ton. Had they completed the organi-
cation of their proposed Cooperative
Marketing Company, they would have
been in much better position to sell
their milk for full value than they are
now.
I have stated before that we lost
more than the capital stock of this
Marketing Company when we sold our
milk last September at an average of
$500 per 100 lbs. / have made the
same statement regarding our last con-
tract, but now truthfully say that we
will lose more than the capital stock,
$780, 100000, of this proposed Company
during this present month of June Had
this Company been organized and ready
10 act as the Sales and Distributing
Agency for our milk on April 1st, 1917,
nearer its actual value.
Without question, we could have sold
April for $3.50, May for 1925, and June
for $500 even. Figure up the milk
produced by our $4,000 members for the
month of June at 40 cents per 100 lbs.
and see what it has cost us to stand
and listen to those men that are telling
us that we don't need a Marketing
Company and that we can sell our own
milk.
Of course we can sell our own milk,
but experience shows that it is always
at less than it costs to produce it, be-
cause we lack true cooperation. We
only seem to think of our own individ-
ual interest, forgetting that there are
now $4,000 of us whose interests are
identical, and that ife we cut out some
of our selfishness and work together
in true cooperative spirit, we can
accomplish more than by sticking to the
old customs and sentiments which have
already cost US so much money.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained -
is an old and true saying. We have
nothing invested in marketing or dis
tributing our products. Now let's get
busy and complete the organization of
our Marketing Company, and try to
distribute and sell our milk at price
that will warrant us to continue in the
milk producing industry. Let's be in
shape to contract our milk for what it
costs to produce it with fair profit to
ourselves. I don't care whether the
contract is made for one month, six
months, or one year, let's go to work in
a business way.

MILK SHIPPERS MEET.

A meeting was held at Pleasant
Prairie on Monday evening Of this
week. It was well attended by the
dairymen of that vicinity. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr.. F. T.
Holt, President of the Pleasant Prairie
Milk Products Company.
Mr.. G. III. Potter, chairman of the
Milk Board, of the Milk Producers AS
ISOLATION gave a very interesting and
comprehensive talk on the purpose of
the proposed Milk Producers, Co-Opera-
tive Marketing Company.
He strongly urged the dairymen of
Pleasant Prairie and vicinity to pro-
coed, at once, to complete the Pleasant
Prairie cheese factory with the assur-
ance that the Marketing Company
would take over the stock in this fac
tory at its full value paying for it in
stock in COOPERATIVE Company. Mr..
Holt strongly urged that this be done
and at once.
Mr.. Potter has been actively engaged
and interested in dairying and in the
dairy industry for more than forty
years. He has been close student on
the subject of marketing milk and fully
endorses the purposes and plans of the
Cooperative Marketing Company.
Extracts from letters recently written
by Mr.. Potter are as follows:
Yes, we have sold our milk too cheap,
all must admit that, but it was our own
fault Farmers are always inclined to
run to easy street. With their milk
sold for six months they feel that they
are in that street, even though no con
sideration of what it will cost to pro
duce the milk has been made. They
insist on selling six months in advance
