that work will be started immed­iately on the construction of a milk receiving plant at Nyssa to develop the milk supply of the territory.

“As soon as we are sure of a supply of milk, plus delivery of equipment, we will start on our proposed plant', Mr. Sirex, assis­tant to the president of the com­pany. said.

“ In view of the delayed delivery of equipment, some of It being as much as two years away, and then at Inflated prices, we find it advis­able to delay the building of our complete processing plant until such time as conditions have im­proved. In the meantime we expect to be able to receive all the milk that is sent to us".

The milk receiving station, cov­ering approximately 5000 square feet, will be erected on the com­pany’s property southwest of Ny­ssa. It will be of concrete and metal «instruction.
