Production, Costs 1
Both Up for Milk
Producers in Area
, Members of the Jackson Coun
ty Milk Producers league, hold
ing their semi-annual meeting at
Roxy Ann Grange hall last week,
heard encouraging news on milk
sales in the county over the past
several months, but bad news
on production costs.
Beginning last November,
fluid milk sales showed a steady
increase each month over the
previous year, according to John
Kesler, Phoenix, the organiza
tion's advertising chairman.
High month for the period was
April, when sales totaled 108,584
pounds (approximately 50,000
quarts of fluid milk) above April,
- 1054. Kesler credited the adver
tising campaign begun in the
county last October for the in
crease in sales.
Profits Down
. Richard Westerberg, manager
of the league, said that although
sales were up, profits to dairy
men were down, due to sharp
rises in feed costs, labor, taxes,
and other expenses. In 1953,
Jackson county dairymen's cost
per cow year averaged $496.15,
while this year costs per cow are
averaging $552, Westerberg said.
Westerberg said the average
dairy cow in Jackson county pro
duced 7,786 pounds of milk a
year. Sales of milk in the county
for the first six months this year
totaled 8,777,927 pounds or ap
proximately 4,388,000 quarts. Of
this,' 6,508,840 pounds were sold
for use in fluid form; the rest
went into butter, cheese, ice
- cream and other dairy products,
C. C. Williams, Ashland, Milk
Producers' league president, pre
sided.

affected city employees as well
as general operating expenses,
were necessary when Medford
residents defeated a proposed
budget of $626,202, which was
$66,510 over the 6 per cent lim
itation. . . (
The budget as filed calls for
a levy of $223,764, including a
