| fers its products in competition will
| the other factories. The result is tina
such method of marketing has ten
dency to invite price cutting, so thai
no one factory is assured of the per
| manency of its markets. This compe
tition in marketing can only be sue
cessfully met through equal quality OF
products and consolidation of the in
dNidual units into wei, organized
and well managed concern which will
operate on the markets as a CONNER
cial unit. A high standard of quality OF
products must be the foundation upon
which such a federation is built, and is
absolutely essential for success.
The dairy factories in order to pro.
tect themselves must change this exist
ing method of individual marketing "a
well planned, broad SYSTEM of CO.
operative marketing-a system with
wide expansive powers through which
the individual plants can consolidate
and thereby function as well organ
lied and efficient business concern. The
entire industry must be put on a com
mercial basis so that every dairy fac
tory will be commercially efficient.
Such system of centralized mar
keting calls for well established
country end under the supervision of
a general manager and a strong central
selling agency located in the markets
having control of the marketing of all
the products. This calls for adequate
financing and competent management.
That the proper development of a
sane, intelligent and orderly system is
needed for the dairy industry of Yer
mont is evidenced by the fact that one
group of cooperative factories, which
has been advocating such movement,
held a meeting of all the directors of
this group in Stowe on June 80. At this
meeting the possibilities and advan-
tages of state federation for central
lied marketing were openly and freely
discussed. As result of that meeting n
resolution was passed requesting the
presidents and managers, and any 9TH
or of the interested directors. Of all
the cooperative creamery associations
TO meet for the purpose of further dis
cussing such project and if possible
to draw up tentative plans for organi
cation.
MS StNbHu was bEiu III

were represented, which represents 90
per cent of the cooperative factories in
the state. Plans of organization, and
the possibilities of using the present
federation after changes in organiza
ton and operation are perfected, as
upon which the new central
federation will be built were
freely discussed. As result Of this
meeting committee of three directors
was appointed to study over plans of
all the cooperative factories which will
be held in Montpelier in the early part
IF August. 1t is hoped and expected |
hat at least one director and the man
lger from each cooperative factory will

led as to the time and place of this
'ery important meeting.
