Mr. KIger told of the re ; suits obtained by the Oregon Dairymen's league, and the plans they have made ; for the future. Including a method of . ; solving the feed problem by having the league enter the feed market at the i proper time and contracting for suffl .' cient feed for the needs of the members i of the league. Thus the members of the 1 league will obtain the necessary sup- plies at la far lesser cost than If the in ! dlvlduali dairymen were to buy them in 'the open market. He also stated that :j In view j of ' the fact that the league was paying $3 for milk, that the large cream eries. In! the state would have to raise ;i their prices in order to meet the com I petition in this way giving the dairy ; men a fairer price for their output. I i . .'! W1U Matatata Price The price of ft that has been set ;-, would be maintained, said he, if the : league even had to go so far as to ob- . tain a plant and condense the milk in ; order to secure a price for the product which would give them a fair returtt for labor and Investments.
