Pratt told the court his clients were compelled to buy all their milk in New York state at prices fixed by the commissioner, at the same time competing with larger competitors who could buy at lower prices outside the state. He charged that as a re sult of this situation any attempt by the commissioner to enforce his price orders constituted discrimination against the small independents in fa vor of the larger producers who could purchase their supplies at lower pric es outside the state. A charge by Pratt that the dairy men were not given adequate hear ings by the commissioner before prices were set, was denied by Man- ley. The co-operative sought the tem porary Injunction pending final settle ment of constitutionality of the law. Pratt said if the court upheld his contention the price control features of the state law were unconstitution al, it “meant the end of milk con trol.” \The First Craimandmenf to be Presented in Unadilla $24,780 for WPA Adult Edubfion in Otsego County OBITUARY Mrs. Nancy West Meade.

Sexauer, president of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association, Inc., “read the record” of milk control before a Farm and Home Week audience at Cornell University today. By quota tions from Senator Perley A. Pitcher’s report on the dairy industry, control board officials and Governor Lehman he showed that the time is near when the dairy industry and farm organiza tions should take up the-i?robIem of planning a long time program for the industry. Reading from the Pitcher Commit tee’s report Mr. Sexauer showed that the legislators recognized two prob lems before the dairy industry.

In his talk Mr. Clemens stated that an ar rangement had recently been made, whereby Stanley and Felix Piseck of Herkimer; Attorney Edward Cooke of Buffalo and himself, had made an agreement to cooperate for the benefit of the independent milk producers of the state. All four of these men have been identified with the movements of various independent producers for several years and according to Mr. Clemens, under the present agreement they will represent more than half of the Independents. Mr. Tyson was chairman of the meeting and introduced the speaker, and after his address, brought up the proposition of a milk plant for Una dilla, which was ^discussed by local business men. But, due to the fact that several Dairymen’s League rep resentatives being present the farm ers did not enter into the discussion.

The laW continued into its third year. The authors of the report have been prais ed and condemned. The control law .has lost some of its popularity.

The Times—^Pour Months for 5()c which would yield farmers reasonable returns. I think we must look for ward to more and more reliance upon voluntary cooperation among farmers, and view propqsals for regimentation with skepticism.” William Duryee, secretary of the New Jersey Department of Agricul ture, was quoted thus: “Govefnment agencies inevitably come to the question, ‘Shall it be more regulation or less?’ If it is de cided that more regulation is neces sary and desirable we must prepare to accept complete regimentation of the dairy industry. Perhaps the logi cal outcome of more regulation is state or municipal distribution.” Farmers do not want to go back to the law of the jungle, said Mr. Sex auer, but “continfiation of the pres ent law on a permanent basis inevit ably leads to regimentation, produc tion control and consumer domina tion. Elimination of the law leads to distributor domination, or to milk be coming a jiublic utility. The problem is for the dairy industry and farm organizations to sfet up a plan and .fit it into legislation that will carry out the long time program so well out lined in the Pitcher report.” The Times—Four Months for 50c dilla.
