FIGHTING "oLEo."
Meeting of Farmers and Dairymcn Sat
rr,iny in This City.

rrdny In This City.
A largely attended meeting of farmers
of New Castle county was held at the
Builders Exchange Saturday afternoon.
Arnold Naudain presided and Professor
Penny of Delaware College acted as
secretary.
The business on hand was to arrange
some method by which proper restric-
tions could be placed on the sale of
oleomargarine SO as to distinguish IT
from butter.
At present 1t Is notorious fact that
Notwithstanding the heavy penalties laid
by Congress, immense quantities of the
article are sold as butter.
Professor Penny clearly stated
that there is no objection from the
farmers TO the sale of oleomargarine
as oleomargarine, but it is necessary
that it be labeled with some easily dis
tinguishable mark. He stated that q
letter had been received from the
internal revenue commissioner at
Washington offering to prosecute free
of cost to the informer of any case of
violation Of this law. But this il seems
does not prevent the Illegal sale here.
Representative Charles Walton ex-
pressed himself entirely in accord with
this movement of the farmers of New
Castle county.
Representative John G. Higgins of
ST. Georges agreed with Professor Penny
that prohibitory law on the sale of
oleomargarine would be Improbable.
He doubted too whether it would be a
proper idea to appoint detective.
He was ready, with Mr.. Walton, to
advocate Immediately the needs of the
farmers and is ready to take
the matter up in tho House.
He was in favor of the
appointment of an inspector, who, as
suggested by President Naudain, might
be milk inspector and meat inspector
all at a joint salary of $1,000.
The permanent officers of the Delaware
Dairymen's Protective Association are as
follows: President, Arnold Naudain Of
Stanton; Secretary, John A. Hopkins of
Thompson; Treasurer, PhilipT. Pierson of
Hockessin.
Representative Walton was empowered
to prepare articles of incorporation and to
present them to the Legislature for enact
ment. It was decided to petition for the
appointment of an inspector of dairy
products at a salary of 81 900 per annum.
There was some discussion over the ques-
tion of the advisability of joining with the
citizens of Wilmington in their desire Of
having Il meat inspector and a milk inspec-
tor. The suggestion was that the three in
spectons be Joined in one at salary of
$1,000 per annum. The executive COM
mittee comprising y. w. Dawson, Presi-
dent Naudain and Treasurer Pierson with
Representative Walton were instructed to
meet with the Board of Health to asccr-
tain what joint action might be taken.
The association will meet again at the
Clayton House Saturday, May 10th, at
