Claims Loss
Portland. () The Oreron I
Dairy Cooperative Auociation
lost money in its milk distrlbu-
tlon operations last year, Will
Henry, manager, told the asso
ciation's annual meeting here

the low markup allowed distri
butors under state milk price
regulations. He added that the
co-op's profits from it manu
facturing division permitted the
co-op to break even.
Treasurer Marvin Davidson
reported that the association's
Mayflower distribution system
had a record high sale volume
of $8,098,000 and that milk vol
ume totaled 23,902,000 quarts,
up 8.8 per cent over the previous
year.
But receipts for grade A milk
were down US per cent and for
manufacturing milk, down 13
per cent, he said.

the previous year but production
