An executive committee was appointed to drive the effort, led by Irvin O. Wolf as chairman and Harold H. Hoecker as secretary, with members from Maryland Stockmen’s Association, State Grange, Dairymen’s Association, Home Makers Clubs, and the Maryland Extension Service. Representatives from Farm Bureau, meat packers, and retailers will be added later.
