M. Harmon, M arket Administrator. At the uniform price of $2.14 per hun dredweight this pooled milk has a value of $146,774.53. This com pares with 6,761,996 pounds valued at $146,059.11 for December. Un der the terms of the Federal-State Orders, handlers are required to pay Cattaraugus county producers for January milk bn or before February 25. Of course the price which pro ducers will receive for their January milk will vary since only pooled milk is covered by the marketing orders. For milk sold elsewhere the price is subject to agreement between hand lers and producers. Then too, the price paid by cooperative associa tions of dairymen is covered by the contract between the associations and their members. There are 9 plants in Cattaraugus county approved for the metropolitan area, and the uniform price of $2.1-4 is subject to minus freight differen tials of eight -^cents per hundred weight in Ellieottville, Elton, Frank- linville, and Little Valley. Portville carries a freight deduction of 7 cents and in Leon, Randolph, Steamburg and West Valley, the freight deduc tion is 9 cents. The uniform price will also be affected by plus or minus differentials for milk testing above or below 3.5 butterfat content. In Jan u a ry '392,350,405 pounds of milk were included in the m arket wide pool. This compares with a final figure of 359,901,836 pounds a year ago at a uniform price of $1.88. In January 1939 final utilization figures showed that Class 1 milk ab sorbed 58% and Class II-A 19% of the pooled milk. In January 1940 the respective percentages are 52.8% and 19.03%.

Last fall the project which she taught dealt with the basic dress. She showed how by changing acces sories on this dress it could be made suitable to wear on any occasion and could look like a different dress with each change. The leaders r e ceived the instructions from Mrs. Strahan and then taught the pro ject in their respective communities. A t her lesson March 1, Mrs. Stra han will show how these same dres.s- es may be made an attractive part of a woman’s spring wiardrobe by removing the fall and winter access ories and replacing them with those typical of spring.

C., Feb. 21, — (WNS)— L ittle Valley residents pay the Little Valley Electric Light De partm ent less for each 25 kilowatt hours of electricity consumed than the average United States house holder, the Federal Power Commis sion said today.

D., Bishop of Buffalo, told key men. on the Western New York Di vision for the 1940 Appeal, meet ing* Saturday afternoon, February 17, 1940, at the Buffalo Athletic Club. Bishop Duffy was introduced by Honorable Charles S. Desmond, Western New York Division Chair man who presided. “Charity to a Catholic is not onL' a patriotic duty, it is part of our re ligious duty,” Justice Desmond told his hearers. “We insist that the children of our Faith, who have n-j home, shall be cared for, and there is nothing that honors us so much as w hat we have been able to do through the years, and what we are going to do again to raise the money we need, be cause in raising it, we are carrying a burden that we can never lay 35 Tons of State Income ^ Tax Forms Put in Mail The New York State Income Tax Bureau placed 35 tons of state per sonal income and unincorporated business tax forms in the mail Wed nesday.

None of the injuries were^serlous. Dairymen’s League Head Lauds Growth Of Co-operatives stating that milk more than any other farm product represents the labor of human beings, Fred H. Sex- auer, president of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association, de clared at Ithaca February 16 that stronger farm ers’ cooperatives are necessary if milk marketing orders are to work successfully.” Speaking on a Farm and Home Week program, Mr. Sexauer said the marketing orders have fostered in creasing interest in handling milk through cooperative action by pro ducers. Under the orders, he said, cooperatives that were mere paper skeletons have assumed new respon sibilities, weak organizations have grown stronger, well managed strong cooperatives have gained in bargain ing power and new associations have been created. “One reason for growth of co operatives under marketing orders,” said Mr. Sexauer, “has been re moval of one of the dealers’ strong est weapons. That weapon was the power to determine which farmer, or which group of farmers should have the fluid market. Despite progress under the m a r keting orders, said Mr. Sexauer, it is unfortunate that producers’ coopera tives cannot yet give their undivided attention to their own affairs. The same forces that have always fought constructive efforts in behalf of farmers, he said, are seeking de struction of the orders. Essential to maintaining the orders and continuing farm ers’ economic progress, said Mr. Sexauer, are these “Keep producers informed. “Combat the criticism and con demnation which is the dealers' and Communists’ method of tearing down producer support. “Maintaining support of govern mental agencies which are construc- LV Future Farmers Do Well at Ithaca After a trip to Ithaca, where they participated in the annual Farm and Home, week, the Little Valley F.F^A, members returned to the county seat last week.

Harlan Brant was 17th of 225 in judging stock, and he was also among those to judge plant di seases. Richard Frank judged milk and entered in the woodwork oi' shop competition. Miss Frentz was given the opportu nity of nominating Harlan Bryant for the post of state reporter for the P.F.A., and since there were no other nominations it appears that the coun ty seat youth will not be opposed. Miss Frenz was the, only girl who placed in. judging events, and wa,s one of the two girls whom instructor Harry J. Shoup observed taking part in agricultural work at Farm and Home Week. On February 27 a number of Lit tle Valley young farmers are to be the guests of the Producers Co operative Commission Ass’n., of Buf falo.
