The members of the Farmers and Business Men’s League met in the council rooms on Wednes day night, with a very large at tendance present. From the point of taking up meritorious projects of pressing importance many express the opinion that more real work was accomplished toward advancing local improve ments Jthan any yet held. The Alfalfa Cheddar Cheese Company came in for the major part of the discussion. This thriving indus try has grown since taken over by the Farmers some few m »nth« ago from a concern utilizing 1500 lbs of milk per day to one taking over 5000 lbs to operate. It collects this milk from a very wide terri*_ tory, extending practically from anna to Ontario and the Owy hee country. The business seems only to have started to grow and the present factory buildings are entirely inadequate to allow for new business or properly take care of that now being done. The cheese company had practically decided to move the factory to some point in the country where a building site would be donated and which would be satisfying to the needs of the company. How ever the business men of Nyssa took such action at this meeting that the cheese company is not nly assured that in the event of their locating a factory in Nyssa they will be given a building site, but that we want them anu want to aid them in the work they are - doing toward the up-building of the community. It was proposed whereby funds now in the treas ury of the city as a sinking fund might he available to the company at a very nominal rate of interest and that such an arrangement would be advantageous to the cheese company in acquiring cheap uloney and to the town in acquiring some compensation for the use of these funds. The members of the company feel gratified in the appreciation shown and the desire to help ex pressed by the League. The state ment was made by Dr. Sarazin, president of the company, that at the present rate o f business the company was paying into this territory over $35,000 annually, obviously a proposition that we wilj profit by boosting. New members taken in were W. W, Smith and G. L. Phillips, The meeting is designed for the purpose of getting acquaint ed and talking over the farm ers’ problems peculiar to this community. People, we ought all to get out to meet our ad viser. We pay faxes for him. Now if he can help us, lets get our m oney’s worth. At least, let us give him a chance to show us what he can do for us, or better still, to see what we can do for ourselves. The farm adviser’s mission is not primarily to give advie®— that doesn’t amount to much. But, when a farmer goes to Nyssa to trade, he doesn’t say, “ I will give you so much today for some tea aud a broom.” No, indeed. He says, “ how much do you ask for some tea and a broom?” Now, it seems it would only be fair for him in turn to name the price of his products. But, no, again. He H. Walters and E. F. Pratt does not say, “ I will sell my went to Ontario Friday and took potatoes to you today for so in the last meeting of the chap much.” Heasks “ Will you please ter this season.
