EVERY DAIRY FARMER INVITED
Orleans District Meeting of N. E. M.
p. A. to be held in Newport
November %


Every dairy farmer in this sec
tion is invited to attend the Orleans
district meeting of the New England
Milk Producers Association to be held
Wednesday, November 22d, at 1.3O
p. m. in Newport, School hall. The
district secretary, u A. Harris, of
Newport, was present at the special
meeting of the New England Milk
Producers Association, November g.
and report will be given at the meet
ing on the New England wide mar
keting plan which is now about to
take the next step. Fred C. Warner,
district manager, will also be pres
ent to explain the workings of the
new plan and it's relation to the New
England Milk Producers Association.
This is a highly important meeting
and it is the business of every dairy
farmer to be present and get the first
hand information about the plar
which it is expected will in few
years, give the dairy farmers of
New England complete control of
their business.
The report of the special committee
on the marketing plan differed ma
terially from what was generally ex-
pected, but met with complete salts
presidents. The plan which was
recommended was the bringing to-
gether of the existing cooperative
agencies for handling milk as the
first step in the consolidation of the
producers interests throughout New
England Farmers who now sell
through cooperative organizations
are competing with one another in the
market. If they can be brought to
gether they will form the largest sin
gle dealer in milk in New England
and the disastrous effects of competi-
ton among themselves will be elm
mated. The committee recommends
this simply as a first step and it is
the general expectation that this
combined cooperation will be so sue
cessful and will return to the farmers
enough more than they are now get
ting for milk so that other farmers
will desire to come in. 1t is prophe-
sled by men who are familiar with
the situation. that in the course of a
very few years. the great ma jority of
the milk producers of New England
will be drawn into this great coop
erative enterprise.
The New England Milk Producers
association will not have any direct
connection with this amalgamation of
the cooperative organizations but
will lend all it's resources to bring
about the desired end. 1t is expect
ed that for a number of years at
least, there will still be need OF the
New England Milk Producers asso-
citation to serve as a stabilizer in the
market and ensure a square deal for
both producers and dealers. It is the
intention of the n. E. NJ. P. A. to get
the fundamental principle of the new
marketing plan before its members at
the earliest possible moment, this is
in the district meeting with two
speakers at least who are thoroughly
familiar with the subject. 1t will be
presented in way which will give
the farmers the fullest possible
chance to understand it.
All farmers are invited to this
meeting, although the voting power
will be confined to delegates from the
locals in the towns which are included
in this district The locals in the dis
trict are as follows: Albany, Barton,
