WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner at first an.
nual convention of saskatchewan,
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-.
gress of 1915 which shows a great in.
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to-
100000 lbs. II. also said the inn
provement in quality Is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year In 1915. There was an
increase Of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over 25,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4, $50, 444 lbs.
and 1t brought an average price of 23c-
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S39867
lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per lib. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2,760,69S, in addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at 1926, $50
and the cream at $15S, 1877, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and of sweet cream at 32c
per Id. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry It is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number Of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,005, which Is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1918
paid its patrons a rate of 271ac per
lb. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses of $5,5S4.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers SOL and manu-
featured 256,O0O lbs. butter and $4,000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta Is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 1925, 900 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

HOUSE MAY ADOPT
this DODGING Plan
Rep. Porter Advocates The
org That Congress Has
Been "Butting In"

WASHINGTON, March !. The
House Foreign Affairs committee at
ter all, extended session adjourned IN
til this afternoon without reporting
any resolution warning Americans
against taking passage on armed ships
or taking other action to secure q
record vote OF House members on the
subject.
Following the meeting Of the COM
mittee it developed that Represents
tive S. G. Porter of Pittsburgh, a mem
Der Of the committee, had made q sug-
gestion that may be incorporated IN
the resolution the House is expected
TO consider. MI. Porter, 1t is under
stood, held the position that Congress
should take no action on the issue at
hand until the President had exhaust
ed his power and authority; that the
President, under the constitution, has
the right to negotiate with foreign pow
ers and that Congress. at this time,
had no authority to act.
Representative Porter drew up a
resolution In accord with his views,
which he submitted to Chairman
Flood. The solution recites that:
The conduct of diplomatic nego-
tiations is one Of tho constitutional
powers OF the President, with
which we do not consider it proper
or respectful to interfere =
II the President reaches a point In
any negotiations with any foreign
government at which he believes

he has exhausted his power or au-
thority in the premises, he will
in the usual way, report all facts
and circumstances to Congress
for consideration.
Because some of the members of
the committee hold that there should
be some kind Of a warning to Ameri.
cans taking passage on belligerent
ships, Mr.. Porter has indicated his
willingness to amend the resolution by
reciting that although we deplore the
lack of patriotism Of a few Of our ctti-
zens in riding on armed merchantmen
and thus imperiling the peace of our
nation, etc"
