Whereas, the Secretary of Agriculture, pursuant to Sec tions 8b and 8c of Title I of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, approved May 12, 1933, as amended, hereinafter called the act, having reason to believe that the issuance of a marketing agreement and order with respect to the handling of milk in the District of Columbia Marketing Area would tend to effec tuate the declared policy to establish and maintain such marketing conditions in the handling of milk in the aforesaid area as would reestablish prices of milk to producers of milk in said area at a level that would give such milk a purchasing power with respect to articles that such producers buy equivalent to the purchasing power o f milk in the base period, August 1924-July 1929, gave, on the 2nd day o f July 1936, notice of a hearing,1 which was held on the 20th day of July 1936, at Washington in the District of Columbia, on a proposed marketing agreement and a proposed order regulating the handling of milk in the District of Columbia Marketing Area, at which time and place all interested par ties were afforded an opportunity to be heard on the proposed marketing agreement and the proposed order; and Whereas, after such hearing and after the tentative ap proval by the Secretary of a marketing agreement on the 25th day of August 1936, handlers of more than 50 per centum of the volume of milk, covered by such proposed order, which is produced or marketed within the District of Columbia Marketing Area, refused or failed to sign such marketing agreement relating to milk;
Now, therefore, the Secretary of Agriculture, by virtue of the authority vested in him by the act, does hereby determine:
1. That the refusal or failure of said handlers to sign the said marketing agreement tends to prevent the effectuation of the declared policy to establish and maintain such market ing conditions in the handling 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 milk a purchasing power with respect to articles that such producers buy equivalent to the purchasing power of such milk in the base period, August 1924-July 1929; and 2. That the issuance of the proposed 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 proposed order is approved or favored by over eighty-four 84 per centum of the producers who, during the month of June 1936, said month being here and now determined by the Secretary to be a 11 F.
