 every other to sell "A" milk, whether there is demand for it or 

 not. It is not reasonable to suppose that demand and supply 

 of different grades will check up evenly. I seem to see tempta- 

 tion in the plan. I think milk dealers might solemnly and ap- 

 propriately voice those well-known words, " Lead us not into 

 temptation." Every one knows how badly temptation worked 

 out in the fruit business, and I doubt whether milk dealers are 

 any more immune. If our progenitors had gotten into the milk 

 business ahead of the apple business the downfall of our race 

 might have been ascribed to a different cause. 



Afternoon Session. 



At the afternoon session the first speaker was Mr. O. M. 

 Taylor of Geneva, New York, who spoke before the Massa- 

 chusetts Fruit Growers' Association on small fruits. This was 

 followed by the Board's conference on organization and market- 

 ing, with Secretary Wheeler and Mr. Edward B. Wilder of 

 Dorchester in the chair. The first speaker was Mr. Marcus L. 

 Urann, President of the United Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' 

 Association, who spoke on "Business Organization as related to 

 Agriculture."
