Manipulation of milk - sources enabled distributors in thc l New York milk shed to buy fiuid mlll^l below prices fixed by the State Control Board, and resulted in pressed prices to dairy farmers, ac-' cording to a report made public by the Federal Trade Commission. '' , ,

The report was based on a field in-. || V estigation into trade practices in the' £ New York milk-shed. The investlga-r tion was to determine if there were attempts to lesson competition or crem­ate a monopoly or conspiracy in res­traint of trade in the milk industry in New York state.

The commission asserted that in '. one instance the manipulation of. sources of supply by the distributors “by shifting plants frona one sub- sidi;ary to andthjgr” caused' farmers delivering milk in New York State-fi receive surplus Instead of milk fluid prices,, as a result of which the pro ducers lost at the rate of more than. f200,000 a year.

the commission reported:“Subsidiaries of National Dairy

Fearful . that the open season on deer in Otsego county this fall will result in wholesale slaugliter on their lands, fatmers ip tW" wooded sections are beginning to^.post their, properties against hunters/ '

Under the action of the state legis­lature passed at the last session through • the efforts of the late as­semblyman Frank Sherman of One­onta, the ,ban on deer will be lifted in Otsego county ^from Nbv. Ist to 15th, the same period allowed in Neighboring Delaware county. The bill stipulates that only shotguns may be used during the open season here.

It is estimated that when the sea­son opens approximately half of the county will be posted against deer hunters. Sentiment among farmers in regard to the open season was about evenly divided at a hearing by the conservation department, held prior to the adoption of the bill.

According to Milo E. - JjTliQnipson,

is receiving daily i equests mation concerning the legal methods of posting private land.
