proposed order; or a statement of the minimum prices or salvage values for milk
to be established, and



(B)  A statement that a copy of the proposed
order will be mailed to any interested person who requests a copy, together
with a description of where and how the requests may be made.

within each milk shed may vary according to the classes or classifications
established by the board; provided that the minimum prices and salvage values
