Slight Drop Foreseen In Milk Price
A possible minor decline in Frederick milk prices may occur as spring pasture expands, likely not more than a cent or two per quart. Market watchers say feed costs and metropolitan price levels influence local rates, with pastures slow to develop due to cold weather. Rumors persist that the Frederick County Producers Association may fold, opening the field to other milk suppliers, while no action has followed earlier talks of a Maryland Virginia Milk Producers Association takeover.

Red Demands Are Weak Red Demands Are Weak By Peter Edson
Washington, March 24. The four point German reparations demand list presented by Molotov to the Big Four at Moscow suggests two views. It may split the Allies or reveal Russia’s own economic crisis as it seeks ten billion dollars in reparations and a larger German industrial base. The piece argues Russia moved mills to Russia then returned them, seeking production for barter with food, and notes German steel production is far below targets while Russia may lack food for its own people, strengthening Western bargaining power.
