Big City
Our Farm and Home issue of
June 14 was well distributed to the
rural routes. The postal service
seems to be improving greatly
and Mrs. O'Neill is very helpful
to the Observer. Thanks, fellas!
Talk goes on apace about a new
city hall and fire department. We
hope to get a new postoffice in
the group.
Hospital pledges are coming
due. Work on the Saline Hos
pita! could conceivably start
this year with the community's
support. When our doctors
have a difficult time getting
emerqency cases into hospitals
9 miles distant, then it is time
Saline had its own facilities.
Let's bring our pledges up to
date  and  more, if possible.
The mother of Lewis Burrows,
an emplove of the Observer, died
Pundav. We extend our deepest
svnvpathy and hope that Lew will
return to us soon.

A delegation of dairy farmers
from the Michigan Milk Producers' Association will take up the
cudgel before the U. S. Department of Agriculture in Washington
in their fight to obtain realistic
adjustments in the Federal Order
governing marketing of milk in
the Detroit area.
This was announced today by
Glenn Lake, president of the Association, who said that the Association's Detroit sales committee has vigorously protested the
disinclination of the Department
of Agriculture to grant price relief to dairy farmers in the order
which already have been obtained
by direct negotiation with milk
dealers.
Lake pointed out that changes
which have been tentatively disallowed by the Department of Agriculture would more nearly meet
•the economic conditions in the mar
ket reflected by the present negotiated price for Class I milk, and
would serve the interests of both
the dairy farmer and the public.
He said exceptions to the USDA
viewpoint would be filed in a brief
to be presented in Washington by
the  farmer delegation before the
end of the month. Notice to this
effect   was   contained   in   a   telegram to the USDA vigorously protesting the Government's position
on  the price  aspects of tiie  Detroit market  order.  Text of  the
telegram follows:
Honorable Ezra T. Benson
Secretary of- Agriculture
Washington, D. C.
"The Detroit market sales committee of the Michigan Milk Producers' Association, representing
85 percent of the total number of
producers on the Detroit market,
officially and vigorously protests
the tentative decisions of the US
DA marketing service denying
Class I milk price relief to farmers in the Detroit marketing area,
and takes definite exception tofobr'
tain other indicated rulings /with
respect to changes sought in the
federal order. On still others we
are fully in accord and jare most
appreciative. y'
-"Specifically,' the committee,
"feels- that your'* proposals doi 'hot
reflect au proper appraisal of the
hearing record with respect to economic conditions prevailing in
this m-airket, particularly as related to the intent of the Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act to assure a fair and "reasonable return
to the farmer in the price he receives for his product. At the level of prices indicated the supply '
of milk for the public in Detroit  is in great jeopardy. More
