(Associated Press Photo) SURPLUS OF MILK MAIN PROBLEM OF MODERN DAIRYING (By Chas. W. Austin.) , As hinted In former articles, the Inter-lndendence of man and cattle Is traced from early history, and the kingdom of the cow is a constantly widening empire. This 1 true In Jackson county, and should be made a very material asset to our commun ity welfare, but in these times It takea punch, loyalty and a sports manlike spirit of fairness to get us anywhere. Thank to such like efforts of the cn&mber of commerce and their dairy committee In taking George's place in doing it, and we nope they con tlnue; but you know, patience may cease to be a virtue. It la said "char. lty begin at home" so let's take this dairy surplus home to every. one of us. A dairy surplus means fundamen tally a butter surplus. Butter mak ing la the catch-all for surplus milk, and like other communities we have been waiting and hoping for codes and codes, until like the Swede "fal ler" who called on to pray on ship board during a desperate atorm, ex pressed himself thus: "Oh, Lord ve vant help, and that d kvwlck, too," The ship wrecked man at sea does not keep "laying" still, hoping and waiting for Uncle Sam to throw him lifeline. No slree, he Just keeps paddling, and the more he sinks, the greater effort he exerts to keep his head above. ' Just Sow vitally our individual re sponsibility arntres la our dairy com munity Interest was brought out at the California dairy short course, Mr. Producer, do you really want to make half your product worth twice a much? Then grab the bull by the horns. Make at least a peri odic hermit of him. Kiss too star- boarder cow goodbye. Save fewer and better calvea. Became a drastto eliminator. Increase consumption In your own home. Remember Its your product and your Investment that goea Into cash or surplus. Briefness 1 necessary, but next take the distributor and processor. Both he and the producer can with propriety here become self-conscious, aa well aa conscientious in realising mat every time you do something to Improve the quality of your produot, you are aiding In marketing same. and thereby whittling aurplusses. Do you sufficiently realise you can force recognition of your wares because you are dealing in products which have an Individuality and value all their own, whethor It milk, cream, butter, cheese or Ice cream. With well kept, clean, healthy cows, this Individuality will be de livered by dear old Boeay, and Its up to the Industry to maintain same from "pall to palate." This Individ uality la designated as aroma, or a smooth, velvety, nutty taste, which ao pleases the palate that It will de mand recognition by being helped to an extra slice of butter or cheese, another spoonful of Ice cream, or an added glass of milk. when the producer and distribu tor sufficiently awakea to his oppor tunity or education in building up tastes, s many other lines are do ing, he will holler loud and long enough concerning their honest mer its to make It Impossible to crowd them off .first place In every dally menu. The consumer still ha his oppor. tunlty In this picture. He Is just simply kidding himself In substl. tutes. there ain't no auch, which may be shown later.

(gnU Much has been said from time to time regarding the high cost of liv ing a pertaining to foodstuffs and clothing, but only recently has any particular atentlon been brought to ugnt of momenta that may greatly In crease the cost or housekeeping. Tnere ha been Introduced In cong ress a measure, which is at this tlmo before the senate finance committee. The measure proposes to levy an ex cise tax of So per pound on all cocoa nut oils used In the United States. Cocoanut oil play an Important part in the manufacture of household soaps and the proposed tax. If Im posed, will practically double the coat or soap to the consumer. Cocoanut oils have, been found to be the moat efficient Ingredient ob tamable, that will Insure quick, aatls factory cleansing qualities In soap. It makes possible the efficiency obtain ed by the modern mechanical wash ing machine, which ha done much to relieve the housewife of the drudge or tub and washboard washing. Soap, aa manufactured today, with a content of cocoanut oil, Is excep tionally Inexpensive to use, but If the proposed tax of five cents per pound is levied, while seemingly small, will tend to make domestic manufactured sosp sell for approximately twice as much aa the present price. Such an Increase In the price of soap obvious ly would greatly curtail It use. and materially add to the labors of house keeping. The excise tax Is proposed to In crease governmental revenue, and en courago the use of domestic product. But. there Is no domestic substitute that offer the essentially deep pene trating qualities of cocoanut oils, nor would revenues be increased, for manufacturers would be unable to sell this high quality soap at the Increas ed, prohibitive price. Such a condition would force manu facturera to seek locations of their plant In territories free from such a tax, and Import their products Into the United States. This method of procedure, It has been pointed out, would even tend to Increase the price of household soap an appreciable amount, to asy nothing of the loss to American workera who would be thrown out of employment through such a necessary move. Housewives the nation over should be vitally Interested In thla menace which threaten to render useless work of th modem washing ma chine or double the cost of the uc of soap In her household require ments. In the Interest of Justice, every fact regarding the Impairment of our present modes of living and the pos sibilities of Increasing the burden of the cost of living should be brought to the attention ot the members of the senate finance committee before this excite tax measure 1 voted on urn week, I LAW FACES TEST I PORTLAND, March 21. (AP) A temporary Injunction restraining the city of Portland from degrading milk produced by his dairy without giving him recourse of arbitration aa pro vided by state law, was Issued In cir cuit court here late Tuesday on be. hair ot H. E. Klger, milk producer. ' Under the terma of the Injunction Klger will be permitted to continue the aale of hla product a grade "A1 milk pending a hearing of the case' on Its merits. He has refused to comply with the city's order to de grade his milk from grsde "A" to grade B. The case Is a test of the new state law and Involves the right of the city to degrade milk of dairy farm era In ths Portland mllkshed without arbitration. It strikes the court," said Circuit Judge Hewitt In lsslng the restrain ing order, "that If the plaintiff's milk were unclean It would be the duty of the city to bar It from aale Instead of merely degrading it and permitting It to be sold, because if It Is sold a grade B milk, the very people who can least afford to pro tect themselves by buying grade A milk, are the ones who buy grade B milk."

AND JAPAN SHAKE HANDS ON PEACETIMES (Continued from page one) - "No question exist between our two countries that la fundamentally Incapable of amicable aolutlon." Hull concurred In thla statement and added: "If unhappily there should arise in the future any controversy be tween our two countries, the Ameri can government will be prepared, as I believe it always has been In the past, to examine the - position ot Japan In a spirit of amity ..." Trade Extension Favored. Further, the two statesmen apoke favorably of an extension of trade between the two countries. The notes were released simultan eously to the press at the state de nartment here and In Tokyo. The Japanese note waa delivered oy Hlroshl Sslto. Nippon's new ambas sador here, Just one month ago, but onlv today was Its receipt disclosed. Some close observers here ssw in It a friendly attempt by Japan to lay the groundwork for opening dis cussions with the United States on severs! questions on which the two nation are not In complete accora. Included In this category would be Japan's unofficial proposal for a pre liminary two-nation conference tor a discussion ot naval armaments be fore the general naval conference, which Is to be held In Washington In 1935. Japan hss already served notice she will seek parity at that time. Significant Moment, Others considered It significant that the not had been dispatched Just one week before Pu Yl, the former boy emperor of China, became Em peror Kang Teh of the Japanese- aponsored empire of Manchukuo, on March 1. In general, however, Japan a note waa interpreted as an ausplcloua In troduction of Ambassador Balto, ac credited with being closer to the mili tary party In Japan than was his pre decessor. Ambassador Debuchl. '1 do not doubt," Hlrota said, "that all Issues pending between the two nBtlona will be settled In a satis factory manner ... "It la the sincere desire of japan that a most peaceful and friendly re lation will be firmly established be tween her and' her great neighbor across the Pacific, the United States. And to this end I have been exerting my best .effort since I took the post of foreign minister." After replying In kind, Hull added: "I feel I should also avail myself of thla opportunity to express my earnest hope .that Itemay be possible for all of th countries which have Interest In the far east to approach very question existing or which may arise between or among them In auch spirit and manner that these ques tions may be regulated or resolved with Injury to none and with defi nite and lasting advantage to all."
