Gallia County Milk Code Sets May First Start
Gallia County dairy regulators plan to enact a county milk code by May 1. H J Swaim of the Ohio Department of Agriculture says amendments were due by April 4. The code fixes base prices for Class 1 milk at 2 08 per hundred with 3 5 percent butterfat, class 2A at 1 60, and keeps local retail at 1 per quart with 1c extra in other villages. A county milk pool will classify base milk by Huntington and Ashland sheds, with enforcement via license revocation for violators. Two five member committees will oversee grievances and control, and peddling cream in Gallipolis on weekdays will be halted. The CODE aims to align Gallia with AAA milk pricing, though no enforcement in West Virginia or Kentucky is provided. Attendees at the Gallia County meeting included Mills White Skidmore Niday Foster Gilman and Eagie.
