ON THE FARM FRONT

By Chic Young

By Larry D. Hatfield WASHINGTON UPI —Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman is expected to act quickly — possibly this week — to increase minimum prices for dairy farmers in 70 federal milk marketing order areas. Freeman returns from a pulse-taking trip to the Midwest today and Agriculture Department officials say his decision on proposals to increase mini-

mum prices paid for fluid milk should come “fairly soon’' after his return. Regional hearings were held in Denver, St Louis, Cleveland and Washington, D. C., last week on farmers’ pleas for higher milk prices. Under the federal marketing orders, the secretary has the authority to set minimum prices processors must pay dairy farmers for bottling milk.

The secretary was briefed on findings of last week’s hearings before he left on his midwestem tour Tuesday night. A top aide said Freeman wanted to get more fanner reaction during his trip to Kansas, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois before making a final decision. Fanners generally are asking for an across-the-board boost in prices of at least 40 cents per hundredweight. Dairymen and a number of New York legislators asked for an additional 50 cents for the depressed dairy industry In New York and New Jersey. Farmers In other areas of the country also asked for more than 40 cents In some marketing areas. Freeman is expected to approve increased prices, but administration farm officials would not speculate on how much the boosts would be. The effect of a boost in market prices on the price of milk at the grocery store is impos-

sible to predict, department economists said. A 40-cent per hundredweight increase would mean an increase of about one cent a quart to the farmer. But increases in consumer prices would depend on varying local conditions, they said. Some areas will probably face higher retail prices if Freeman moves to boost market prices, but government farm officials believe consumers are willing to pay a little bit more to insure an adequate supply.

New house or old. •. large or small •.. buying or selling, you’ll move it easier and faster when it’s heated with clean, dependable, low-cost natural gas. Folks in Indiana Gas & Water Land like the normal, healthy air changes that gently waft away stale air, cooking odors and smoke. They’re pleased because they can afford to heat all their rooms, including the basement, at a comfortable temperature, day and night And when these folks install gas air conditioning in their homes, they find that the wondrous gas flame makes them as comfortable in summer as it does in winter—using the same ducts and registers. V

Above all, Indiana Gas & Water folks have found that heating with gas is far and away the most economical of all automatic heating methods. So it’s no wonder that 82 out of every 100 of our customers heat with gas. And of every 10 new homes built in IG&W Land, 9 are heated with gas.
