He was concerned about the problem and wondered how many of the farmers would stick together and try to work out a solution to the problem that was feasible to all, if Eastern would help the farmers Eastern guaran teed, Tewksbury stated, a milk market to all members of the co-op. About 110 members are involved. When asked about the financial stability of Eastern Co-op, while Tewksbury admitted that it has been a bad year for milk sales, he stressed that Eastern was m stable condition, with no buddings mortgaged. According to Bob Martin, New Holland R 3, President of the local group, stated that the farmers receiving the letter notifying them of the termination of services from the creamery' had no idea that this was going to hap pen “The b.g thing now," he stated, is to find another market by November 12.” The purpose of Monday’s meeting was to see how many farmers u anted to Uv togetm r, and handle the emblem and he stated that jbout 85 per < ent of those there wert in la .or of that ' ')o‘ >- • 1C nutlf 1 llt.ll .

In the fifth place dry cow slot was an what may be dene, although he stressed that nothing had been finalized or decided yet. One suggestion was to take the milk of non-members of Eastern, while attaching a penalty to them for not being members. This would take care of the problem of handling the milk of non members and urge farmers to support the coop that is handling their problems. Another solution would be for the co-op to charge a flat for services, with one fee for all farmers. But, the problem with that solution, Martin added, was that the farmers who aren’t producing as much milk as others would still pay the same amount of money. A third solution might be for the co-op to start anew, taking new members with no penalties attached. Agam, though, it was questioned how the members of the co op would feel who had supported it for years knowing that others were suddenly being helped without supporting the co-op through the good years of milk service Another meeting will be held to determine the out come of the problem of the dam/ fanners today, Oc tober 29, at one n m , at the Bareviilt Fire Hall All fanners i ff ected by the ( in ini "i '.I .v Holland Jcl < I I ‘ animal owned by H.D.
