Milk Drunk Up Nation's Most At Plattsmouth WASHINGTON Senator Ro man Hruska (R.-Neb.) said to day the rapidly expanding school milk program is good news for both parents and farmers. "Increased milk consumption by children in school is a fine achievement' in two respects," Hruska said. "It does not dis place any regular milk consump tion and it teaches the use and value of this excellent food pro duct. Because this is an addi tional use for milk, this is a net increase in total milk consump tion." Congress authorized use of Commodity Credit Corporation funds for the school milk pro gram in the Agriculture Act of 1954. Nationwide, it brought milk to children in some 7,000 schools which had not previously been served. Half the nation's school children now receive milk under the program. Hruska said a recent survey shows a 67 per cent increase in milk consumption in 22 city and county school systems studied. "Three Nebraska cit ies were included in this sur vey," .he .said, ."and .one, Plattsmouth, led the nation with a report of 560 (CQ) per i- cent increase in school milk consumption. Omaha and Lin coln also reported substantial increases." Now pending in the Senate, according to the Senator, is a measure which would extend the program another year and in crease use of CCC funds by 20 per cent. This bill was approved by the House February 1st. "This sharp increase in school milk drinking," Hruska conclud ed, "is a fine health achieve ment as well as a substantial contribution to - prevention of new dairy surplusses. It is a sound addition to our arsenal of weapons for relieving the price squeeze on our farmers. It is a constructive approach because we are promoting expanded markets for the future."

Seaton, assistant to President Eisenhow er, will be the principal speak er at the National Pasture-Forage - Livestock Conference in Omaha, March 15. , t Speaking at the noon luncheon session, Mr. Sealon will give midwest farmers and stockmen a look into the future as he de velops the conference theme, "Where Do We Go From Here?"
