Whatever setback the creamery busi
ness may experience in the Willamette
valley will bo only temporary. The
farmers of this region have similar
human dispositions to those of other
portions of the earth and they are liable
to the same changes and moods. The
rule has been in creamery regions for
farinera to withdraw their patronage
after the first or second year'a contract
with them, but in another year or two
they return to the creamery business
again with more conservative expecta
tions and with better understanding of
it, and then it become permanent and
