THE NEW ENGLAND MILK SITUATION. 
There is some difference of opinion as 
regards satisfaction of price paid for 
milk the past Winter. Some are satisfied 
it was as good on the average as we 
could expect under present conditions; 
that is, general conditions,all over field 
among the consumers, railroad transpor¬ 
tation. and among the producer. The or¬ 
ganization question, while moving at a 
good pace along satisfactory lines, has 
not yet reached that point where it could 
carry on a strong campaign of aggression 
to force the buyer to pay all we think is 
our due, or rather to make the produc¬ 
tion of this necessary product as profit¬ 
able as some other lines in our business. 
The New Hampshire producers as a 
general rule have a fairly well satisfied 
feeling, to a greater extent than Massa- 
chusette dairymen. Under present condi¬ 
tion, and transportation charges that do 
not average up ns they should according 
to distance the product is hauled, the 
short distance shipper has to pay more, 
or as much as some of the long distance 
shippers who are of course out of State, 
and thus we help support the others with 
something that should go into our own 
pocket. It is perhaps a hard matter to 
adjust the charges to fit all cases, yet 
there is much room for improvement, 
and to go at the matter in a bull¬ 
headed way sometimes results in rais¬ 
ing charges to a higher level all along 
the line, without proper adjustment in ex¬ 
treme and unfair cases. It is much better 
to arbitrate this matter in a friendly way 
if possible and when not possible get a 
straight show of force behind you and 
with proper arrangement, this can be ob¬ 
tained. 
The directors of the N. E. M. I*. A. 
have been careful in not asking a prohi¬ 
bitive price for Summer milk to give the 
contractors no chance to put up a big 
howl as to how conditions will not stand 
it, etc., but have asked an advance of 
about two cents per can over last year’s 
Summer prices. There is a strong feel¬ 
ing for having the price made yearly in¬ 
stead of every six months, and many 
wore in favor of adopting this course at 
this price-making time. The way has 
been opened for this, or rather a start 
has been made by some small buyers 
both in Boston and outside, making this 
agreement last Fall. It is only a ques¬ 
tion of time when this method must be 
accepted by all, but of course the big fel¬ 
lows will put many obstacles and ob¬ 
jections in the way, and hold the matter 
off as long as possible. 
It is understood that some of the con¬ 
tractors have admitted that the price 
asked for the Summer is reasonable and 
think it should be paid. The producers 
have put a strong card forward in asking 
that in case of failure to agreement be¬ 
tween buyers and producers the matter 
of price be left to the Boston Chamber 
of Commerce, their decision to be final. 
The hold-out contractors may not agree 
to this plan, because they know the pro¬ 
ducer has the sympathy and good will of 
this body, who have for some time had 
their committee on agriculture at work 
on the question pertaining to milk trans¬ 
portation and other matters of interest to 
producers in general The contractors 
also know, while they would get a square 
deal at their hands they would get no 
favors and these are what they often 
manage to work in somewhere while the 
other fellow is not looking. General con¬ 
ditions existing in the cities do not look 
favorable for a greater demand or con¬ 
sumption of milk at present, or in the 
near future, and we think for this reason 
and also the fact that a plentiful supply 
is being received and some going into 
butter, which is lower than for some time 
past, that a settlement on the terms 
asked for Summer milk should be satis¬ 
factory to a large majority of producers. 
There are of course always some who 
would want more, and demand more than 
it would be possible for the contractor to 
pay and conduct a profitable business or 
make a profit. The contractor has his 
troubles, and they are many and not the 
least of these is bad debts, yet he must 
pay for the milk received from producers, 
and in most cases is perfectly able and 
willing to do so. We must appreciate 
the fact, however, he has his rights as 
we have ours and be willing to work with 
him whenever possible, and adjust all 
the problems between us in a fair and 
satisfactory manner to both. Many 
times in the past some of the contractors 
have not shown a spirit of this kind we 
must admit, but they know in most cases 
that the time has gone by to a large ex¬ 
tent for that attitude, and that it will 
be the best policy for them to try to be 
more fair in their offers and dealings 
with us. This has not been brought 
about through love altogether, but be¬ 
cause it is and will be a much better 
policy, as the producer is gaining friends 
in the consumers’ ranks and should a 
thorough understanding be obtained and 
practiced between the sensible consumer 
and the reasonable producer the contrac¬ 
tor would be left out in the cold, or 
forced to be a servant to these, instead 
of boss of both. a. E. p.

During March farmers could not get 
into the woods much on account of the 
deep snow. Schools had to close in rural 
districts for several days or weeks. 
Roads were quite impassable for a time. 
While the sleighing lasted, farmers 
hauled feed, fertilizer, lime, potatoes, 
hay, etc., making good use of the sleigh¬ 
ing. Washington potatoes for seed have 
been 70 cents, eating potatoes 60: eggs 
20; butter 27 at local markets. Dairy¬

Large sums are put into land, buildings, 
horses, machinery and labor in order to main¬ 
tain cows that are utterly unable to return a 
profit. 
On a dairy farm the efficiency of the herd 
should be the first consideration. With good 
purebred Holsteins you are sure to earn a 
generous profit on any intelligent investment 
of your money, time and labor. 
After the cost of her feed is deducted a good 
Holstein will return a profit of $60 to $100 per 
year in addition to a valuable calf.
