Mr.. Weyburn

Mr.. Weyburn said the Boston
Chamber OF Commerce has about
5000 members and Is the largest
commercial organization in the
world, and so the undertaking OF
this work on its part shows that 1t
is very important. There are in
New England today 1SS,000 milk
producers and If they should increase
the income of each producer 500
year 1t would mean about $40, OOO,-
900 more distributed among the
farmers Of this section. The farmer
does not need to create a demand for
his product the same as manufac-
turer does, il is already created and
all the farmer needs do is to fill the
demand to his best advantage. He
said what they wanted was to lea. n
the actual facts as nearly as possible.
ShOwings OF Diaries.
He first called on c. w. Richmond
of Newport who has a 160 acre farm
about half of which is tillable land.
He keeps % cows and the tendency
was to keep less because he was not
always able to find the good help
needed. He was paying $35, house
rent and milk to a good man the
year around. His cows are grades
but he keeps a full blooded ayrshire
bull. He sells his milk in bulk to a
man who retails ii in the village OF
Newport. He gets four cents a
quart in the summer and four and
one-half cents in the winter. The
average production of his dairy the
past year had been 5113 pounds per
COW. He feeds one pound of grain
to each four pounds of milk produced
and figured his hay at $40 a ton, but
his hay would sell for from $13 to
STA a ton in his barn. The care of
the cow he figured at II II cents an
hour putting in his time at the same
rate as a hired man. On this basis
the cost of keeping a COW a year is

Mr.. Weyburn asked how many OF
the farmers present weighed their
milk and knew how much their cows
were producing and 15 raised their
hands. This was less than one-fifth
of those present.
c. T. Metcalf of Irasburg has a
herd of 20 COWS and sells his cream
to a local creamery. The average
price for butter fat for the year was
1927 a pound. This is equivalent
to 2B cents a quart for milk and 1t
cost him and one-sixth cents a
quart to produce it. He had inquired
his hay fed to his cows at $40 ton
and felt that he made some profit on
the hay at that price. He figured his
cost and income per COW as. follows:

G. H. WhippIe or sutton SAID ne
had herd of II cows that cost him
$1,675.45 to keep the past year. 1t
had not produced enough milk to
pay that sum. He is simply keep
ing his farm running in the hope
that his son might take the farm and
make more of success of it than he
had done. He would consider $2.37
hundred weight fair price for
milk. The average production per
COW for the past year had been about
1000 pounds of milk. This was an
off year however as two years ago
his cows averaged $500 pounds of
milk.
G.. NJ. Slack of Newbury said 1t cost
him five cents a quart to produce his
milk and he was selling it for Is
cents a quart. He made his money
by raising stock to sell.
Richard Darling of Newbury said
he was selling his milk to Hood for
$1.60 per hundred. He was making
no money of his milk but sells about
800 tons of hay year and so makes
some money.
