Production of
Milk Growing
In Valley Area
By Lillie L. Madsen
Farm Editor. The Statesman
A healthy growth in milk pro
duction in mid-Willamette valley
was indicated in reports at the
annual business meeting of the
Salem unit of the Dairy Coopera
tive association Tuesday night at
the association building. While
dairymen were optimistic, the
feeling that some preparation
should be made for lower prices,
in keeping with reduction In oth
er farm product prices, was ex
pressed. Salem uses more milk in Aug
ust than any other month in the
year, and less In November and
December, reports showed. The
transient harvest help was given
as the reason for the heavier
season.
Reports further showed that in
January of this year the Co-op
distributed 12.050 quarts of milk
daily in the corporate limits of
Salem and West Salem, while in
October, 1944, when the local
unit opened its milk bottling di
vision, only 4000 ouarts were dis-
tributed daily in this aera. There Morse, Frank Van Dyke and Har
are now 750 producers in the vey Wells.

Officers elected in 1946 will
hold over until 1948, with Floyd

Speakers were Will Henry,

Tax Bill Entered
Proposals for the long-heralded
1 per cent withholding tax, and
abolition of justices of the peace

The 16 new introductions in

Among the latter were meas
ures setting up an Oregon-Washington-California

surplus property.
In the senate, new introduc
tions included a joint resolution
to authorize the establishment of
an alcoholic rehabilitation clinic
under the educational advisory
committee of the liquor commis
sion, and four bills including those
to give the state game commission
the duties of the fish commission
and abolish the latter.
The house Tuesday adopted a
senate joint resolution providing
