A GROUP.OF DAIRYMEN AM) FAR
MERS DISCUSS LOCAL DAIRY
PROBLEMS. '
About thirty dairy farmers and milk
dealers mot in tho County Court room
Saturday afternoon and discussed the
milk situation as it is affected by tho
local conditions. Somo ot tho farmers
near hero have not found a ready
markot for their milk and they, are
complaining against tho Experiment
Station bringing tho surplus milk to
this city and supplying cortnln regular
customers, aunt. Snvdor was thoro
nnd'told those present that the Station 1
had r.tartud Moiling Its-surplus milk
here becauso there had been a milk
shortage anil it was not thought right
to wasto ciuautltloE of milk at tho
State Farm when people hero In North
Platto could not purchase what was
needed. 'lhls condition has prevailed
here at various times during tho past
fow years. None ot tho farmers want
ed to start new delivery systems over
tho rcsidonco portion of tho city and
It was suggested that somo central
station could bo equipped to handle
tho milk from tho farmers and this
central station could work put a sys
tem ot economical distribution which
would bo to the advantage of the pro
ducer and tho consumer nliko.
It was shown by reports from other
places that dairymen lit this Ideality
aro getting as much as, or in somo
cases a little more for their product
than in other places and that there
should be no complaint as to price.
It was also stated that tho Stato Farm
Is not cutting the prices or underbid
ding tho local dairymen. Howovor
somo maintained that Experimental
Station is a stato supported institu
tion and that it should not conio Into,
competition wmi tno local nirmers ana
dairymen. This matter Is being work
ed out by those interested and prom
ises an early. and satisfactory settle
ment. A commltteo consisting of Messers
Warron Doolittlo, Harry Williams
and Harry Huckfeldt was appointed,
to confer regarding tho possibilities
of stabilizing tho Industry by estab-
, llshlng a central dopot for dlstrlbu
, tion and If deemed advisable at any
time, to call another meeting of tho
' dairymen. Tho meeting adjourned
when someone said it was time to. get
to milking.
