A meeting of the farmers in this
section was held Wednesday night of
last week at Ollie L. Carey's store,
Nassau, to meet the representatives of
the Supplee-WillS-JOne Company of
Philadelphia who built the new milk
station at Nassau and two represen-
tatives of the Interstate Milk Produc-
} ers' Association, to discuss the ques-
ton as to keep the milk station in Op-
Grafton or to close it. Since the station
was opened about two weeks ago,
only a very few of the farmers have
been taking their milk there as a re-
suit only about nine cans are shipped
daily from the station, which means
that the milk station is operating at a
heavy loss as well as the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company which claims
that they will not keep the special
car running out of Nassau for that
small amount. The Interstate Milk
Producers Association representatives

their hands in getting the railroad |
company to put the car on, assuring
them that the quantity of milk would |
take care of itself, but evidently it .
has not; now the milk association is |
trying its best to get the farmers in
this section to put their milk in the
plant and make the proposition sue
cess, which will ultimately be one Of
the best money making propositions
the farmer ever went into. 1t doesn't
mean income for stipulated season
but a monthly income every month in
the year, and at the present price paid
for the milk which is at low ebb at
this time is considerable more than
the farmer can get out of it if he was
to turn it into butter. Quite a little
enthusiasm was aroused by reason of
the meeting. It developed that the far
mers had not responded for two rea-
sons, first because many of them at
this time had small calves which were
consuming a goodly part of their milk
and they didn't feel that they had
enough milk to spare to pay them for
their trouble in taking it to the milk
station; others who had possibly only
two COWS at this time, were not TAX
ing theirs because the quantity was
so small. This objection is to be met
in this manner, a hauler or some two
or three haulers will be established
to haul the milk from the farmers in
to the milk station for a very small
charge and in this way all the farmer '
need to do is milk his COWS as he US
ually does and take the milk to the
roadside. This objection has always I
showed its head in every community,
both the Interstate Milk Producers
Association and the Supplee-Wills-
Jones representatives said.
