the quality OF our products. The adop-
wonderful changes In uniformity end ex-
ceilence OF quality in butter. There were
pounds OF butter and 10000 pounds of
cheese. There is not a creamery or cheese
factory In the state that can get milk
enough TO supply It's demands. 1t Is idle
to talk OF Quitting our markets, and on
our own borders We have the Orient as q
market.
Regarding legislation. he said:
I'VE do not ask any fayors in legislation,
bat We demand Justice. Against the man
rfacture and sale of o'eouargarine in it's
natural color or in such form as Will ad-
wise the consumer OF its true character. We
utter no complaint. bur when IL Is colored
ceive the consumer. and sold as butter, we
invoke the aid or the legislature ard tu-
dietary in driving Il out OF the markets.
The decision OF the supreme court OF the
United States Is in our favor on this qles-
ton. LET the state legislation be made in
conformity with this decision
Considerable surprise was caused by tho
reading OF the following communication
from John r. Agea. leading Seattle deal
er. His expression, o. a feeling favorable
TO reasonable dairy legislation was re-
eelved with general approbasion:
Il would respectfully ask that COM
mi,tee be- appointed To draw up a bah which
Will prevent process or renovated butter
branded such. Also 10 establish a state
brand for all creamery butter made liz
W aSfltngton. so as TO prevent any butter
not produced IN Washington being sold az
S7lcs The fine for violation of this law
should be made so large that there VIII ~
no chance Of hurting the dairy Industry OF
THIS state by F~wrapp8ne or reorandsng
butter maze elsewhere.
