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

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

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

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

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

hair ot H. E. Klger, milk producer.
' Under the terma of the Injunction
Klger will be permitted to continue

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

milk, are the ones who buy grade
B milk."

U. S. 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."
