20 MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 304 



8. The milk marketing set-up prevailing in Newburyport, where most of 

 the producers sell their milk to small dealers and distributors, largely their 

 neighbors, was found to be the most economical type of marketing machinery 

 for a secondary market. The advantages under this set-up are: (1) lower cost of 

 delivery to distributor; (2) better adjustment of production to eliminate seasonal 

 surplus; (3) higher prices received by producers. 



9. Inasmuch as, with the constantly increasing competition from outside 

 areas, the advantages in price received by milk producers supplying secondary 

 markets are rapidly disappearing, it is advisable for local producers to join the 

 producers' organizations to secure better bargaining power and establish uniform 

 price plans. 



10. The price plans adopted for secondary markets should be adequate for 

 local producers to secure for the communities the necessary supply of milk through- 

 out the vear.
