Ye and poultry and dairy products contributed $25,000,000 to the total. 4 Three paramount and immediate goals are listed by Lincoln as the ends for which farmers must strive in the new year. These are: (1) stronger farm organization, (2) sympathetic co-operation between farm groups and other organized low-income groups, and (3) develop- ment of greater economic power by these groups to achieve the con- present complex system of society,” Said the farm bureau leader. “And the cost of organization is never as meeting-ground with the laboring people, for they constitute, with farmers, the great group of folks | who have too low incomes. As farmers we haye a similar problem with the laboring people, and some- how we must find ways and means of working with them.” “Farmers will never secure econ- omic justice by legislative measures alone,” Lincoln continued, discuss- ing the third objective. “We must have strong organization, and economic action by that organiza- tion; personally, I believe these two things will be many times more effective than the legislative action. mine what our social development shall be.” ON THE FARM FRONT Independents - Responsible Co-operative Efforts Blocked By Opposition Of Several Dairies To Scheme.

Macken agrees with figures sup- plied in recent issues of the PA regarding the excessive number of dairies and producer-vendors hand- ling milk but challenges the figure of $1.20 stated by the PA to be the average price paid to farmers per 100 pounds of milk. He states: “The pooled or average price re- | ceived by the members of the Fraser Valley Milk Prducers’ As- sociation, from which company we purchase our milk supply, has been $1.53 for 10 cent milk, and to the average shipper the return runs around $1.75 per 100 pounds.” stressed the whole in the form of fluid milk, and that 70 percent has to be] manufactured, chiefly into butter. © Hits Independents Will Propose Commission Coldwell Raises Plight Ot Drought Area Farmers mons by M.
