Now, therefore, the Secretary of Agriculture, by virtue of the authority vested in him by the act, hereby determines:
1. That the refusal or failure of said handlers to sign the said tentatively approved marketing agreement, as amended, tends to prevent the effectuation of the declared policy to establish and maintain such marketing conditions in the han dling of milk in the aforesaid area as will reestablish prices of milk to producers of milk in said area at a level that will give such milka purchasing power with respect to articles that such producers buy equivalent to the purchasing power of such milk in the base period, August 1923July 1929; and 2. That the issuance of the amendment to such approved order is the only practical means, pursuant to such policy, of advancing the interests of producers of milk in said area; and 3. That the issuance of the amendment to such approved order is approved or favored by over sixty six and two-thirds 1 1 F. R. 1299.

81 P. R. 2511.

66% per centum of the producers who, during the month o f November 1936, said month being here and now deter mined by the Secretary to be a representative period, have been engaged in the production of milk for sale in the said area.
In witness whereof, I, H. A. Wallace, Secretary of Agri culture, have executed this determination and have hereunto set my hand and caused the official seal Of the Department of Agriculture to be affixed, in the city o f Washington, Dis trict of Columbia, this 19th day of February, 1937.
