Farmers Selling Milk In Bulk Do
Not Get What 1t Actually Costs
Figures AT Meeting.

The 18th and last hearing by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce of the
milk producers of New England was
held at Pythian hall last Wednesday
and was attended by nearly 100
farmers from a broad territory.
Farmers were present from Newport
and Irasburg on the north and from
Norwich, Oxford, N. H., Newbury,
Bradford, south of this county and
nearly every town in Caledonia coun-
ty was represented at the meeting.
Plain talk was INDUCED in and the
discussion of facts was very helpful
to the milk producers present.
The meeting was called to order
by E. S. Brigham, state commission
er of agriculture who said these
hearings were held under the auspi-
ces of the committee on agriculture
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
1t is found that the price of milk to
the producer in Vermont is too low
to yield a reasonable profit and as
result there had been a decrease of
1000 in the number of dairy COWS
and meat stock kept in Vermont in
the past two years. This calls for
serious consideration and at the in
stigation of the New England Milk
Producers Association the Boston
Chamber of Commerce has under
taken an investigation to find what
the production of milk actually
costs, what is the cost of distribu-
tion and so the proper division of
the income from milk among those
interested in it. These hearings
give the farmer an opportunity to be
heard and will also give their side
of the case publicity.
Secretary Orcutt
Commissioner Brigham then pre-
sented John G. Orcutt, secretary of
the committee on agriculture of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce. He
said that such a change had taken
place in the production and distri-
button of milk that the cost of pro-
duct1on has greatly increased with
out corresponding increase in the
prices paid the consumer. He
said the object of the inquiry is to
find the general conditions in common
producing and consuming centers.
About rs cars of milk are moved
daily in New England and 55 of them
go into Boston. They expect to
make report on a part of their in
vestigation next month and then
they will begin hearings before the
distributors of milk. He called at
tention to a map they had prepared
showing the supplies of milk for the
Boston trade. Vermont sends to
Boston from 240 stations. He then
introduced Lyon Weyburn, an attor-
ney who took charge of the hearing.

AN OLD RELIC.

| While looking through the
faded pages Of an old magazine
bought from an early settler OF
New Iberia, a vivid reminder Of
the distant past was found be.
tween the leaves, bearing mute,
but eloquent testimony Of hard
ships and privations imposed,
upon oM forebears, which rele-
gates our present little woes to
nothingness At time when de-
vastated by war, when few we're
spared the sorrow Of the death or
manning Of some loved one on
the battle field, when want and
famine gripped the entire South.
At that time. men of substance
and Of work united Their efforts
to alleviate the distress and
Tighten the sufferings Of their less
fortunate neighbors. In this
community there existed at the
time the firm of j. j. Mistrot &
Co.. composed of Messrs. j. j.
Mistrot and ULCER Decuir,
staunch, upright citizens whose
numerous descendants are to-day
filing places Of usefulness and
of honor throughout Louisiana
and Texas. Engaged in the mer-
camille business, theirs was the
duty to supply the wants of the
impoverished population. Wo-
r,en and children whose bus
bands and fathers were fighting
for the cause of the Southland
had to be fed and clothed and
money for the purpose unavail-
able. To meet such conditions,
ways and means must be devised,
and j. j. Mistrot & Co.. as other
leading spirits, provided these
ways and means, by issuing their
own due bills, furnishing the nee
essary provisions and enabling
the people to have some method
Of exchange in lieu of money of
which the country was devoid.
One Of these bills Of exchange,
possibly hidden in the old mag
azine for safe keeping and then
forgotten when more prosperous
times came has just come to light,
it reads:
j. j. Mistrot & Co. will pay to
the bearer the sum of One Dollar.
Redeemable in Confederate notes
n the amount of Twenty Dollars.
New Iberia, April 18th, 1862.
