number on the afternoons program
was splendid address by DR.. Clyde
l.. King, sometime Milk Arbitrator
for Philadelphia, entitled 'Nine
Years of Progress in the Milk Mar
ket of Philadelphia" We quote the
final paragraphs:
Such is the progress nine years
have brought through the capable
and determined leaders, aided by a
rank and file of farmers who every
year realize more and more that they
are in business as distinct from
merely ekeing out a living on some
old farm. The next few years can
bring even greater progress built
upon the broad shoulders OF those
who have thus achieved. Much has
been done. Much more remains to
be done.
The Philadelphia Cooperative
sales organization points the way
to the betterment of agriculture
throughout the United States. What
has been done for milk in this and
other territories can be done with
every product of the, farm. Through
enlightened cooperative self help
OF this kind lies the way to better
farm homes in this country"
The annual banquet in the eve
ming, attended by $50 delegates and
their friends. was voted to be, in
