DISCUSS CHEESE
AT Z MEETINGS
FARMERS HEAR TALKS ON
COOPERATIVE SYSTEM
OF MARKETING

The last of series of twelve meet
ings held under the direction of the
Wisconsin Cheese Producers Fedora
ton was held at Elderon Friday even
ing. All of these meetings were we'll
attended, interested farmers turning
out in large numbers in spite OF the
fact that this is busy part of the
harvest season. The attendance at
the afternoon sessions varied from
thirty to a hundred and in the even
ing as high as 10 farmers were pres
ent. Keen interest in the co-opera-
tive system of marketing one of the
most important dairy products was
shown by the character of the ques-.
lions asked the speakers.
Principal Speakers
Math Michels, representing the di-
vision of markets, and F. G. Swoboda,
field man for the federation, were the
principal speakers of the various
programs. w. J. Rogan, county agent,
was able to attend only part of the
meetings on account of previous en-
gagements. Jos. Kremsreiter of
Athens spoke at several of the meet
ings.
Mr.. Michels and Mr.. Swoboda ex-
planned the aims and purposes of the
federation, telling of the work that
is being accomplished and the plans
that are being made for extending it's
activities and increasing its field of
usefulness. Mr. Rogan assured the
farmers that the state college of agri-
culture realized the Importance and
the necessity of farmers being assur-
ed better prices by marketing their
own products and was assisting the
work of the federation because it felt
that this organization has demon
strated that it can improve marketing
conditions
At practically all places where
meetings were held committee men
were appointed for each factory rep
resented. Local organizers were APP
pointed and these will cooperate with
Mr.. Swoboda in singing up individ-
ual factories. 1t was stated that
twenty-five towns in Marathon coun-
ty were already wholly or in part or
ganiZed for the federation.
-Four Reasons
According to Mr.. Swoboda there are
four reasons why every farmer should
favor marketing his cheese through
the federation. First" said he, "the
federation has demonstrated its abil-
,ity to get better price for the
cheese it markets than is received by
the average factory. Second, it is
working consistently to improve the
quality of the c/ese it handles, en-
ploying inspectors who work full
time with cheese makers and patrons.
Third the federation will have sta
bilizing influence on the market just
as soon as it gets control of the mar

keting OF a larger proportion of the
cheese. Fourth, the federation, will.
| through an advertising campaign al
ready planned, increase the demand
4 for cheese and this should mean bet
I ter prices.
County Agent VIM. j. Rogan gives
some statistics on the cheese situa-.
ton. He says: practically one half
of the cheese of Wisconsin is produc-
ed during the months of April, NAV.
June and July and prices during
these months have been very low. 1t
is the season when production great
~ exceeds the consumption and when
much or the cheese produced is put
into cold storage for fall and winter
consumption. Right now at the close
of the four months period of high pro-
ducuon the average price of cheese is
approximately 10 cents per pound
higher than the prevailing price for
that period. In other words it has
cost the farmer good share of that
10 cents per pound difference in price
just TO have the cheese that was
made from his milk during the past
four months put into cold storage;
which represents about one half of
the cheese he produces in the entire
year.
Save Cost
"a saving in the cost of marketing
OF 10 cents per pound on 111,540, 900
pounds of cheese produced during
those four months would mean total
saving of $l1,154,000 to the cheese
producing farmers of Wisconsin,
sum large enough to pay for all the
cost OF organizing and establishing
far more efficient cheese marketing
and storage system that may be own
ed, operated and controlled by the
farmers themselves. To farmer with
herd of 10 good cows producing an
average of 40 pounds of milk per day
for the four months it would mean
saving of about $3.50 for the period.
"The Marathon county farmer has
not benefited by the recent increase
in price of cheese on the cheese he
produced during most of the four
months period. Neither has the con-
sumner benefited by the decrease price
the farmer received during that peri
cd, for the decrease was not passed
on to him. Retail prices for cheese
remained practically at the same level
they had previously been. What is
the remedy for this high cost to the
farmer for marketing practically one
half of his entire years output of
cheese? A system of farmers markets
whereby that portion of the cheese
made during the period of high pro-
duction which must go into cold stor-
age for later consumption is withheld
from the present speculative mar
ket."
And Storage
Mr.. Rogan states that storage ia
cilities must be maintained whereby
the farmer is properly financed and
more stable prices for his cheese are
established This is the fundamental
principle upon which the Wisconsin
Cheese Producers Federation is or
ganized and operated, and it has prov
en- through practically seven years of
experience that it is able to be of as
sistance to the farmers in marketing
one of the most important farm pro-
ducts. Such organization, he claims,
is the remedy for the high cost of

NEW YORK. March 31.-Consoii- dation of the countrys railroads into a limited number of larger systems was advocated by Daniel Willard. president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and Edgar E. Clark, chair man of the interstate commerce com mission. at a dinner of the Railway Business association tonight. The work Of the railroad war board be- fore the roads were taken over by the government showed the success of that plan under private owner ship, Mir. Willard declared. The board increased railroad traffic by l2T,00o.- 100000 ton miles over the traffic carried two years previous. he added.
 The new plan contemplates con- solidafion of the roads into a limited number of large systems under which every reasonable degree Of competi- ton win be preserved" said Mir. Clark. Competition in rates Is but a figure of speech. The only real competition is that of service" Both speakers agreed that criticism of the transportation act became too general and too little understanding or cooperation with the acts aims has been offered.
 I The fact that from rates fixed iu accordance with the provisions of tho | act the net earnings Of the carriers are disappointing. is not due 10 ans 1 fault or failure Of the act" Mr- Will i lard said. The condition Is due 1 largely to the decline in volume o' business and excessive cost of opera | tons.
