thinking seriously about the
school’s future. The biggest
question is money. “We’ve
been charging $4500 for a full
year’s tuition,” he said.
“That sounds like a lot, but it
includes 263 days out in the
field. It includes tran
sportation, food and other
living expenses. We’ve been
charging the same $4500 for
five years, and it’s not
enough anymore. I just don’t
know if we can raise our
rates to what they ought to
be and still get students.”
As the current students
finished their farm chores,
they drifted back to the bus,
discussing whether or not’
they should leave for the
Green Dragon. The matter
was debated at some length,
as are all group decisions.
Once the decision to leave
was made, though, die bus
was moving almost before
the door was closed.

Eastern Supports Ford’s
Anti-Inflation Measures
Eastern Milk Producers
Cooperative approved a
vigorous anti-inflation policy
by President Gerald R. Ford
and the U. S. Congress
during the fall meeting of its
200 delegates on October
15th, in Syracuse, N. Y.
However, the 8500 dairy
fanner member cooperative
opposed as unsound Ford’s
proposal for unlimited
domestic production of food.
James ' Broe from
Colliersville, N. Y., Chair
man of Eastern’s resolutions
committee, in presenting the
resolution, stated that such a
policy would lead to un
wieldly surpluses with
resultant widespread
financial catastrophe and
inevitable bankruptcy for
fanners.
Eastern’s delegate body
also strongly opposed
President Ford’s suggestion
that the Federal Milk
Marketing Order Program
be curtailed. Broe said that
this program along with
growth of the cooperative
movement have been chief
factors for price stability for
several decades. The
destruction of this program
would introduce disorderly
and disastrous milk
marketing not seen since the
depression years.
Howard Merrill of Walton,
N. Y., the Cooperative’s
President, stated that
present farm policy is
causing an untenable cost
back with their budgeted $43
and they burst into the stalls
of the Green Dragon. The
three food buyers started
with an armload of freshly
baked bread, veered to the
- lunch meat counter, paused
briefly before moving onto
the fresh vegetables, and
launched into a lively con
ference by a stack of cab
bages.
We left the group as they
bogged down momentarily
on the logistics of feeding 18
teenagers, three instructors
and dog. If they can learn to
do that on $43 a day, and
even if they’d learn nothing
else, their time in the
Trailside School would have
been well spent.

He sounded a warning that
unless there is immediate
price improvement for
farmers, our nation will
ultimately suffer from the
exodus of food producers.
Other resolutions adopted
by Eastern delegates were:
-The Departments of
Agriculture of New York,
Pennsylvania and Vermont
be requested to release in
formation to the news media
on weather conditions, crop
conditions and production of
food more regularly and
more completely than in the
