Epitomized their statements were that few if any farmers know the exact cost of producing milk; all want better prices; none is making money at the prices offered by the contrac- tcrs who serve as middlemen; from four to six cents quart is not a suff1- cient price to bring return with the present prices on grain and other feed for milch cattle; that few farmers have individual shipping contracts or as individuals are able to take their milk to Boston to supply customers The speakers urged co-operation among farmers to the end that they might place their supply in Boston without dependence upon the middle men.
 It was pointed out that returns to farmers have been so poor that many of them have given up milk raising
 There were fully 150 farmers nres- ent.
 The next hearing will be at Flaw lcyville, tomorrow.

Pres. J R. Al(TjWS Selects Thirty
 Representative Cit z5nS.

 To aid MT. Moore in corre1ating the people interested in the future of New Britain into one powerful body President J. R. Andrews of the New Britain Business Mems association, who is spending his vacation in New Hampshire, has forwarded the ap- pointnacnt of a citizens organization committee as follows:

 Need of Cooperation.
 ; No city realizes itself and its own responsibilities until it is thoroughly organized from commercial stand point Until the fact of the personal responsibility of the citizens has been thoroughly driven home with the re- suit that a great strong organization has been made-a great strong, central civic body strong both financially and commercially.
 'The New Britain Business Mems association during it's existence has been a constructive force but this community realized that the activities should be broadened and that the or sanitation should be more representa- tive.
 "A rousing mem bership campaign will be necessary in New Britain to make this organization and to place 1t on a par with the best in the coun- Cry.
 ''No campaign of this character can be successfully undertaken without the aid and cooperation of all true, loyal citizens.
 ITO sum up the case We might add that the time has come when New Britain should take a broader view of affairs. We are taking steps along civic lines to make a greater city commercially. The work now being undertaken has in view the accom- p1ishment of this end. The success of the plan depends upon the will x ingness of the general public to CO., operate"
