should be more generally used and
not looked upon as an inferior article
and make shift for butter, when 1t
is really superior"
Mr.. Aswell in his speech, quoted
from a letter written by ]. Carter, Of
Gainesville, Ca, to this effect:
Il know from actual experience
cotton seed oil (high grade) added
to your milk when you churn makes
as good butter as you want. II the
legal distractions could be removed,
it would be a great blessing to this
country and the world at large. 1t
would be good time now, as butter
and fats are so scarce and high, to
have the law SO revised as to remove
the cause that prevents the use Of
cotton seed and peanut oils"
The South produces annually about
one billion and half pounds Of cot
ton seed oil and fifty million pounds
of peanut oil, both as good in the
form of butter, when properly pre-
pared, as they are as substitutes for
lard.
IF you are in favor of allowing the
butter trust to continue to make a
price for butter, or prefer to eat
the worked over and renovated
brands Of socalled butter, it will not
be necessary to write to your con.
gresham or senator and ask that
the law be changed to give our great
Southern products a chance In this
respect, but If you think otherwise
