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".
