MILK PRODUCERS TO ORGANIZE.

augurated at Springfield and Secretary
Richard Pattee Of the New England
Milk Producers association has sent
out calls which will result in the organ.
ization, within a month, of more than
100000 dairymen into a strong central
body.
These producers are to meet at their
respective county seats on Saturday
Dec. 30, to effect local organization
and send delegates TO a general organ
ization meeting. 1t is planned to effect
the organization before the annual meet
ing of the New England Milk Produ
GERS association in Boston in February
The new organization would control the
output of 500, 900 cows and it is planned
as a means to secure a square deal from
the dealers as well as to boost the home
consumption of New England product,
IN competition with western dairy prod
ucts.
This should result in q benefit to the
home consumer not only in the matter
of price, but also in the very important
matter of the freshness of the good.
that such an association will be in 4
position to put out.

Eating Less Meat.

The effect of the high prices is shown
in the falling off in tie per capita con-
sumption of meat. vssrh dropped from
S7.5 pounds in 1909 to 70 pounds in
1914. The figures for 1915 are not
available, but in all probability when
they are at hand they will show still
further reduction, as will also the fig
urcs for 1915 are not available, but in
all probability when they are at hand
they will show still further reduc-
ton, as will also the figures for the cur
rent year Higher prices seem to be
accomplishing what medical experts
and dietitians have been recommending
for years, and the reduced consumption
of meat probably will be beneficial 20
those that can still afford to purchase
a supply sufficient to their actual needs.
The real hardship falls on the families
of small means that find themselves
unable to buy as much meat at the
present prices as a properly balanced
diet requires.
