Wisconsin Milk Production Reaches Record 16.5 Billion
Wisconsin leads the nation with a record milk output of 16,547,000,000 pounds in 1955, produced by 2,311,000 cows averaging 7,160 pounds. The crop report notes higher feed efficiency and forecasts 1956 output to surpass 1955. Prices paid to farmers dipped modestly, with milk at 3.20 per hundred pounds in March, and farm wages near highs, while meat prices fell. In local notes, curb and gutter bids for 1956 work and an ordinance to raise garbage can capacity were approved, and twin teachers Geraldine and Marilyn Ilaria were named for Twin Falls third grade.

Democrats Ask State Pay Raise For Wisconsin Officials
Forty two of the forty four Democratic lawmakers urged the Wisconsin emergency board to grant immediate pay raises for state civil service employees and University of Wisconsin and state college faculty. They cited past support and a defeated prior bill, urging action to rectify perceived injustice to educators and workers. The push follows a 7 percent demand by the state employees union, with the board holding jurisdiction during legislative recess.
