M ilk Blend Price Up 10 Cents Coquille Valley Milk producers In Oregon’s Market Area No. 1 received 10 cents more per hundredweight In their overall blend price for Grade A milk In August than In July. The price toproducersfor 3.5 percent milk through the pool in August was $5.23 per hund redweight, which was onabasis of 79.6 percent of their milk being produced as quota milk. The return for this was $5.61 Students Back per hundredweight. For their remalnlng20.4 per Senator Morse cent of production, which was surplus, the value was $3.765 To the Editors: per hundredweight. Hie prevailing m in im u m As Congressional Interns this past summer, s p o n s o r e d and class for August, based on 3.5 financially supported by our percent test were: Class 1- respective schools, we were $6.10; Class 2 ( Ice cream selected to serve In the Office and cottage cheese) -$4.17; and Class 3 (butter, powder, hard of Senator Wayne Morse.

Since our work for Senator Morse dealt primarily w ith constituent problems we b e came aware of the Senator’s ability to get things done for Oregon . The Senator’s sen iority, his carefully-research ed briefs, and his closely-rea soned arguments a c c o u n t for many of the public works pro jects that O re g o n has been granted In recent years. From our persona] observations we have come to realize that Ore gon receives more funds per capita for public works than any other state In the nation, large ly due to the efforts of Wayne Morse. We have penned this letter because the accomplishments of Senator Morse areoften Ignored by the news media. During this past summer we have noticed many Instances in which Sen ator Morse gained Important projects and programs tor the state, or introduced Im p o rtan t and requisite legislation, or guided such legislation through the Senate — and such achieve ments were not mentioned In the Oregon press. It would be most unfortunate for Oregon If Senator Morse failed to win reelectlon because Oregonians were not cognizant of his ef fectiveness In the Senate.
