Roll stated that the dairy lost

ummer tw»me the peak amount
sold was only 13.000 pounds as
compared with the I7.00o pounds

where powdered milk would have
sufficed, the dairy lost S > t#f»
The bluest dairy headache, ac
ording to Ik IL is the huge sur
plus during the thre-nionlh per
iod between May 15 to August
15.
"If we didti t have to absorb the
loss from that period." he said.
we might even be ablt to raise
the milk price to $11.50."
It looks like a bull market on
fall fresheners and bem market
on spring fresheners, avoiding to
the dairymen’s discussion of the
effects of the new rates. Those
who have heifers freshening in
the fall w ill get $11 for their pro
duction from October through
February and that production
will build up their base for next
year. Those with heifers freshen
mg this spring run the risk of get
ting only S6.50 for their added
production this summer. Accord
ing to a recent survey made by
the board, an increase of one and
a half cows per herd could be ex
pected this year from freshening
heifers, and the greater majority
would freshen this spring. A high
of 20,000' pounds production is
expected at the Co-Op dairy this
summer. Already production is
jumping up at the rate of 150
pounds per day. according to Bell.
The whole purpose of the
change in rates i to equalize pro
duction, Kibbe said. “If produc
tion is equalized, the market can
be expanded,” he explained.”
We can’t expand on fluctuating
production.”
Many of the dairymen have
already made adjustments in
their breeding dates to effect a
more equalized production the
year around. These farmers stand
to gain by the new system. Those
who have a huge spread between
summer and winter production
stand to lose under the new sys- j
tern, but they will have an econ
omic reason for stabilizing their
production in the future. The mil
lenium ideal, of course, would be
$11 per hundredweight the year
around. With such stabilized pro
ductidjji the Alaskan market could
be expanded considerably.
To get an idea of how the new
system would have affected in
dividual farmers on the basis of
last year’s experience, individual
records were figured, using the
last base period for the base. Mr.
A found that he would have re
ceived $477.28 more under the
new system than he did last year.
His peak was 10,588 pounds as
compared with a minimum mon
thly production of 7.744 pounds.
Mr. B. on the other hand would
have received $303 less. His peak
was 7,000 pounds and his mini
mum 1.600 pounds. The difference
in the fluctuation between these
two producers is readily apparent
and explain easily why one
would gain under the new system
and the other lose. Roughly half
of the dairy men found they
would gain and half would lose.
The non-member is the real los
er; he gets only the factory price.

dairy surplus was pointed out by
one of the dairymen—in case
more than an extra 25 percent of
the base is .sold at Grade A price*
when only that amount was paid
for at the $9.50 figure. In that
case, Kibbe explained, the dairy
nen will get the surplus back at

rated basis or through month to
