MAY
SELL w MILK
Talk Distributing Station In Springfield
Farmers May Take Over
Dealers Routes.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Feb. l8.-Gen-
eral dissatisfaction with their dealings
with Springfield milk distributors NAV
cause the Hampdcn, Worcester and
northern Connect acut county farmers to
take over the distribution of their own
product. A committee to inquire into
the feasibility of some such plan was
appointed Yesterday at a meeting of the
New ENGLAND Milk Producers a~ssocia-
ton at the Worthy hotel.
tainure OF the Springfield dealers to
promptly meet payments for milk de-
llvered and loss to the farmer through
full cans being turned back to him are
the main causes of the impending break.
1t IS stated, however, that many of the
dealers favor the GENERALIZATION of the
milk as being advantageous to them.
Il. ID. Lull of Worcester. district man
aser OF the association, Is authority for
a statement which saws that several of
the producers nave been approached by
certain Springfield dealers for the for
meT to take over the complete operation
of their business.
Under the proposed plan the farmers
would combine and forward all their
milk to one central station, located i'm
this city. From this station it would
be let out to the various local milk
dealers. In addition the station would
be prepared to distribute milk itself, in
combine and forward all their milk
dependent of any of the dealers.
Transportation charges would be
"~reatly lowered by this plan. it is be-
lieved. Heretofore unused milk. though
ordered by the dealers, has been turned
back to the farmers. This milk is of
little or no use. it being those farmers
who NAV own hogs or other livestock of
whose diet milk may be made a part,
