Farmers Milk Prices ttoosted by Program Boosts in the ceiling prices to farmers for milk and milk products are now in effect in many areas, and will be placed in effect in others as set by OPA as a result of a dairy price and al- location program announced May 29 by the office of Economic Stabilization. Ceilings for milk for fluid use will increase the following amounts, depending upon the method of pay ment in the area concerned: 40 cents per hundredweight in areas where ceilings are set on a hundredweight basis. 4 cents per gallon, where ceilings are set on this basis. 10 2 cents per pound butterfat, where ceilings arc figured on a butterfat basis. Besides the incracscs listed above, OES announced a ceiling price to farmers on milk produced for manufacturing purposes the first time such a ceiling has been set. Fur earh producer, llie ceiling will be 40 cents per hundredweight over the price he got in November, 1945. This ceiling cannot be below 53 or above $3.20 for 3.5 milk in Zone 1 of the evaporated milk pricing schedule, in-- , eluding North Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas and New Mexico. Appropriate differentials will be established for the rest of the Western States. An increase of 10 cents per pound for butter, which manufacturers are now allowed by OKS, will give the farmer about 12 rents per pound more for butterfat in cream. farm-renarat- 1 er The 967 lttVe iwn vehicles to be sold allotted to the vari-u- a states in accordance with e proportion of veterans in me dates, 244 for Utah, 388 for r?torado. 144 for Wyoming and New Mexico- - arrangements for pur- - should be made in ad- e of the sale at the veteran certification offices in the At-- 5 Building in Salt Lake City. certification offices m.

The good news comes in the form of a new war-2,4-called born chemical (Dichlorophcnoxyactetic acid), now available to operators of vacation playgrounds and owners of summer homes and camps. When sprayed on poison ivy plants, this new running mate of the other new chemical wonder, DDT, will render the obnoxious weed totally harmless.
