milk contol board refusing the application of four pickering farmers to join the pickering milk transport coop should be of profound significance to every farmer interested in building farmer control over his own business the board ruled that the co operative which hauls milk from pickering farms to toronto was just another transport agency and that the our farmers must continue to make use of the privately own ed transport they are now forced to use the royal commission on milk in 1917 studied this question care fully in their special recommen dations they urged that farmers should be permitted to haul milk cooperatively through coopera tive associations for themselves and neighbors and note this carefully that such permission be granted without regard to existing facilities there was a very special reason for putting in that clause with out regard to existing facilities if existing private facilities were to lie yardstick by which the board were to judge cooperative applications no cooperative group would be able to get a start at all the government of this province and the government of canada have both made it abundantly clear that they favor the establish ment and encouragement of co operative organizations through which farmers can exercise wider control of their own business keep more of the cash return for them selves and effect savings for the consumers

milk control board could come to the decision it did j last week is something that re quired a lot of explanation through whatever channels may be open to them the pickering farmers should carry their fight for the recognition of their right to join and use the cooperative of their choice and they should have behind them the whole support and influence of every section of organized agriculture the cause of the pickering farmers is not that of four individ ual producers it is ultimately the cause of every farmer in the country regulations made by the milk control board under the milk con trol
