League Price for May $2.33 
Farm News from Albany—Eastern ^Staters Meet 
T he Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association, Inc. has voted the fol¬ 
lowing prices for the month of May: 
Class 1, for fluid consumption, $2.33. 
Class 2, for cream and ice cream, 
$2.05. 
Class 3, for milk used chiefly in the 
manufacture of evaporated, condensed 
and powdered milk and hard cheese, a 
differential of 59 cents above the price 
of milk going into the manufacture of 
butter, the same as for April. 
Class 4, for milk used in the manu¬ 
facture of butter and cheese, will be 
determined by the New York market 
quotations on these commodities. 
The April price for Class 1 was 
$2.80; for Class 2, $2.50. The direc¬ 
tors decided upon the decrease for two 
reasons—^the increased seasonal flow 
and competitive conditions in the New 
York market. 
FARM NEWS FROM ALBANY 
The Legislature will adjourn May 4. 
sk * ♦ 
A bill is before the Legislature to 
amend the Membership Corporations 
Law to provide that cooperative asso¬ 
ciations may become members or stock¬ 
holders in any other cooperative asso¬ 
ciation whether organized under the 
Membership Corporations Law or un¬ 
der the cooperative law known as 
Article 13-A. This bill also provides 
for making contracts with producers 
for a five-year period with option for 
renewal for like periods by mutual 
agreement between the parties. 
It provides, furthermore, for filling 
vacancies by the Board of Directors 
until the next regular meeting. It 
gives greater powers to the organiza¬ 
tions now existing under our present 
cooperative laws and allows the tying 
of the members in so that the organi¬ 
zation will have a longer period to get 
well established in business. On the 
other hand, if the organization was not 
properly managed the bill would make 
it more difficult for the members to 
change their directors and officers, and 
more difficult for them to withdraw. 
4: ♦ * 
Another very important bill affect¬ 
ing the cooperative law provides for 
the issuing of bonds or preferred stock 
where new or additional capital is re- 
qhired, paying a rate of interest not 
exceeding 8 per cent. This would allow 
the establishment of some cooperative 
enterprises without the investment of 
so much capital by the farmers them¬ 
selves. On the other hand, it might 
give outsiders who made the invest¬ 
ments opportunities for getting the 
control of the cooperative away from 
the farmers themselves. 
This bill also provides that the an¬ 
nual report made by the auditor of the 
association shall be filed with the De¬ 
partment of Farms and Markets, as it 
now is, but in such a way that the re¬ 
port cannot be identified as having 
been furnished by the association. 
These annual reports now are public 
property. This provision would keep 
business information from competitors, 
but would also make it more difficult to 
obtain accurate information as to the 
finances of any cooperative. 
sk 4> ^ 
A bill providing for the joint admin¬ 
istration of the Cornell Agricultural 
College and the Geneva Experiment 
Station has passed the Assembly and 
is now pending in the Senate Commit¬ 
tee. The only opposition to this bill 
comes from the city of Geneva, which 
fears that some of the activities of the 
station might be removed from Geneva 
to Ithaca. The consolidation has the 
approval of Dean A. R. Mann of the 
College of Agriculture, and Dr. Roscoe 
Thatcher, director of the Experiment 
Station, and the trustees of both insti¬ 
tutions. 
jH * * 
A third bill bearing on indemnities 
for slaughtered tubercular cattle has 
passed both Houses, and is before the 
Governor for his signature. This bill 
provides funds for payment of slaugh¬ 
tered cattle during the fiscal year 1923 
to 1924. It is expected that the three 
bills, the first two of which have been 
previously reported, will pay for in¬ 
demnities for slaughtered cattle until 
June, 1924.

A movement is on foot to try to 
arrange for a demonstration with a 
large load of apples to be brought 
through the Barge Canal to New York 
City with the idea of showing the value 
of the Barge Canal for such purposes. 
It is hoped by holding such a demon¬ 
stration to interest Governor Smith 
sufficiently to get his backing for the 
$30,000 appropriation for the big Fruit 
Show planned for New York next fall. 
4: 4: 4: 
The Esniiond Bill, which seeks to 
amend the Highway Law so as to pro¬ 
vide state aid to counties for snow re¬ 
moval on highways, was reduced to 
third reading in the Senate. It has 
already been passed by the Assembly.' 
4c 4: 4= 
The Assembly has passed one of 
Governor Smith’s reconstruction bills 
proposing the constitutional amend¬ 
ment to consolidate 180 State depart¬ 
ments and bureaus into 20 major de¬ 
partments and reducing the number of 
elective State officers from seven to 
four. As this bill is recommended by 
the Govei’nor, it is now certain to be¬ 
come a law, so that the proposed 
amendment will be submitted to the 
people of the State.— By Our Special 
Correspondent.

The Decline of Agriculture 
and a Remedy 
{Continued from page 377) 
simply one created by the war, but is a 
continuing peace problem and that only 
by the success of these cooperative mar¬ 
keting organizations can the decline in 
agriculture be checked. Farmers will 
w'elcome the cooperation of city con¬ 
sumers and urge that they acquaint 
themselves with that which the farrners 
are trying to do. These organizations 
are constructive—not destructive. They 
are not tearing down, but building. 
They are created for self-help and for 
mutual help, thus stimulating the in¬ 
itiative of their members, while the 
increased returns to farmers will stimu¬ 
late production and the enlarged vol¬ 
ume of their products entering the 
arteries of commerce will enrich the 
lifeblood of the nation, may long post¬ 
pone the day when this country shall 
cease to be self-sustaining, and, by en¬ 
larging the buying power of forty mil¬ 
lion people, bring increased prosperity 
to all industries.
