The tentative plan is to have q cal
lot shipping point in each district. The
principal aims Of the state association
are: 'it -.
First-To have the state divided into
districts so that car lot assembling OF
butter for shipment can be made
Hugh J. Hughes, marketing director
OF the Department of Agriculture, es.
Inmates that 500 car load net can
be saved butter producers in freight
charges alone by getting the carload
rates. That would mean considerably
more than the $155,0O0 expense given
as the maximum cost Of the state as
sociation machinery. J.
Second-To standardize grades and
improve quality, That is so the con-
sumer will knowwhat kind of butter
he will receive. The cooperative
creameries now sell under different
brand names and person does not
know just what kind of butter he will
get when he buys 9ther than butter
put out by large concern. II Mime

load lots and the expense of middle
men would be reduced to a minimum.

reduce the tax on oleomargarile from
