MEETINGS OF NEW YORK MILK 
PRODUCERS. 
The meeting of Cobleskill Local Section 
No. 41, F. S. M. P. A., was held August 7. 
Officers chosen for the ensuing year are: 
President, Sothencse Lawyer; secretary 
and treasurer, Warner J. Walker. 
w. J. w. 
At the annual meeting of the Big Flats 
section of the F. S. M. P. A., J. E. Farr 
was elected president, H. M. Fox, secre¬ 
tary and treasurer, for the ensuing year, 
and Judson Goff delegate to the route 
union. Members expressed themselves in 
favor of maintaining and perfecting the 
organization, and were satisffed they had 
already derived much benefit from it. 
H. M. FOX, Secretary. 
A few of the members of the Wysox local 
F. S. M. P. A. met at Grange Hnll August 
5. Louis Piollet was chosen as delegate 
to the route union meeting at Sayre, Au¬ 
gust 13, with Robert Brown as alternate. 
Collection of dues and election of officers 
was postponed as there were so few out. 
Though not instructed, our delegate will 
oppose the reelection of the old executive 
committee. Most of our members have no 
confidence in them, and will not work 
under them. e. g. owen. Secretary. 
The Deposit .section of the F. S. M. P. A. 
held its annual meeting August 6, and 
elected the following oflicers; I^rcsident, 
E. S. Smith; secretary, S. C. Sliter; treas¬ 
urer, E. C. Briggs. Executive committee: 
D. W. Axtell, D. C. Freeman, S. H. Axtell. 
As delegates to the route union, S. C. Sliter 
and D. W. Axtell. The meeting was not 
largely attended, but those present were 
quite enthusiastic over the plan of co¬ 
operative creameries. A committee was 
appointed to investigate the situation and 
report. reporter. 
The annual meeting of the Holland Pat¬ 
ent Tvocal Section, F. S. M. P. A., was 
called to order by President F. H. Thom¬ 
son. who made a fine address on opening. 
A large number were present and enthu¬ 
siasm was shown throughout, many dis¬ 
cussing the milk problem, and everyone 
agreed to stand by the officers of the F. S. 
M. P. A. The farmers in this locality 
stand shoulder to shoulder on this ques¬ 
tion and will fight to the end. The result 
of election of officers was as follows: Pres¬ 
ident, F. H. Thomson: secretary, Frank 
Fear; treasurer, S. F. Kane. Route union 
delegate, F. H. Thomson. Executive com¬ 
mittee: I'’’. H. Thomson, Frank Fear, C. E. 
Alvord, George Chassell, A. Holland. 
Finance committee: C. F. Hamlin, George 
Hutchinson, J. B. Fuller. 
FRANK FEAR, Secretary. 
The annual meeting of Marshall Station 
Union, F. S. M. P. A., met at the residence 
of R. W. Evans, August 7. A full attend¬ 
ance was secured. A more earnest or bet¬ 
ter attended meeting has not been wit¬ 
nessed since our organization. If the milk 
producers of all local unions could but be 
convinced of the necessity of thorough or¬ 
ganization and a strong, united effort on 
our part to support the officers of the cen¬ 
tral association, they would bo more suc¬ 
cessful. Milk producers through the central 
association are not fighting for an advance 
over the yearly average of 1900 of 2.084 cents 
per quart. Two and a half cents as a 
yearly average to the producer net, need 
not of necessity advance the price of milk 
to the consumer in New York. This Is all 
the central association is contending for. 
This small advance would mean some profit 
and not loss to the producer. After the 
election of R. W. Evans for president and 
J. E. Head as secretary and treasurer for 
the coming year the following resolutions 
w'ere passed: That the patrons of Marshall 
Station, as members of the F. S. M. P. A., 
appoint a committee of one to confer with 
all producers not present at this meeting, 
and ask them to join in taking care of, or 
withholding milk should the central asso¬ 
ciation so order. That a committee of two 
be appointed to confer with the patrons of 
the milk station at Green’s Crossing, to 
ask them to join in opening the cheese fac¬ 
tory at Tompkin’s Crossing, or otherwise 
to take care of the milk, and not sell the 
same to be shipped to New York dealers, 
should w'e be asked by the central associa¬ 
tion to withhold the same. In view of the 
fact that all feed stuffs the coming Winter 
will doubtless be from $20 to $25 per ton, 
the central association was asked to fix a 
price for milk that shall not be less than 
2% cents per quart as a yearly average. 
The resolutions were unanimously adoptecl. 
J. E. Head was chosen as a delegate to the 
route union to be held at Binghamton, Au¬ 
gust 13. J. E. HEAD, Secretary.
