ALL Farmers
ARE INVITED
DISTRICT MEETING
TO BE HELD IN
LANCASTER, N. H.

Every dairy farmer in this
section is invited to attend the
Coos District meeting of the
New England Milk Producers
Association to be held Saturday
November 25th at 100 P. M.
in Lancaster, G.. A. R. Hall.
The District President, R. Wat
son Taylor of North Stratford,
IN. H. was present at the spe-
cial meeting of the New Eng
land Milk Producers Associa-
ton, November 9Th and will re-
port at the District meeting on
the New England wide market
ing plan which is now about to
take the next step. Fred c..
Warner, District Manager,
will also be present to explain
the workings of the new plan
and it's relation to the New
England Milk Producers Asso-
citation. This is a highly impor-
tant meeting and it is the busi-
ness of every dairy farmer to be
present and get the first hand
information about the plan
which it is expected will in a
few years, give the dairy far
mers of New England complete
control of their business.
The report of the Special
Committee on the Marketing
Plan differed materially from
what was generally expected,
but met with complete salts
faction on the part of the Dis
trict Presidents. The plan
which was recommended was
the bringing together of the ex-
listing cooperative agencies for
handling milk as the first step
in the consolidation of the pro-
ducers' interests throughout
New England. Farmers who
now sell through cooperative
organizations are competing
with one another in the market.
If they can be brought together
they will form the largest sim
gle dealer in milk in New Eng
land and the disastrous effects
of competition among them
selves will be eliminated. The
Committee recommends this
simply as a first step and it is
the general expectation that
this combined cooperation
! will be so successful and will
return to the farmers enough
more than they are now getting
for milk so that other farmers
will desire to come in. It is
prophesied by men who are ia.
miliar with the situation that ir
the course of a very few years
the great majority Of the milk
producers of New England viii
be drawn into this great coo.
/ perative enterprise.
The New England Milk Pro
ducers' Association will not
have any direct connection
with this amalgamation of the
cooperative organizations bur
! will lend all it's resources t
bring about the desired end. L
is expected that for a number
of years at least there will still
be need of the New England
Milk Producers Association tt
serve as a stabilizer in the mar
ket and insure a square dea
for both producers and dealers
1t is the intention of the N. E
M. P. A. to get the fundamen
tai principle of the new marke
ing plan before it's members a
the earliest possible moment
this is in the District meetin.

mers the fullest possibl
