Salem distributors explained that there is still a l'i cent a quart bonus to those who take from 26 to 59 quarts a month.

Some to Producer Of the cent increase, approx imately two-thirds will go to the producers, who had asked for the boost sometime ago. In re questing the increase, the pro ducers cited increased costs due to the severe winter.
