Sumas Willing to Co-Operate

Reeve Murphy of Sumas stated that
his Council was willing to join with
the public works department in sur-
facing or otherwise improving the
Vye road west of the municipal hall
or the Whatcom road to the Inter-
provincial highway as a relief mea-
sure. Some projects must be un-
dertaken this winter, the Reeve ob-
served, and permanent work, giving
value for money expended, was the
only kind his Council would sanction.
Mr. Barrow promised to incorporate
this proposition in his effort to get
something underway here,

Mr. Barrow was asked if in his op-
inion the sugar-beet refinery projects
mooted in the Valley were practic-
able. “I do not” he replied, “be-

A manifesto, outlining the various
advantages of “unionism” for farmers
is to be immediately circulated to
dairymen all over the Fraser Valley.
This was one of the important
ganizing steps decided upon yester-
day in Abbotsford at a special meet-
ing of the provisional directorate of
the Farmers’ Co-Operative Union of
British Columbia

The meeting decided to notify the
provincial minister of agriculture
that, cream was being imported into
the “'t.b.-free’’ area of the Fraser
Valley.

City distributors were operating
under settling rates varying as much
as 10 cents, and it was thought the
producers should interview the var-

Seven Reasons for Joining Up

Reasons for dairymen joining the
Farmers’ Co-Operative Union were
enumerated as follows:

1.—Immediate object to stabilize
fluld milk prices by controlling price
to distributors and thereby doing aw-
ay with unfair competition.

2.—To untimately bring about 100

per cent. pool price for equal grades
of amillk. ‘

—To recognize consistent year-
setae shippers.

4.—Through the Union to present
a united front for legislation favor-
able to the farmers in the marketing
of his products.

6.—By getting together in the 0. B.
U. the opportunity is created to fron
out our differences of opinion to our
mutual benefit.

6.—The medium Is afforded to re-
medy unfair methods in the market-
ing of our products.

7.—Thus far, movement of
forming this Union has already saved
the milk producers of this valley
thousands of dollars through the av-
erting of a milk war, and has been
the means of bringing about an in-
creased price for fluid milk.
