tition that 1t was agreed at the time

attached to his petition is an itemized

has been my privilege on many occa-

say that l never saw a better class o.

THE Iowa dairymen are surely TAX
ing the lead in the butter making Of
the west and of the east too, for that
matter and from the attitude taken In
mean to keep the position they have Sc
cured. Your Iowa butter makers have
the progressive idea and the state and
themselves are profiting by the effort

Iowa butter take step higher in the
