THE Housatonic Milk Producers association is sending copies of its constr tuition to farmers throughout the Hous- atomic Valley for the purpose of getting new members. The object of the nsso- citation is to cooperate with the New York. Milk Producing association, and secure to the milk producers uniform and reasonable price for milk. In the past, the milk consumers in New York have paid exhorbitant prices for milk and the producers have received a low price. Committees have been ap- pointed to visit or correspond with the farmers in each town in the Housatonic valley and induce them to join the asso- citation. It has been suggested that the NEWS lend it's influence to forward this movement. We think the association is demanded and will accomplish the end for which it is organized, but we fail to see the necessity of calling on the press to whoop up this question. If the far mers are not receiving a proper equiva- lent for their milk, and don't take inter- est enough in this movement to join it, and thereby secure to themselves a fair price for milk, it is their own funeral, and they cannot expect large attend ance of mourners.
