WRIGHT ACCOUNTING SERVICE 76 Market Street Box 542, Seaforth PHONE '527-1036 GENERAL Ontario dair farmers who produce milk for table use are to receive an additional $1.16 per hundredweight for their milk,. 'effectWe April 1. In announcing the increase in returns to the Province's 8,500 fluid milk producers, the Chair- man of the Ontario Milk Market- ingEoard, George R. McLaughlin stated that for several years the Board has set the price to its producers on an . economic formula, "Recently. available informa- tion on production costs," he said, "indicates that milk produ- cers require an immediate increase in price to offset cost increases and bring milk produ- cers' incomes closer to parity with those of industrial workers. The base value of the formula has been revised to bring it more in lide with current cost and income conditions and more nearly feflectS the Villetirit of 'returns required to provide adequate incomes to milk 'producers." Mr. McLaughlin also said that the new price levels should guarantee consumers adequate milk supplies for the months 22 GODERICH STREET 527.1010 SEAFORTH dive MICHELIN for long-lasting value!

"The current values of the economic formula," Mr. McLaughlin said, "indicate that the price of milk should be in the order of three cents per quart higher than now exists., The increase in 'the prodUcer price is about 10-1/2 per cent. The total increase to the con- sumer will be three cents per quart, plus whatever amount the dairies,and stores add on to cover their requirements. There is no government regulation in Ontario controlling the level of consumer price and therefore, the total amount of the increase, in addition to the producer portion, is dependent on the forces of competition. "For this reason," Mr. McLaughlin said, "we do not know what the final consumer price increase will be."
