The Nassau Interstate Milk Produc-
ers' Association which represents
most of the leading farmers in this
section, organized with these officers:
President, William E. Thompson;
vice president, John W. Houston; sec
retary and treasurer, James W. Hop !
kins; vice president of Nassau COM
munity, Frederick C. Marshall; wee
president of Milton community, Wsr
H. Short; vice president OF Prime |
Hook community, M. S. Dodd, of Mil
ton: vice president of Coolspling COM |
munity, Edward T. Vaughan; vice |
president of Angola community, Ar
thur E. Walls. The cooling station is
to be constructed of brick and will be |
4Ox60 feet, located at Nassau. They |
hope to have it in readiness by Octo-
ber first. More than one hundred far
mers are members of the Association,
with an aggregation of about 475 COWS.
Owing to the fact that farmers in
Delaware, and especially in Sussex
county, have been up against 1t tof
the past three years, it is thought by
many business men that the milk
cooling station will be a wonderful
help to the farmers as it will bring IN
a regular cash income every month in
the year. Now many of the farmers do
not get to handle but very little mon
ey, except in the fall of the year. The
price that nearly everything the far
mer grows here is down low, except
early potatoes and nobody in this sec
ton raised more than enough for
their own use on account of the
draught in the spring. Wheat now is
bringing only 90c a bushel and after
the farmer pays his fertilizer and
threshing bills, he can't make cent
on wheat at that figure. Farmers who
have recently bought farms on heavy
are surely in hard luck; as
they are bothered to keep II eir inter-
est up and many of them c. IT do 1t.
