Faced with the necessity of
increasing their market milk
production by approximately
120 per cent to provide an ade
quate supply for the army can
tonment and Increase in civilian
population expected in this area,
dairymen of the Rogue River
valley met in the courthouse
last night to make plans lor a
concerted effort to boost the
territory's current production
to the point believed necessary.
Frank H. Rowe, representa
tive of the Oregon Milk Control
Board, told the gathering that
between 1,600 and 1,800 more
cows must be diverted to pro
ducing market milk if the esti
mated 185,000 gallons-per-month
goal is reached. Right now, he
said, between 1,200 and 1,400
of the approximate 16.500 cows
in Jackson and Josephine coun
ties are producing market milk.
Need 98,000 Gals. Mora
"In December this district
produced 87,000 gallons of mar
ket milk," Rowe stated, "and
in order to provide the neces
sary increase of 98,000 gallons
I figure 60 new producers will
be needed."
The present producers of mar
ket milk can increase their
production only about 15 per
cent, Rowe said he learned in
a survey. This figure was con
firmed by H. H. Dietrich, spokes
man for local producers.
A few dairymen not now
producing market milk attended
the meeting and pledged to
divert their cows to its produc
tion, and Rowe issued a call
to all others in Jackson and
Josephine counties, who desire
to cooperate, to get in touch
with him at the Farmers' and
Fruitgrowers' bank building
room 210, as soon as possible
A committee consisting of
H. H. Dietrich, T. L. Goodwin
and O. N. Wray of Ashland was
appointed by Rowe to canvass
the district for potential market
milk producers, and to advise
with them if they are interested.
Distributors and present pro
ducers will also attempt to make
individual contacts with poten
tial producers in Jackson and
Josephine counties. -Costs
Discussed
Considerable discussion was
held on the costs of installing
dairy facilities to meet the re
quirements and specifications
expected to be laid down by
the army, and Rowe said he
had learned that the FSA would
cooperate as much as possible
with dairymen desiring to do
this. He added that as yet he
didn't know what regulations
the army would set, but said
he believed they would be prac
tically the same as those now in
effect here!
Charles W. Austin, city milk
inspector, explained fully the
requirements for A-grade milk,
and added that he believed the
necessary production could and
would be reached.
G. H. Grover also was confi
dent the valley could produce
enough market milk to meet
the increased demand, and said'
"We are obligated to our coun
try to produce that milk if and
when it is definitely needed by
our boys In uniform."
