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- (Continued on Page 4) "PAGE TWO an the fallin NATIONAL At et < ASSOCIFATIION | wd Riwaaarurs Ee GEORGIA MARKET BULLETIN] - list ond for ohen ge at eee to STATE au.

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. _ SIXTY-FORTY The research which yielded the for-. SHEEP AND GOATS SHEEP AND GOATS MARKET BULL K PRICING 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.
