22 to discuss dairy department problems. A
mong the topics of discussion vas' the haul
ing of milk from the farm to (bur plant. It
was brought out by Mr. 3^.11 that plant oper
atlon would be considerably Improved if mil

would allow the tanker an earlier run to
anchorage and permit plant clean-up before
noon to make room for other work In the
afternoon. Early receiving can only be ac
complished by using two trucks. This to
gether with the hope of reducing hauling
costs prompted a recommendation that all
