DAIRY FARMERS ORGANIZING.
£13' In various sections of the country, the dairymen
are organizing for the purpose of stabilizing pri es
" s'" ~ for milk and butter. The movement is one that should
T’ !««! appeal to all dairy farmers. All Other industries
have formed associations which have resulted in bet-
ter prices for their products and there is no reason
why the dairyman should not organize for his protec-
tion. Not an organization for the purpose of bleed-
" 1 a ing the consumers, but for the purpose of protecting
the producer from losses. In the South, {he dairymen
have not organized in a general way—only here and
there and no concerted action nas been taken oh
their part. However, the time has arrived when they
should meet in groups in the various sections of‘the
country and organize for their own protection. The
Christian Science Monitor offers a most valuable sugr
gestion on this line, which if followed, will not only
lead to better conditions In the dairying business,
but it will enable the dairyman to realize a price for
his milk and butter sufficient to warrant him to en
large and improve on the quality and production.
The Monitor says:
“Following the example of the principal manufac
turing industries, which have formed associations for
the purpose of stabilizing prices and otherwise pro
moting their joint interests, the dairy, farmers of the
local, state and national groups, closely related, and
including a large percentage of all the .milk produc
ers of the country. For manyyearscpnditions in the
milk industry were fiercely competitive, with the
result that prices were very low, at times less than
the cost of production,. .Late,iiu.the ...past-..century,
spasmodic gropings toward co-operation began in a
few northwestern states, and gradually extended
throughout the regions in which dairy farthing has
been found most profitable. Today an immense
quantity of milk is marketed by dairyman’s leagues
and similar organizations; the quality of the product
has been improved; and the producers are in most
instances receiving prices that allow a reasonable
profit.
“During the last few weeks the wholesale price of
butter has advanced five or six cents per pound to an
unusually high price, evoking widespread protests
from the urban press, complaints from housewives,
and demands that state or federal governments pro
tect the consumers by proceedings against what is al
leged to be agreements in restraint of trade. To what
extent, the higher price is the result of concerted ac
tion by the producers or middlemen is difficult to say,
and it does not appear what, if anything, the Gov
ernment can do to put prices down again. When, as
always happened in the past, high prices have
stimulated production beyond the immediate demand,
and the surplus has beoome tod big to control, there
will be a downward tendency.
"Too often the city press and city dweller philo
sophically hail the advancing prices of copper and
steel and other industrial materials as a favorable in
dex of better business, but unthinkingly and on lines
of habit protest against higher prices for an import
ant farm product. City residents, who see prosperity
in fair prices for manufactured articles should, in
fairness, reason similarly when farmers co-operate to
secure a fair price for their milk and butter.”
In this section of the state, the dairying industry
hart grown to be one of importance. Each year there
is shown a wonderful growth in the business and in
a majority of the cases, the dairies are proving suc
cessful from a financial standpoint. The Georgia
State College of Agriculture has contributed much
to the success and increase cf the industry in this
state. Since the activities of this institution were
commenced, the dairying business has grown from
one of minor importance to one of great proportions
and Its growth and development is extending
throughout Georgia,

MR. HUGHES ON AL SMITH.
Great rejoicing went abroad among the ranks ot
the Republicans a few day* ago when it was announc
ed that Charle* E. Hughe*, himself a candidate for
president in 1920 againrtt Woodrow Wilson, would
take the stump for Hoover and Republican success
this fail.
The New York Times sees a significant note in this
announcement and elation and cites Mr. Hughes to a
few past utterances on Al Smith. The Times editorial
is as follows;
"It might at first seem hard to account for the elation of
the National Republican Committee in announcing the fact
that Mr. Hughes has agreed to make some political speeches
in this state. But on reflection one sees that it Is the satis
faction which comes from doing a thing both jgat and gen
erous. For the Republican Committee must kndw that Mr..
Hughes will he compelled to stand by, if not to repeat the
high praise of Smith which he uttered when presenting the*
Governor to the Association of the Bar of thia city. He then
welcomed him as ‘the expert in government and, I might say,
a master In the science of polities. As a further text for hit
expected speeches against Smith, he could take thq following
extract from his own address on the same occasion:
“ ‘He long since became a-member of high distinction of
the fine aristocracy of public service—the American .peerage.
We have watched him, some of us carefully, alt with fasci
nation. The title that he holds is th* proudest title that any
‘American can hold because it is a title to the esteem and
respect of his feilow-pttisena—Governor Smith.’
“Doubtless the Republican National Committee will alto
be glad to have Mr. Hughes Inc'ide in his anti-Smith cam
paigning the words used by President Butler when Columbia
University conferred upon Governor Smith the honorary de
gree of iDovtor of Laws:
" ‘Born on Manhattan Island and trained in the hard
ol of Ita many-sided and cosmopolitan life; since man
hood a constant and eager public servant in posts of steadily ,
; Important and authority; three timea chosen by th*
the truly Imperial State to be, their Governor;
