however, advocated -the farmer owned 
plants, each station selling independently 
of the others, although having a means of 
knowing the sale prices secured by other 
stations through a central agency some¬ 
what similar to the milk conference board. 
Mr. Chas. H. Tuck and Mr. T. E. 
Milliman presented the Dairymen’s 
League program, which is entirely fa¬ 
miliar, advocating the sale of fluid milk 
on the New York City market, supplying 
only that amount that is necessary; 
manufacture the surplus into advertised 
standardized branded goods of quality. 
Thus being in position to meet world¬ 
wide competition with the manufactured 
products and at the same time securing a 
maximum price for fluid milk. 
The meetings brought out very clearly 
the demand of farmers for the cessation 
of the present fluid milk price cutting and 
the working out of some united program 
that will return more actual dollars and 
cents to the producer. 
The following resolution very clearly 
indicates the trend of thought of those 
present at the conferences. 
That the present fluid milk price is consider¬ 
able less than it should be and that it is the 
earnest hope of the dairymen of Herkimer 
County that the milk sales agencies get 
together and devise some way whereby the 
price of milk can be made adequate to the cost 
of production plus a fair profit.

League Withdrawals Light 
A CCORDING to the Dairymen’s 
League Cooperative _ Association, 
Inc., there were only 2,989 poolers who 
designated their desire to withdraw from 
the League this year. Their contracts w ill 
be cancelled on April 1. The total num¬ 
ber of cancellations, however, aggregate 
to 5,124. The difference between the 
total withdrawals and active poolers 
withdrawing represents producers who 
have sold their farms or have gone out 
of the dairy business. \\ ithdrawals in 
1923 were more than twice the number 
of total cancellations this year, number¬ 
ing in that year 10,708. 
During the past year nearly 4,000 new 
members joined the association, in other 
words, practically 1,000 more than the 
number of active participants who 
withdrew.

He thinks so much of it now, 
that he wrote me in all haste

him if I can only find him.
