PICKENS, S. C., FEBRUARY s, 1912.

the Orange judd Farmer. The re-
suit is, many times. the butter makers
are reluctant to reject cream which is
so low grade that it ought not TO be
accepted They DO not like to hear
the patron say: II you are not sat
sfied with that cream why you just
leave it alone. I'll take it over to the
other creamery" Thus there are hun
dreds of patrons in cooperative Sec
tons that are imposing On creameries
because of the rivalry between but
ter makers.
With farmers creameries there is
absolutely no excuse for this. They
get all there is in it. There should
be cooperation ana not rivalry. The
butter makers in the North Iowa dry
Improvement association appreciate
this and have organized for the pur-
pose Of bringing about change. They
have elected a president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer and pro
pose from now on to work In har-
mony-to pull together. They intend
to meet every month to discuss
creamery problems, score butter and
compare workmanship. By forming
this association these butter makers
havc made an original and one OF the
very best moves that can be conceived
Of l notice the following rules in
their constitution and bylaws:
The object of this organization is:
First, to cooperate with the intention
Of controlling the grade of cream ac-
cepted at these creameries. Ali
cream which in the butter makers
judgment will not make butter scor-
ing SO or better is TO be rejected.
Cream rejected by one butter maker
cannot be accepted by another II
any butter maker Is found violating
these rules the organization will use
its influence to have him removed.
Second, to secure uniformity in
workmanship and to manufacture
grade of butter which will score 90 or
better.
Third to so cooperate with the of.
ficers of the North Iowa Dairy I'm
provement association that a general
manager could guarantee a certain
grade ard contract for the entire out
put of all these creameries.
For an organization Of this kind
there are many opportunities to do
good Even at present some Of these
creameries are making butter which
scores 90, yet they do not get all that
they might for the butter because it
is sold in comparatively small lots.
and it is not guaranteed to score this
high throughout the year. If the but
ter made by the creameries in this or
ganization scored SO or better and was
uniform in color, sailing, water con-
tent and packing it could be sold for
an average advance Of at least one
cent per pound more. Butter firms
will pay more for guaranteed ar
ticle. When they can contract 1t In
large quantities, say two or four car
loads week by the year they will
give more. They can afford to. They
60 not need to spend time and money
in soliciting shipments.
I will watch the work Of this most
practical organization with interest
In my judgment 1t is one Of the most
practical steps that group of buttc:-
makers could take. They propose to
work in unison 1t will pave the way
for the creamery managers to get to-
gether and buy and sellSon a large
scale in a cooperative manner

GEORGE WASHINGTON SPEAKS
On Religion And Taxes

In his farewell address, which should
be read every year for political guidance
and inspiration to patriotism are the fol-
lowing timely advices:
"Of all the dispositions and habits,
which lead to political prosperity, relig-
ion and morality are indispensable sup
ports. In vain would that man claim
the tribute of patriotism, who should la
Dor to subvelt these great pillars OF hu-
man happiness. these props OF the duties
of men and citizens. The mere polite
ian, equally with the pious man, ought to
cherish them. A volume could not trace
| public felicity. Let it simply be asked,
Where is the security for property, for
reputation, for life, if the sense of relig-
ious obligation desert the oaths, which are
| the instruments of investigation i'll courts
| of Justice? And let us with caution in
dulge the superstition, that morality can
be maintained without religion. What
ever may be conceded to the influence of
| refined education OH minds of peculiar
structure, reason and experience both for
bid us to expect, that national morality
can prevail in exclusion of religious prin-
ciple.
lit is substantially true, that virtue or
morality is a necessary spring of popular
government. The rule, indeed, extends
with more or less force to every species of
free government. Who, that is a sincere
friend to it, can look with Indifference
upon attempts to shake the foundation of
the fabric?
promote, them, as an object of prima-
ry Importance, institutions for the gener-
al diffusion OF knowledge. In proportion
as the structure of a government gives
force to public opinion, it is essential that
public opinion should be enlightened.
LAS a very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving it is, to use it as
sparingly as possible; avoid occasion Of
expense by cultivating peace. but remem-
boring also that timely disbursements to
prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements to repel it,;
avoiding likewise the accumulation OF
debt, not only by stunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exertion in time
of peace to discharge the debts, which
unavoidable wars may have occasioned
not ungenerously throwing upon posteri-
ty the burden which We ourselves ought
to bear. The execution of these maxims
belongs to your representatives. but it is
necessary that public opinion should CO
operate. To facilitate to them the per-
Torrance of their duty, it is essential
that you should practically bear in mind
that towards the payment of the debts
there must be revenue; that to have rev.
enue there must be taxes; that no taxes
can be devised which are not more or
less inconvenlent and unpleasant; that
the intrinsic embarrassment, inseparable
from the selection of the proper objects
(which is always a choice OF d%ifficulties),
ought to be a decisive motive for a can
did construction of the conduct OF the
government i'll making it, and for a spir-
it OF acquiescence in the method for OBJ
tanning revenue, which the public ex-
igencies may at any time dictate"
