Oregon, under act of Miuvli 3. 1ST9 Friday, Sept. 26. 1924 Letter From State Grange Editor: DairjinR haa been about the only bw.cn of aRriaulture that haa returned a profit to the farmers of Orteon for the past three or four years, and the last legislature passed a law prohibit inz the use of milk or its products in the manufacture of butter substitutes in order to protect this branch. The referendum has been invoked on this law. A few concerns want to make big profits at the expense of the farmers by putting a counterfit butter on the market, using a small percent ot milk products to give it the taste and odor of real butter, and telling it for "something just as good." The argument in the state pamphlet makes the moan that the anti oleo law prohibits the manufacturer of oleo in Oregon. It does not. It simply requires that oleo stand on its own merits; that there shall be no fraud, no counterfeit that the manufac turers shall not doctor up their copra and vegetable oil products with milk products to undermine the dairy market and drive thousands of cows oil the farms. About 2 million pounds of oleo will be sold in Oregon this year, about I made in this state and the balance shipped in. It will require approximately 14000 cows to supply this amount of real butter. Now, which would be the most benefit to the state, the the profit! of a half dozen oleo makers or the addition of 14,000 cows to the dairy farms of Oregon, with the industries that would be supported by this ad dition? Oregon will never be perman ently prosperous until farming is prosperous. Our ehamber of commerce, railroads and othea organizations are expending big sums of money to build up farm ing and bring in new residents. Doesn't it seem that the oddition of 14,000 dairy cows to the present farms was worth the effort of voting for? And bear this in mind, you friends of agriculture. If you would vote out the spurious butter vote yes on the referendum There seems to be general confusion regarding this, The proposition is whether or not to sustain the present law. If you would sustain it.and prohibit the manufacturers from using milk in their oil products to make it pass as butter, vote "YES". George A. Paimiter. State Grange Master.
