DAIRYMEN CALLED
 INTO CONFERENCE
Milk Control Boards of Six New England States
 Meet Tomorrow

Windsor, Vt. April TIA meeting of unusual interest to dairymen in New England has been announced by J. c. Thompson. executive secre- tary of the Agricultural Council of New England, from his headquarters here. Officials of each of the six New England milk control boards have been invited to meet with the coordinating committee in the dairy division of the Agricultural Council, to work out a united front in the interest of all milk producers in I this area. The meeting Is scheduled for tomorrow morning. April 8, in the Hotel Manager. Boston.
 The dairy division of the Agricul- tural Council includes many of the farmer owned and farmer con- trolled cooperative associations oi New England. and makes up the strongest section of this overall council of farm cooperatives. The dairy division has gone on record as favoring higher prices for all dairymen because of continuous uIl- satisfactory conditions in the mar kets, and it is hoped that this meet ing will develop a united program for all New England. Dairymen cannot continue to produce milk at ever increasing costs of labor and feed without receiving fair return. Farmers have accepted the chal- lenge to produce every possible quart of milk this year as their big job in the war effort, but they are erl- titled to fair play and an even break.
 MT. Thompson also reports that the Agricultural Council is sup porting the bill nov before the Na- tional Congress known as the Pace bill, and is urging all farmers in New England to contact their local members of Congress for endorse ment of this legislation. This bill is designed to include the cost of all farm labor in determining the parity price of agricultural corl- codities, and will place the farmer on a closer par with those who sell him the commodities to produce food. The inclusion of the cost ot farm labor in the parity formula will be a step in the right direc- ton, and while 1t will not solve the farmers problem entirely. will en- courage him to keep going this year rather than give up, sell his herd and 90 into higher paying jobs m industry.
