In keeping with a long-established policy to take appropriate note of local market conditions, especially with reference to retail price in disposing of surplus products in order to avoid loss through unnecessary waste, the party of thefirstpart will purchase the milk it needs for use in its Dairy Plant Laboratory at a price which is substantially equivalent to the so-called pool price paid to the party of the second part by the local milk distributors. T h e party of thefirstpart agrees to do this on the assumption that such a price has been established as the general local market price for this commodity and will accept, until such conditions change as evidence of such local market price, the certified statement of an officer of the party of the second part. It is understood that the market price which the party of the first part will recognize as the market price shall be the price paid by the commercial distributors w h o are under contract with the party of the second part. 3. In pursuance of this policy the party of thefirstpart will purchase milk from the party of the second part on a grading basis acceptable to the party of the first part, provided that the party of thefirstpart pay the gross pool price as established by the party of the second part for milk that contains from 300,000-500,000 bacteria per cc, or milk of comparable quality to that graded as grade B by the Association and which contains 4 percent of butterfat. 4.
