to enaDie them to carry on their business 
economically. It is the proper ambition 
for each farmer-owned organization to 
secure a volume of business which will 
enable it to operate at a minimum cost 
and make possible a fair price to both 
producer and consumer. The consumer 
should always bear in mind that it is to 
the producer’s interest to market his 
product in a direct, orderly and regular 
manner and that to do so it must be 
priced to move the largest possible 
volume. 
lie has learned that the farmer-owned 
company will ultimately determine the 
scale of prices paid by competing dealers 
in the country. In the long run the 
competing dealer will not pay farmers 
more than the farmers who own and 
operate their country shipping stations 
are able to pay themselves. The in¬ 
dependent or unorganized farmer has as 
much at stake in the success or failure 
of the farmer-owned organizations as 
have their owners and patrons. There 
will be a growing recognition on the part 
of the unorganized farmer of his obliga¬ 
tions to and dependence on the farmer- 
owned milk company. 
Milk Business Highly Competitive 
The farmer has also learned from bitter 
experience that the milk business is 
highly competitive; that it is easy to 
make costly mistakes; that responsibility 
develops conservatism. He realizes the 
magnitude of the interests at stake and 
of the responsibilities which go with 
them. He wants nothing but a con¬ 
servative, constructive type of leader¬ 
ship. He hopes he will never be com¬ 
pelled to take over the entire process of 
distribution. The city wholesale and 
retail business he believes should remain 
in the hands of dealers who will recognize 
his right to organize and have a voice in 
determining the price of his milk. The 
farmer should own and control facilities 
enough to always assure him of access 
to his markets and the ability to secure 
a fair price in them. He wants nothing 
more than this and business prudence 
demands nothing less. 
“The Eastern States,” Organized 
One of the constructive marketing 
efforts to bring economic relief to the 
dairymen was made by a group of farmer- 
owned and operated creameries in the 
New Y ork Milk Zone, nearly three years 
ago, when they organized the EASTERN 
STATES MILK PRODUCERS, INC. 
These creameries, owning about twenty 
plants, which represent an investment of 
approximately a million and a half 
dollars, handle the milk of nearly three 
thousand farmers. They are located in 
the old, established, milk-shipping terri¬ 
tory and during the flush of the season 
receive approximately nine thousand cans 
of milk a day, an amount equivalent to 
9 per cent, of the Metropolitan District’s 
total requirements. These plants are all 
owned and operated by their farmer 
owners. They are equipped to ship 
pasteurized milk, to make cream, butter, 
cheese and condensed milk, and three 
of them distribute milk in the cities where 
located. The Eastern States do not 
control the operation of these plants, 
but serves them as a Conference Board 
or Trade Association. It keeps these 
different companies posted on general 
market conditions, assists them in the 
sale of their milk and affords them an 
opportunity to meet and discuss general 
matters affecting their branch of the 
milk business. 
How It Operates 
The Eastern States’ group of farmer- 
owned milk companies include those 
which have been in business longest— 
which have the oldest fund of accumu¬ 
lated experience and which have been 
able to survive in the Struggle for 
Existence. They are all shipping loose 
milk, that is milk in forty-quart cans, 
into New York City. This milk is re¬ 
ceived at the country plants before 9:00 
o’clock A. M., is pasteurized, cooled, 
placed in forty-quart cans and put on the

Keep Cows Comfortable- 
Increase Milk Flow 
Good dairymen realize that the capacity of a cow to produce 
milk is governed very largely by her state of health and 
condition of comfort. Many an apparently mediocre dairy cow 
has been revealed as a high producer by a change of owner* 
ship, presenting the cow with more comfortable conditions 
under which to work and make milk. 
From Ocean to Ocean and from Lakes to Gulf, thousands 
of practical dairymen are making extra milk profits from their 
cows, every year, as a result of installing Louden Steel Stalls 
and Stanchions. Their cows at the same time have a greater 
measure of protection against disease while much less time 
is required to take care of them. 
Get the Most Out of YOUR Cows 
Maximum comfort—“pasture comfort”—in the barn can 
be obtained only with Louden Steel Stalls and Stanchions. 
Louden Swinging Stanchion holds the cow in her place 
yet allows her to get up and lie down comfortably, without 
lunging and struggling, without jamming her knees or bruis¬ 
ing her shoulders. She can easily turn her head and card her¬ 
self or lie with her head comfortably at her side. And the 
Louden is the only stanchion permitting the use of the High 
Built-Up Manger Curb, which prevents cows from nosing 
feed back onto the stall floor and wasting it in the bedding 
—a saving that counts up to many dollars in a short time. 
Louden Stalls stand severe shocks and strains—do not get 
wobbly—outlast the barn. Made of Open-Hearth high carbon 
steel—strongest and best. Built with the famous Louden Inter¬ 
locking Dust-Proof Coupling—a thoroughly patented Louden feature— 
smooth on top with no open crack to catch and hold dirt or disease germs. 
Louden Steel Stalls and Stanchions were the first on the market and 
have been standard ever since. Selected by the U. S. 
Government. Write for illustrated printed matter and

CHEAP FEED 
from your own land 
T HE most economical cattle feed is that raised on your farm provicL 
ing you get good yields per acre. One ton of alfalfa or clover is worthi 
two tons of common hay as a milk producer. When preparing fields for 
grain, harrow in one to two tons per acre of SOLVAY and sow alfalfa or 
clover. The feed bills you save will pay for the SOLVAY many times over.
