F. Chambers, president of Valley Packing Company, showed Tuesday. The figures were taken from a compil.tion made by the Ameri can Meat Institute which showed that net earnings of the meat packing industry nationally to talled 35 of a cent per dollar of sales of all kinds.

Sales de clined 3 per cent Production workers' average weekly wages increased from $68.30 to $73.39.

MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman By a show of hands and definite testimony, 24 milk producers in Marion County and the Lebanon area, told the Milk Marketing Administration Tuesday they didn't want to help bear the "cost of the inefficiency" of Portland's milk distributors. The hearing at which the testimony was taken, was held at the conference room of the State Library and conducted by William S. Weidel, milk administrator, and Sam B. Weinsfein, deputy attor ney general Weidel and Weinstein explain ed that there were 89 producers in the Salem area who have quo tas in the Portland pool, and the proposal of the administration was to incorporate the two pools Salem's and Lebanon's into a market wide pool zone, which included Portland. The purpose of this extension of the pool to include the mid Willamette areas is, said Wein stein "to see to it that there is an equity in payout" He port ed out that Curly's Dairy now has a higher payout without "car rying their share of surplus." For Producers Gordon Hofstetter and his fa ther, Hans Hofstetter, of Curly's Dairy took the witness stand for the producers. The younger Hofstetter told the administrator and his attor ney that "it looks like we have to pay out because Portland pro ducers don't feel they are get ting enough." Spread Surpluses "One basic requirement of our administration is a uniformity in payout In districts where- costs are similar all producers should get about the same money. Sur pluses should- be spread out among the producers in the area," Weinstein insisted. And to this Hoffstetter re plied: "We have had no diffi culty here with our producers. We have made more money for the farmers and the farmers are happy. We also sell our milk to the consumer cheaper. If in efficiency in other pools was done away with the producers would receive as much as we pay. It seems this should be done He Knows E3is lolling louble Eagles! 'Si Mr r - r 1 r Bob Schunke. 2095 Bruce Street of Russ Boeart general manager (La tions Incorporated. Just prior to. the taking of the picture, Mr. Schunke had been notified by Mr. Brock that he was the lucky winner of 4 white sidewall nylon Double Eagle Tires by Goodyear. Scnunae s guess oi ,ioo miies as me aisiance iraveiea oy me rouing wuuuie mkk a ire at tuc Master Serviee Station Booth at the recent Ore son State Fair, was the earliest correct guess. The tire,-as mileaged by an official speedometer, actually traveled exactly 3,186 miles during the time it was whirling in the eight days of the Fair. Many others among the nearly 18-thousand entrants in the guessing contest indicated the exact mileage, too. However, Mr. Schunke's guess, in accord ance with the rules set forth, was adjudged winner by the contest judges because his was the earliest according to the official IBM time h - v - -' " -V-.,- - -I : 5 , rather than to bring our pay out to farmers down to their level." Increased Business The Hofstetters further main tained that they were being hin dered by the milk control through refusal of quota applications for new producers or added produc tion by present producers, even though their business had in creased 33 times in the 17 years they have operated here. They testified that either the producer or the public had to pay for pools which carry an overload, and that because of inefficient operation of market pools'in Eugene, price is 2 cents higher for milk than is paid by consumers in Salem. Holding Tank Ivan W. Osterman testified that in Medford area skim milk is being poured down the cream ery sewers each Sunday the year around and each Wednesday dur ing the long season. Curly's rep resentatives brought out that their firm had spent a consider able sum to install a milk hold ing tank by which they saved surplus milk and were able to narrow the spread between the producer and consumer. "If there are distributors who want to operate under the Port land pool, why can't they? And why are we who operate satis factorily to our producers and our consumers here forced into a pool in which we do not want to be?" Hans Hofstetter asked as he concluded his testimony. Producers offering testimony to endorse the Hofstetters state ments, included Ivan Holman and Albert Eberhardt of Jefferson, James Jorgenson of Silverton and Dale Overson of Polk County.
