MILK PRODUCERS
TO MEET MONDAY
Discussion of Proposed Dairy Plant at
Brattleboro to Be Feature of
Program at Farm Bureau.

More than 80 dairymen already have
given assurance that they viii attend the
meeting of local branch of the New Eng
land Milk Producers association which
viii be held at the Farm Bureau office
Monday evening, Feb. 9 and to which
l25 invitations have been sent to pro-
ducers in this section by the secretary,
C. A. Whipple of Guilford 1t is ex-
pected that this will be one of the larg-
est dairy meetings in Brattleboro in
a long time, as interest in the new dairy
plant plan has become very keen.
While representative number OF
dairymen attended the meeting Jan ID,
only small amount of the interest in
dairy marketing, which is known to eX-
list in the community, was shown. The
producers who are shipping a carload
of milk daily to the Springfield market
are bringing to completion their plans
for the construction of large plant at
Brattleboro. The officers of the local
branch feel that it is unwise for the
/ Brattleboro producers to sit idly by and
see the plant constructed without proper
provision for handling the local product
in case the local producers should choose
to enter
The program, which viii open at
o'clock, includes remarks by the presi
dent, Warner L. Thomas; a talk. The
Adequate Dairy Marketing Plant, by R
D. Lull of Worcester, Mass; talk by
L. Parmelee of Putney on The Countr,
Dairy Plant Scheme; talk by Fl. "
Frost of East Putney on Advantages o
a Central Plant; talk by John Z. Gal
of Guilford on How This Plan Affect
/, Brattleboro Farmers, and discussion b,
members.
: In the letter of invitation the secretar,
: asserts that Brattleboro farmers hav
responded poorly to the meetings, where
r as in other localities of the county wher
meetings have been held the attendant
2 has been large He further states tina
4 the attendance at the meeting Monda
| evening will determine whether weathe
< conditions have been the cause of I'll
apparent lack of interest or whether
n is because the dairymen of Brattlebol
t are not awake to the situation.
