties,
he was having in supply-j
ing merchants in anchor
age, and it was suggest
ed that recombined milk
be sold on the Anchorage
market until sufficient
Grade A is available.
It was explained, that
unless milk could be
supplied from the Valley
.it would be supplied
from some source over
which we would have no
control, and, when the
.surplus season came next
summer, it would contin
ue to come through*
The way in which a
shortage of milk affects
the sales organization,
was explained as follows.
When we are no longer
able, to supply milk, the
merchants get "peeved"
and it hurts our sales
when Grade A is plenti
ful*
. A vote was taken, and
an overwhelming majority
of the dairymen present,
agreed to allow tho sale
of rocombined milk at
the same price as the
Grade A until such time
as sufficient Grade A
is available. Recom
bined milk was deliver
