Opposed to Skim Milk Cheese

Dodgeville Chronicle: The greatest
danger that is confronting the farmers
of the great dairy belt in Wisconsin is
the possibility of legislation that will
legalize the manufacture of skim milk
cheese and that the product be put on
the market and commercialized in the
same form as other standard brands.
Such law would not only reduce the
price Of cheese but it would demoralize
the industry. Write your member of
the legislature and be sure that he is
right on this question.

President Wilson paid high tribute
to the patriotism Of farmers, declar-
ing their work equally as important as
that of the soldiers in uniform. His
statement in part follows:
"To increase the price of wheat
above the present figure, or to agitate
any increase Of price, would have the
effect of very seriously hampering the
large operations Of the nation and of
the allies by causing the wheat of last
years crop to be withheld from the
market.
cit would moreover, dslOcate all
the present wage levels that have been
established after much anxious dis
cussion and would therefore create an
industrial unrest which would be harm
full to every industry in the country.
81 know the spirit of our farmers
and have not the least doubt as to the
loyalty with which they will accept
the present decision.
"In order to relieve the farming in
dustry as far as possible from further
drains of labor, the new draft regula-
tons have been drawn with q view to
taking from the farms an even small
er proportion of men, and it is my hope
that the local exemption boards VIII
make the new classification with
view to Tightening the load upon the
farmers to the utmost extent
"Thc federal railway administration
is cooperating in the most active, in
telligent and efficient way with the
food administration to remove the diff
ficulties of transportation, and of the
active movement Of the crops. Their
marketing is to be facilitated and the
famers given the opportunity to real
ize promptly upon their stocks"
