The reader can imagine how naiiiful it must lie to tin; dairy men to lir wagged about by tin tail end of the industry, with tin aliove results. Tu produce lit sueh n loss as the dairymen are now taring is ruinous. No other industry enuld absorb sueh a loss. The dairy man alisnrliH it by working lunger hours, by working every memlier uf the family long hours without eoiiipensatiuii, nml by disregard iug interest mi invest incut. Itelief is possible here nml else where, as it w as made possible in Tillamook by organization. The Oregon Dairymen's League pro vides sueh tin organization. It has already produced results in the market milk situation. The machinery is in motion, and it re mains for the dairymen to dem onstrate their ability to organize NiiHieienlly to demand fair play. If ilairymen are prosperous all the numerous lines dependent, up on it will prosper. The league deserves the moral support of ev ery citizen of Oregon. May we have it ?" Mr, and Mrs. A. V.
