18 THE MORNING' OREGOXIAX. SATUEDAT, DECEMBER 11, 1920 SUBSTITUTES HELD MENACE TO BUTTER Oregon Producers' Prepare to Fight Competition. MARGARINE IS ASSAILED AVorktng of Old Cream by Chemical Methods Is Condemned; Prizes GiTen for Best Exhibits. After voting to fight butter sub stitutes and listening to various phases of the butter-making business, awards for exnibits were made at the dinner of the Oregon Butter and Cheese Makers.' association, after which the 11th annual convention was closed yesterday. "Oleo will crow j us out if we don't put a good quality of butter on the market," John Jamison of the Hazelwood company, warned the butter-makers yesterday afternoon. In the forenoon the convention, by unanimous vote, instructed the offi cers of the association to plan a cam paign to fight the margarine indus try and other butter substitutes. Important Papers Are Read. During the convention -various papers were read on neutralization and the methods of using lime and soda when old and sour, cream is used. Chris Johnsen, specialist of the western dairy division of Salt Lake City, confessed that he was one of those old-fashioned butter-makers who previous speakers declared would have" to get up to date or go out of busines3. Mr. Johnsen said that he had never used a pound of lime in a creamery in his life, and he never had to "neutralize." Mr. Johnsen said that the farmers must be educated; that while they will ship only the best arJples to market, they will send old. sour cream to the buttermakcrs and think it perfectly all right. The speaker showed how, as a matter of business efficiency, it i th. best Dolicy for the farmers to weet cream, and for the cream-J send s ery to use sweet cream if they w'sh tr t-et oualitv. Bv using fresh cream it will not ,be necessary to resort to chemicals. Sometimes old cream is not sour, but will, have a bad smell or a bad taste, and the flavor and odor is not disclosed by the acid test. Farm "Products on Decline. All farm products are on the de cline, save dairy products, said Mr. Johnsen, and as these are certain to decline before long, the best way to meet hard times is to prepare for hard times. In discussing plant efficiency, Mr. Jamison told the convention that boil ing water was better than steam for butter can have its tears removed by a few extra revolutions of the churn, and gave other hints. As there are some creameries that have more buttermilk than they can handle, and in some seasons they pour it into the sewer, Mr. Jamisen sug gested that buttermilk be placed in a lined tank and heated to 160 degrees. The result of this treatment will eliminate the water and the result will bo a fluid of the consistancy of cream. This buttermilk will find a ready market among farmers for their hogs and chickens. "The best Oregon butter has no de fects," asserted F. V. Bouska of Chi cago, the "headliner" of the conven tion. Mr. Bouska was programmed to point out the defects of Oregon's best butter and said he could not speak on that subject. Awards Made on Exhibits.

FIVE MILLION WILL STARVE Failure of Crops the Past Year In Largest Area Worst Known for Many Generations. A fifth of the population of the famine area of China will die of star, ration this winter; business condi' tions throughout tne orient are de pressed from this and other causes; but In spite of these adverse circum stances Portland's commerce with China Is showing a consistent in crease and will burst into new vlgnr next spring, when the new crops come in and the period of readjustment will have passed. This is the message brought to Portland by Carl L. Seltz. manager in the far east for the China-Pacific company, who is in this city for a few days conferring; with C. K. Dant, who handles the affairs of the com pany here. Mr. Seitz journeyed all through the famine swept area of China just before leaving Shanghai for Portland. Five Million Will Starve. "The famine area." he said, "In cludes about one-third of the total area of China. It includes all the region north of the Yellow river and between that river and the Tangtse valley. Its population is approxi mately 25,000,000 people. About 5.000, 000 of these will die of starvation and commit suicide this winter. The Chinese are fatalists and will simply quit when they realize that their con dition is hopeless. "The situation there is worse than any description I have read, and really cannot be imagined by anyone not familiar with the country. The people have already eaten everything green. The bark has been stripped from the trees and chewed up for the little nourishment it may contain and men, women and children are digging in the ground for roots. Most of this territory is now covered by snow. Millions of the Chinese have no homes of any kind and no shelter beyond the few rags they wear for clothing." Crop Knllare Worst Known. The famine in China this year Is due entirely, Mr. Seitz explained, to the failure of crops. As much of North China is practically a desert, the failure of a crop is not an iin usual occurrence, but the famine th's winter is the worst for generations, he said. The fall sowing of wheat, however, which will be harvested in May, was well along when he left China and is now protected by the snow, so indications are favorable for an ample crop next spring to provide food for the inhabitants of the famine area. Relief societies, principally the American Red Cross, he said, have provided the most valuable aid that could be rendered in furnishing the Chinese with seed wheat, which was left with the head men of the villages to see that-it was planted and not eaten, and it has been planted. . Al though practically all the cattle of the famine area had been sold or killed and eaten, the people them selves pulling the plows through the ground.. It was no uncommon sight, according to Mr. Seitz, to see eight or ten men, a few -women and sorrK? children all harnessed to a plow, till ing their fields. Brigrandv Ronm Country. "Though starvation is most acute, of course in the famine area ' proper,'" he said, "the effect of the crop failure is felt tor hundreds of miles in every direction. Men who have lost every thing they owned have become out laws and formed bands of brigands numbering from 10 to 50, who have spread into the regions of more plen tiful food and are taking everything in sight. "I cannot speak too highly of the work of the Red Cross in this famine stricken .area. This organization is doing everything that can .be done, and any contribution to its work is sure of being expended where it will do the most good. VThe China-Pacific company is do ing what it can in its own way. "We have taken a village of 500 souls to support until the new crop comes in. We are "keeping the men occupied in repairing their streets and homes and are paying them in food tickets in 1 stead of in cash. These tickets are presented at th soup kitchens where the men and their families are given 'two square meals a day." Kaiiut Come Too Late. 5 Mr. Seitz says that the usual agri cultural procedure in North China is to raise two crops a year. The first consists of wheat and cotton, which matures in May. If this crop is a success, he said, the farmers try for a crop of kooliang, a species of maize. This season the first crop was a failure and withered within a few inches of the ground. The farm ers tried for a second crop of wheat, which was killed by a drought, the heavy fall rains coming just too late to save it. " "Aside from the famine area," said Mr. Seitz, reviewing the situation in a broader light, "the commercial con ditions throughout All China are bad. The slump in prices has caught mer chants with large stocks of high priced goods in China as' in other countries. Practically no exporting is being done in the valuable com modities such as silks, which are re maining in the warehouses. Commerce Consistently Increasing. "The pendulum will swing . back, however, and the readjustment will be effected. Meanwhile, we are plug ging along and keeping the lines of communication open. In spite of extremely adverse conditions, the China-Pacific Shipping company, has been caring for a consistently in creasing commerce between Portland and China and a good volume of transcontinental freight moving to China through Portland. The real mission of Mr. Seitz in this country is to urge upon congress the passage of a proposed federal in corporation bill for American com panies in China to enable them to compete on equal footing with Brit ish companies in that field. He will leave in a few days for Washing ton, where he will remain, he says, until he secures favorable action Such a bill was introduced Into the house of representatives in July, 191i. In this work Mr. Seitz is the dele gate of the American Chamber of Commerce of China. He is generally looked upon by foreign traders of this country as the biggest Amer'can business man in China and It Is be lieved that his counsel will be heeded by the national lawmaking body. . Coast Lumber Operator Dead. J. U. Baxter, head of J. H.

Malolo, After Hurtling Half Dozen Reefs, Finally Impaled on "'Rafael Point Rocks. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 10. (Spe cial.) Swept before a great south southeast gale, the Seattle fishing srhooner Malolo hurtled half a dozen reefs and shoals before she was im paled on the jagged rocks off Rafael point on the west coast of Vancouver island, according to the survivors of the wreck, who reached Seattle today from British Columbia aboard the steamship Princess Charlotte of the Canadian Pacific Steamship company. "It was the greatest storm I have encountered in 16 years' experience on the fishing banks," said Captain August Skog, master of the Malolo. "The storm came up at 9 P. M., December 2, and carried us before It just as if our vessel was ar toy. After fighting the gale all nightve-were swept Inshore at 6 A. M., December 3, and carried .over half a dozen reefs and shoals before we finally landed on the rocks which ended the career of the Malolo. 'The rocks tore the bottom out of the schooner and smashed her keel, and with the breakers beating over us all hands took to two of the dories W landed in the surf at Rafael point arid found refuge in an Indian shack, where we built a fire and dried our clothing. After resting a day in the shack, we set out on foot for Fitzpatrick ranch, about two miles distant, where we were cared for by Grover S. Landa Kentucky baseball player who Is spending his vacation on Vancouver Island. We spent two days at the ranch and then walked 14 miles to Ahousat, where we took a small boat for Clayoquot, B. C. At Clayoquot we boarded the steamship for Victoria." Towboat Goes for Schooner. The harbor towboat Portland went down the river yesterday afternoon to bring the. .schooner C. S.
