Dairymen Get Former
Borden President

Bucks and Hunterdon County dairy
men will be interested 10 know that
the Dairymen's League has recently
hired Mr.. C. A. Weiant. who was
formerly the president of the Borden's
Farm Products Company and VINO IS
one of the most expert milk men in
the United States. Ar. Weiant VIII
assist the organization in establish
ing markets for and selling Dairy
mems League milk and manufactured
products, and his expert help and ad-
vice viii be q very large factor in
assuring success for the Dairymen's
League Co operative Association.
Securing the services Of trained ex-
perts, such as Mr.. Weiant, IS an
effective answer TO the propaganda
put out by the enemies OF organized
farmers that farmers cannot success
fully run their own business.
The success of the Dairymen's
League organization the last four
years has been due TO no small extent
70 the quality by the membership of
the organization and directors, who
were chosen by the membership Of the
organization, and to the expert work
ers whom these directors have hired
70 do the technical work. Every en-
Dloye that the league acquires must
nave, first, sympathy with and the
viewpoint Of farmers, and, second, ex-
pert training and experience which
viii enable him 70 do his particular
work IN the organization.
The man in charge Of the organiza-
ton work Of the league, Mr.. T. E.
Milliman, was formerly one of the
most successful farm bureau men in
The state. in charge Of farm bureau
work in Orange County. During the
milk strike in 1916, and again in 1919,
me success that the dairymen at
aimed was due to no small extent to
farm bureau men ike Mr.. Milliman,
who did not hesitate to work almost
night and day to encourage the dairy
men to stand together So success
ful was Mr. Milliman's work that he
was promoted from the work in
Orange County to assistant county
agent leader of New York State, with
headquarters at the College Of Agri-
culture at ithaca. Because of his
farm training, farmers viewpoint and
mis- great knowledge of organization
affairs, he was chosen by the officers
Of the Dairymen's League to head
one of the most important depart
ments in the organization.
Another instance of the ability of
farmers organizations to get the best
kind of help is the securing by the
league of the services of Mr.. F. A.
Hear. Mr.. Hear was for thirty years
one of the most successful newspaper
men in New York City. 1t has been
his business since coming with the
league to see that the public.
especially in the great cities, had the
correct information about farmers and
what they were trying to do in an
organized way. Largely because of
Mr.. Hears valuable work the people
| of New York City have an entirely
different viewpoint of farmers and of
| dairymen from what they had year
ago.
Mr.. W. w. Hovey, employed as
manager of the Cooperative Associa-
ton, is noted throughout eastern
| United States as the man who sue
cessfully built large milk corpora
ton. His experience in the milk bust
ness and proven executive ability in
sure proper business management of
the farmers business.
1t would seem perfectly obvious
that it is just as possible for farm
ers. to hire experts like Mr.. Weiant
and Mr.. Hovey, who work directly
for farmers and are responsible to
them, as it is for milk dealers to hire
such experts who work, not for the
| producers or the consumers, but for
the interests which are between the
two parties most concerned.
