features of the entertainment was the

j. Walter Pancoast, of Woodstown,
President Of the new Dairymen's Associa-
tion, has issued the following letter
WooDsTowN, N. j., Feb. 10, 1901.
conference.-the milk shipping dairymen
achieved a fine success, both in the number
present and the quality Of the gathering, at
the meeting held Feb. 9th, in Merchant
Hail. Philadelphia, more than two hundred
and fifty farmers being present. They met
again on Saturday last to adopt Constitu-
ton and Bylaws and to elect the officers
and an executive committee of a Joint
organization Of shippers living in Pennsyl-
yania and New Jersey.
| The Pennsylvanians seem to be thoroughly
| aroused, and one would think the New
jersey shippers would be also, especially
when they learned that while they received
but three and half cents per quart for
milk from February 10, 1900, the Pennsyl-
vanians received four cents per quart until
May /. have this information from a
dairyman shipping on the West Chester and
Philadelphia trolley and from two shippers
located on the Reading system.
If New Jersey farmers are satisfied with
present conditions there is no call for them
to spend time and money in joining an
organization which is dissatisfied with
them, but if they are not content with
present prices and with allowing the deal
ers absolute control over them so long as
they ship, they will not soon again have as
favorable an opportunity to deliver them
selves from such CALLING thraldom as now.
The total cost of membership will
probably not exceed 81 LOO year for each
member, plus small sum to bear his share
of the running expenses of the local union
to which he belongs. There can be no
assessments, the fear of which seems to be
such bug-a-boo in Burlington county,
though have heard men who never with
drew declare more than once that in COM
pairing their milk returns during the life
time of the old association with those sub
sequent to its death, that even after deduct
ing all assessments paid in, their milk paid
them higher price per quart then than it
has since. In one case the assessments were
paid to their own organization, it having
since been paid to the dealers though receiy-
ing less price.
Is it not time to do a little clear think
ing? Is it not time for you to resolve to
have some say as to the price at which you
will sell your milk? Can you have any
control over it while the dealers have a
thorough organization and the farmers have
none? And if it is well that the shippers
be organized, should such an organization
be weak or strong to best secure effective
results? If it were better to be strong
should you not do all you can to make it
50? Can you do anything toward making
it strong and more effective than by join
ing?
And finally will you join, or will you
wait till others fight and win, or because
of your absence, lose the battle in which
your interests are as vital as others?

Decision Day.


The State Sunday School Association has
sent circular to every superintendent in
New Jersey, suggesting the observance OF
Sunday, March 81, as decision day. on
which efforts shall be made to secure the
conversion of all the scholars. The circular
says that this method was first proposed in
New Jersey few years ago, and has since
been widely adopted by Sunday-school
workers and organizations throughout the
country. The method includes previous
conferences with the teachers, visits and
interviews with the scholars during the
week, and special exercises in the Sunday
school on the day named, or on some other
day, if the school prefers The scholars are
to be urged to confess their faith by rising,
coming forward, signing card, remaining
for prayer, or in any other way customary
in the church; and classes are to be formed
for pastoral instruction. The statistical
reports of the General Secretary, Rev. E
M. Ferguson, Trenton, show that the
Sunday-schools are barely holding Their
own in numbers, and that only three and 8
third scholars out Of every hundred united
with the church last year.
