of five New England states, 20,800 of

land Milk Producers* association. The

member has signed an agreement to
make the milk committe. of the asso-
ciation his agent in selling all the milk
he produces. For this service the asso-
ciation rece|ves one-halfof one per
cent of the proceeds. "
The producers of the Philadelphla
territory have been organized for some
years, but up until 191G they drifted
along unable to better their condition.
A crisis in the milk situation that year
resulted In the reorganization of the
Inter-State Milk Producers’ associa-
tion. Then began the present era of
collective bargaining. The association
is purely n selling agent. It hasn't a
dollar Invested In plants. It handles
no milk. It is simply the representa-
tive of 17,000 dairy farmers in Penn-
sylvania, Delaware: New Jersey and
Maryland to bargain with the dealers
of the Philadelphia territory In arriv-
ing nt n fair milk price; For these
services the dairymen pay a commis-
sion of one cen for each 100 pounds
of milk delivered.
In this territory a seasonal, surplus
plan is being used. Producers receive
the regular milk price only for their
"basis production.” The amount de-
livered by a producer in October, No-
vember and December Is his basis pro-
duct ion. If he delivers more in any
other month than In the average of
the three named the excess is paid for
only at a little above butterfat value.
In May.- June or July a producer may
deliver 110 per cent of the basis
amount at the full price.
Pittsburgh dairymen have a dupli-
cate of the Philadelphia plan. Balti-
more, Washington, Cleveland, Cincin-
nati and ST. Louis have for several
years been operating on a bargaining
basis, but they are now coming by
one route or another to the Chicago
or New York ideas.

Three hours later the cans were un-
loaded at the Chicago freight depot
into the waiting trucks of the Milk
Producers’ Marketing company, and
hauled to the company's plant on
South Canal street. Here the milk was
tested and put through the processes
of\pasteurization. Thre hours later
t stood bottted and capped ready for
delivery to Chteago censumers. Only
ten hours before it was being strained
in a farm kitchen almost forty miles
""out of Chleago.
Six o'clock the next morning a
white truck stopped at the back en-
trance of a large Loop hotel. The white-
- ‘clad driver lifted ten cans out of the
wagon and carried them into the sup-
F ply kitchen. The next stop left five
cans-at the door of a nearby, fashion-
able French restaurant. The truck
belonged to the Chicago Milk Pro-
ducers' Marketing company. It was
, delivering the milk that John Martin
and his neighbors had hauled to their
local shipping station just 24 hours
earlier. It is very nearly "cow to
table” service.
•This type of city distribution of pro
ducers’ milk is a part of an enormous
marketing plan that the farmers them
selves are building up around every
great city. It is co-operative market-
ing on a scale so large that dairymen
of a half-century ago would have
mocked the suggestion.
The co-operative marketing of fluid
milk didn’t get its start until America
began to_build cities so big that there
wasn't a lot left on which to picket
the city cow. The cities grew too big
for cows, but not for milk. So the
farmers close into the towns raised
more cows and sold their surplus to
their city neighbors. The cities grew
still larger and the milking radius In-
creased accordingly. Farmers now
. lived too far out to make their own
deliveries. They shipped their milk
a in to the city denier who handled the
direct selling and delivering end of
the business.
Formed Associations.
The dealers formed associations to
set prices and the dairyman didn't
always get his just shnre of the con-
sumer’s dollar. Then the dairymen
joined forces and formed o-operative
- bargalning assoelations which yould
meet with the deniers and arbitrate
prices. Sometimes the dairymen or-
ganized co-operative sales agencies and
handled the selling end of thef own
. business. This all came about slowly
over a period of more than a hundred
years. By 1922 there were 174 co-
operative milk marketing assoclations
ranging nil the way from loose bnr-
gaining units to million-dollar dis-
tributing plants.
There is no one general plan for the
co-operative marketing of tluid milk.
The dairymen of every big district
have worked out their own individual
problems; they have made an Individ
na^ plan to fit their own ruse. In the
Chicago district a particularly unique
plan tins been put into operation; n
plan that could be used in any metro-
politan dairy district.
It must lie remembered that the
dairy co-operatives are of two distinct,
types--the dairymen of the metropoll-
tan districts. thatls the tluid milkmen
around our Inrge cities, and the dalryt
men of the strictly rural district in
. the remote dairy -distvict #uch manu-
factured product is fTected little, or
, not uzpvali hy fhe o iut. This -Is not
true in thedistriets arond large cities.
' Here four holts—fluid milk, butter,
condensed milk and cheese- are each
influenced by the market conditions
of the other.
It was to eliminate the evils of the
inter-beit mtiuence that the Chicugo
dairymen organized the Milk P'rodu
ers Marketing company under n-four.
pool contract. By this plan the fluid
milk mm pays « premium to the but-
ter mun in order to keep him off the

been signed under this plan, but the

keting enterprise in the world is the
Dairynien’s League Cooperative Asso-
cintion, Inc., of New York. In a way
it Is built on the same four zone basis

1, 2, 3 and 4. The entire district,

York and the northern part of New

is ancluded in the fluid milk pool.
