lected. Such a formula Saya best fill the
needs of the dairy indusiry of Georgia

because it would automatically change.

ihe price of Class I fluid milk as economic
conditions change.
The next step was the selection of

_economic factors to be included in the for-

mula. These were selected for testing in
the formula chiefly through economic
logic. The factors finally included were
determined on the basis of degree of as-

sociation with milk prices in the past;

availability of data for use in a workable
formula; harmony of relations among
producers, processors-distributors, and
consumers; limitaticn of the number of
variables used for <'mplicity; and reflec-

| tion in the formula price of economic

conditions both in the national and local
economy.

FULFILL SPECIFICATIONS

There are three economic factors, (1)
U. S. wholesale price index, (2) Georgia
per capita income, and (3) Georgia feed-
labor index, that most nearly fulfill all
these specifications.. The United States
wholesale price index reflects the gen-
eral level of both farm and non-farm

prices throughout the United States

Georgia per capita income reflects the
buying power of Georgia consumers, and

/ when used in conjunction with the level

of prices reflects technological progress
and changes in real income.
labor index reflects the variable costs to

-dairymen of producing milk. :
The feed-labor index is weighed 70

The feed-



Entomoloaists Suggest
Tomato Sprays, Dusts

The Georgia Department of Entomol-
ogy recommends the following materials
for spraying and dusting tomatoes, and
suggests a method of application:

Spray Materials Fungicide: Z-78,
Zineb, or Parzate - 2 pounds per 100 gal-
lons of water. Tri-basic copper sulphate
Microgel or copper A - 4 pounds per
100 gallons of water. Insecticide: Cal- -
cium arsenate - 4 pounds per 100 gallons
of water. Dust Formula 7% metallic
copper 20% of 30% calcium arsenate. |

Apply when plants are set out and
at from 7 to 10 day intervals thereafter
throughout the growing season. Calcium
arsenate should not be used closer than
four weeks before the green wraps are
harvested.



percent feed and 30% labor. Feed prices
include the price of hay and the price of
concentrates as published monthly by the ~
Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Labor
prices are farm wage rates for the State

. published quarterly by the Agricultural

Marketing Service, USDA. Feed and labor
costs are converted to index numbers
based on a 1947-49 base. Although in-
dividual producers may pay higher or
lewer wages than those reported for the ;
state, the index represents the change
which is the important consideration ina

formula index.

PER CAPITA INCOME

Per capita income is the dollar income
per person in the State. It is published
annually by the United States Depart-
ment of Commerce.

The wholesale price index which is:
used as a measure of the trend and level
of prices of all commodities is published
monthly by the United States Department
of Commerce.

. After the final selection of economic
factors to be included in the formula,
the next step was the determination of
the base period to use. This always pre-

sents a problem in computing an index,

especially in formula pricing. Two things
are important: (1) a recent period should
be used, and (2) a period of fairly stable
economic conditions when the various
elements of the economy were in adjust-
ment. The period 1947-49 was selected
as a base period for formula pricing of
milk in Georgia. It is the most recent

period of fairly stable economic condi-

CLOSER TO PRICES

Onee the economic indicators to be in-
eluded in a formula were selected and
the base period to be used determined,
statistical proeedures were employed
which automatically weighed these fac-
tors and permitted the derivation of a
formula which when used to calculate
prices of milk during-a prior period
yielded ealculated prices closer to actual
prices than any alternative formula.

This, in a non-technical language, is
briefly and essentially the method used
in the development of the formula pre-
sented to the dairy industry of the State. _

The formula index will be calculated
on the first of each month based on a
substitution of the latest available data
for the factors in the formula to arrive

_at the formula index.

mula submitted to the dairy industry was
designed to establish an index for

I price to producers, In the course of
cussion and final adoption of the formula
by the dairy industry, it was deelded

an advisory eommittee, representing the
various segments of the dairy industry
and consumers, to retain the 60-40 shar-
ing between producers and distributors
of any price change. It was further de-
cided by this committee and the board
that producer priee changes would be
bracketed to a one cent per quart retail
price change.

Since a hundredweight of milk yields

45 quarts (allowing for plant loss of 1.5 -

quarts), a change of 27 cents per hun-
dredweight in the producer price is
equivalent to a one cent per quart retail
price change. The index calculated by the
formula was hence bracketed to include
a range of 27 cents in the producer price.
Rather than permit the producer price
to fluctuate each month, the industry
committee favored paying the producer
the mid-point price in the bracket in which
the calculated index fell. Distributors
