vies of Reading, Mass, proprietor of

dozen creameries, to the farmers
that furnished the corporation milk
and cream, and committee was ap-
pointed from the N. E. M. p. A. to
see if the plan could be financed as
suggested at the meeting. The local
branches were called together by
Richard Pattee of Boston, manager
of the New England Milk Producers
association and some 40 farmers were
present, including representatives
from Grafton county in New Hamp-
shire, Orange county and half doz-
en- towns in Caledonia county E. H.

bury branch, presided, and in the
absence of the secretary of the local
branch, Guy c. Wright, c.. w. H.
Wilson of Littleton, the Grafton
county agricultural agent, kept the
records.
Mr. Pattee explained the object of
the meeting and then explained in
detail how the big plant at Turner
Center, Me-, owned by Mr.. Bradford
had been purchased by the farmers
of that section for about three-quar-
tiers of a million dollars. He explain
ed how the project was financed and
, said that the opportunity had now
presented itself to purchase of Mr..
Davies his extensive interests and
that half of the money necessary to
buy the property could be secured by

ton, and creameries at Fitch Bay, Ma
cog, Ways Mills and North Hatley
in Canada; West Newbuly, Sheffield
and Passumpsic, and creameries in
two New Hampshire communities,
saltwater and Littleton. He offer
ed all these plants at their physical
value, contributing the good will, and
said he had rather sell the plant to
the farmers that contributed to its
success than to anyone else. He said
the Plymouth Creamery had done a
business in 1919 in excess of
81 1,250, 900 and that he expected it
would do a business Of $1,500,0O in
1920.
Farmers were present from Kirby,
Wheelock, Waterford, st. Johns
bury, Sheffield, Danville, Bradford,
Newbury, Barnet, Littleton and
Woodsville and each man was asked
individually if he favored going ahead

proposed by Mr.. Pattec. The opinion
was unanimous that this be carried

ALLIES REFUSE TO
DEAL WITH SOVIETS

LONDON, Feb. 24- The Allies will
decline to deal with Soviet Russia
until they have arrived at the con-
viction that the Boishevik horrors
have come to an end" i. was announc-
ed at meeting of the Supreme Coun-
Gil today. The decision of the Su-
preme council precludes any diploma
tic relations between the Allied gov
ernments and the Moscow. govern
ment in the near future. The Su-
preme Council is pleased that the in
sternatienal labor bureau had decided
TO send a delegation to Russia to
study conditions but it states its be-
lief that supervision of the delegation
should be under the council of the
League of Nations thereby giving the
delegates greater power.
The council decided that the Allies
could not accept the responsibility of
advising the border states to continue
war against the Bolsheviki, which
course by such states might be iniu-
rious to their interests. If the Boil
sheviki attacks within the territory of
the border states, the allies promise
every possible support.
