National Grange
Raps 'Shabby Job'
By Dairy Industry
Washington (U.PJ The Na
tional Grange yesterday blamed
a "shabby job" of selling by the
dairy industry as one of the
major causes for the industry's
current woes.
In an extensive report on
eight barriers to fluid milk
sales, the -Grange also cited con
sumers' growing fear that milk
Is fattening.
The report said that "what
rankles dairymen" most about
.the charge that milk is fattening
gis that "many people who have
ecut down on milk consumption
. . . continue to indulge in rich
gravies, desserts, and other truly
fattening foods,"
Diets Rapped
It said "erratically self-imposed"
diets based on magazine,
newspaper or neighborhood
0weight reducing projects are
probably those that shift most
readily from whole milk to skim
milk or to no milk at all as
opposed to die.ts undertaken
under doctors' direction.
e Besides the weight conscious
consumers, the Grange listed
these barriers to fluid milk con
sumption: 0 Weak merchandising; the in
- dustry's complacency and resist
ance to charges like paper car
tons and gallon jugs; lack of co
ordination in the industry; labor
practices which restrict price
competition and marketing inno
vations local sanitary regula
tions which are often "exces
, sively detailed;" wholesale and
retail milk price control; and
"cumbersome" federal rules
under milk market orders and
other federal problems.
