Dairy Products
Producers To
Be Paid Subsidy
It has been reported that many
producers of dairy products are oper-
ating at a loss. Especially is this
true in cases In which a high per-
centage of feed has to be purchased
and whore labor costs have risen
sharply. In order to offset a part of
the increased cost of dairy produc-
tion. the ^government has recently
announced a dairy feed payment pro-
gram for the last quarter of 1943
Applications of Llano county milk
producers for payment of October
production and sales under this pro-
gram must b*> made at the AAA of-
fice during the month of November,

cer, has announced. No applications
for payment of October sales will he
accepted after November 30. Burle-
son emphasized.

Burleson pointed out that satisfac-
tory evidence of sales must b pre-
sented to the committee before pay-

ments or sales receipts Issued by co-
op relives, dairies, creameries and
others showing the amount of whole
milk or butterfat purchased, the date
of purchase and tli < names of the
seller and buyer will be considered

producer is unable to furnish wr.u n

Payment will he computed at the
rate of 50 cents per hundredweight

butterfat and 4.8 cents per pound of
butter. However, no payment less
than $1.00 will be made.
