markets of this State, and as a result 
about 11.000 poolers tvithdrew from the 
League. The withdrawals showed that 
where the producer could get in contact 
with a cheese factory market he with- 
drew, and the Dairymen’’s League News, 
as the mouthpiece of the League Associa¬ 
tion, commented upon this fact, unwit¬ 
tingly clinching the argument in favor of 
the cheese factory market. 
There has been much unreliable propa¬ 
ganda the past year in faY 7 or of the 
League Association, which facts and in¬ 
formation from outside sources would 
brand as wholly untrue. With a view of 
obtaining reliable information to com¬ 
pare Yvith League prices for its third 
year, I have written and obtained the 
facts from the following sources: New 
England Milk Producers’ Association, 
Boston, Mass.; the Twin City Milk Pro¬ 
ducers’ Association, St. Paul, Minn.; the 
Milwaukee Co-operative Milk Producers’ 
Association, Milwaukee, Wis., all of 
which are producers’ pooling associations, 
as well as obtaining prices from the Phil¬ 
adelphia Milk Conference Board (an or¬ 
ganization similar to the Dairymen’s 
League, Inc.), also from local plants and 
St. Lawrence County cheese factories, as 
indicated in the table of prices on page 
209. The prices quoted are for 3 per cent 
milk, April to November, 1923, and do 
not include any premiums for low bac¬ 
teria count. The New England price is 
for 201 to 220-mile zone. The Western 
city is for delivery to dealer; the radius 
of production being short, most milk is 
delivered by the producer. All co-opera- 
ti\ T es have non-poolers in their territory. 
The information further shows the New 
England Milk Producers’ Association pro¬ 
ducers paid their organization for ser¬ 
vices one-half of 1 per cent, about 2c per 
CYvt. The Milwaukee producers paid 3c 
per cwt.; the Twin City producers paid 
3 to 4c, while the League Co-operative 
Association producers paid from 7)4 to 
10c per cwt. Milk sold retail, house de¬ 
livery, in Boston, 13)4 to 16c; Milwau- 
kee, 10 to 11c; Twin City, 11 to 12c, 
while in New York it sold at 15 to 18c. 
The Boston surplus averaged 44 per cent, 
the Twin City surplus averaged 35 per 
cent, the Milwaukee surplus averaged 21 
per cent. 
The League News statement shows that 
of all milk handled by the League for the 
past two or three months, 60 to 80 per 
cent sold in Classes 1 and 2, while the 
cash received by the producer is less than 
the Class 4 price of milk. In other words 
in the tvorking up in League plants this 
20 to 40 per cent surplus there is lost 
each month .$100,000 to $300,000, Yvliich 
in part accounts for pooler checks being 
for less than Class 4 price of milk. 
Consumers pay the same for pool as for 
non-pool milk. Producers outside the pool 
receive roughly 50c per CYvt. more than 
poolers. The outside groups have simple 
plans. Their leaders act without salaries. 
Their expense is lc per CYvt. The pool is 
highly centralized in complicated machin¬ 
ery of organization. It costs nearly 50c 
per CYvt. for expenses and deductions and 
losses in plants. The outside groups save 
50c per c-Yvt. and give it to their produc¬ 
ers. This 50c is taken out of the pool re¬ 
turns. Reducing the price will not 
change the effect. Those yvIio save are 
safer than those who Yvaste.

Apples for Pies 
The R. N.-Y. is a firm champion of 
the apple, especially baked ones, but I 
find the traveling public more interested 
in apple pies. I also find that varieties 
of first-class pie apples are very feYv. 
Among them all the Red Astrachan 
stands supreme. While only a fair apple 
to eat raYV, under proper seasoning and 
cooking, what a delightful flavor it de¬ 
velops! Yellow Transparent and Graven- 
stein are both very good, but after those, 
what a slump ! Baldwin, Greening, and 
all the rest, tame and flat, altogether 
lacking the rich and sprightly flavor of 
the Astrachan. Here is a big opportunity 
for some experimental groYver, to find a 
really fine Winter pie apple.

R. N.-Y.—Mi\ Olcott is an inn-keeper, 
and ought to know what the pie-eating 
pubile needs, but we have always thought 
R. I. Greening about the standard for pie 
fruit. Northern Spy tastes Yvell in be¬ 
tween good flaky crusts, but Greening is 
considered light for NeYv England.
