League con- tract and an Interpretation thereof an writer who by his not a member of the Now we can guess whose in- this writer But thinks to frighten the farmer into believing ization composed of his brother ers and dairymen and affiliated with leading farmers and dairymen of five states can be detrimental to his e The leading farmers and dairymen well read and posted and capable of thinking for selves and results certainly show that they are satisfied with the League and its In every place where a League meeting has been called this contract has been read to the farmers and explained to satisfaction before being asked to sigh it. Let us take contract and interpret It from a League member's standpoint and pre- sent the facts as see much as this question is of vital im- portance to the farmers of county and Paragraph one of- this contract we interpret as meaning that each er shall join the League by paying twenty-five cents per for the en- tire number of cows that he In paragraph two the farmer signs to League all the milk upon his except such milk as is required for farm or local Now local con- sumption can mean a variety of such as for family ing young veal or making etc. This interpreter other our tion of this is that the farmer is en- tirely in the hands of the League and has nothing to say about where his milk is being brother Have you anything to say at the present time about where your milk is being sold Or have you anything to say about what the price shall be per hundred In the opinion of the writer it looks as though the farmer was in the hands of the milk corporations in- stead of the where he should be for mutual In this same paragraph you will notice that the farmer contracts his milk for a period a thirty notice is given ing by either party before the ation of any Mr. don't get frightened with this short six with the privilege of getting out In thirty Be sorry for your neighbor who has signed up a con- tract for one and does he have thirty that the farmer agrees to his milk pure and unadulterated in con- dition for sale suitable in the New York or adjacent Our wise are informed that in order to meet New York re- milk must pass a certain germ barns must be washed and examined by a veterinary at certain I really wonder if this interpreter knows that some of the farmers of Tioga county have been making pure and milk for New York and adjacent markets for some time and that we have any number of barns and these same barns have been Inspected by competent milk inspectors from the In paragraph three the party of the first part agrees to sell and dispose of the said milk to the best advantage and to remit the thereof to the party the ond less the commission The League does to handle this milk or ex- act a of. one cent per hundred unless there is a milk The League as an has members and 500 local organizations in three counties of York New cut and The mere fact that a high price IB offered by dealers at this tiine should not make dairymen feel that there is no need of organization and If the dairymen are thoroughly they will be prepared to present a solid front if attempt is made force down the price after this agitation cools Mr. Is your en opportunity to strike a blow that will Get in Jouch with nearest local organization and ask the secretary for a League contract and affix your brother farmer and I suppose we ought to extend a vote of thanks to our unknown who so kindly comes forward and interprets League contract for us poor But what the writer Is where was this Interpreter when the James Lock and 'the Griffin Mining hit Wellsboro and is always ing the joy out of A.
