Embree Ialks Sensibly
OnN.E. Milk F reducing
= Farmers Union Idea

It has been decided by the best auth
critics and by actual experience that
there is but one safe, sane method In
promoting and maintaining a success
full farmers organization. This IS
what we call a federation or. in other
words, the fouAdation must be laid at
the farm and the farmer placed in
charge. After a sufficient number OF
these local business units have been
organized then 1t is time to organize
the central body.
In the present case the New England
Milk Producers, now with headquarters
at Springfield. Mass, is the central
bady. This organization will prob
ably send out good organizers and start
Just such distributing houses as that
being organized at Providence. AS fast
as these houses are located they will
federate with the n. e. Milk Produc-
ers Association and in time every i'm
nortant consuming center Will have Its
distributing house. but these will be a
part of the whole. The n. L. Milk Pro-
ducers will neither buy nor sell but on
the ether hand will be the supervising
body and the one to which the
distributing houses will look for
protection in times Of trouble.
The New England Milk Producers
in doing business in this way
will be a valuable asset, but if they
should decide to operate with individu-
al membership scattered all over the
six New England states there would
be no possiblee way that they could
meet with success.
| The New England movement, the To-
prs1 nj nd al ~ "
working for the movement are but the
agents of the producer. These forces
can do nothing hut open the door for
the farmer to erter. The responsible
ity must rest upon the producer to
solve his own problems for where there
is no responsibility there can be no
success. If Maine desires to know how
to organize it's milk interest the pro-
ducerS do not lack a practical demon
stration in the way the Farmers Union
was organized and in the way it was
intended that it should be conducted.
IT is all very well to meet and ap-
point officers representing various sec
tions, but this does not solve any of the
problems. If the Maine producers wish
to do anything other than half way
measures, let them establish distrib-
/ uting agencies in Portland, Lewiston,
Augusta, WaterVille, Bangor and other
consuming centers. In organizing in
, this way they will be able to take care
Of the prices on milk that so to the big
dairies and large consuming centers.
Finally when the six states are well
organized, great distributing plants
can be located in Boston and other
large cities and then we will have
solved the problem as to how best to
sell our milk.
In the meantime let us turn our at
tention to reducing the cost of produc-
ton. Then by buying the raw mater
ial for less money and getting more for
the finished product we will make
farming profitable, thus enhancing the
value of our farms and stop the farm
boys from going to the city and work
ing for $50 the day and calling it
better than farming.

These who are interested in the milk
situation in New England have
watched very closely the outcome of
the plan to organize all New England
in one day. Many see simply what
appeared on the surface. hut to those
| who were looking deep into the matter
there was another story to be told. Any
man who had any experience knew, of
course. tha. all that was expected was
to create an interest all over the vari-
Gus districts wtere the dairy was in
evidence.
Two or three sections are already
orofiting from the free advertising
brought about by the meetings. One Of
these sections was that part OF Rhode
Islard, Connecticut and Massachusetts
where the milk producers ship their
product to the Providence market.
The Producers Cooperative Dairy AS
sociation Of Rhode Island was iEcor-
porated under the laws Of Rhode Island
for the purpose of tabliShing q dis
tributing house in the city of Prov
idence Immediately after the county
meetings were held all over New Eng
land this association got busy. Meet
ings were called in the various proc
ducirg centers and we went out with
well defined plans. AS result last
week local business units were organ
izcd in Columbia. Conn. Foster Cen
ter r. l.. Cumberland, Z. l.. and Re-
hoboth, Mass. These local units are
organized along the same lines as the
farmers Unions of Maine and will
shortly start .bdying supplies. This
week three more will be organized and
by April it is expected there will be
about 90 Of these locals all affiliated
withthe Producers Cooperative Dairy
Association as the central body.
The difference between the methods
here and ir Maine is that the central
body was organized first and the milk
producers subscribe for the stock as in
dividuals and then federate the local
units for buying purposes. In this way
the central body will have large buy
ing power and be able to show the local
units how they can reduce the cost of
production. In Rhode Island as in 9TH
err urorganized territory the farmer is
selling his product a the lowest whole
sale price and paying the highest retail
price for the raw material that enters
into the manufacture of the finished
article. This. movement in Rhode Is
{
will make 1t possible to make a profit
on selling milk. 1t will do more. At the
present time farms would not sell for
near their actual value because Of the
fact that there is no profit in manufac
turing milk. AS soon as the association
is we'll launched In business the pro-
ducirg of milk will be able to show
good profit and the value of the farms
Will be increased onc-third.
One of the great advantages Of this
movement to market dairy products
through and by cooperative distribu-
ton is that in the past the various milk
peddlers went out in the country and
made the best possible contract with
the Individual farmer and as result
various prices are being paid. In one
section one farmer was getting IS cents
another 53 cents and still another 50
cents. This usually results in the high
man being reduced finally to the low
est price.
