DAIRY PRODUCTS
MADE ANDLABELED
BY ASSN. IS PLAN

Manufacture of dairy products un-
der a farm label and with a guar
antee signed by the Maricopa County
Farm Bureau and the Arizona Indus
trial Congress in a creamery owned
and operated by the association is
one of the purposes of the proposed
dairy cooperative marketing asso-
citation, now in process of formation
in Maricopa county, Fred TAFT, presi-
dent of the Maricopa County Farm
Bureau, announced last night.
Mr.. Tait's statement was made in
talk in which he pointed out the
urgent necessity for the organization
of the four commodity marketing as
soc1ations. He recited several in
stances within the past few months
wherein the farmer suffered because
of lack of organization and asserted
that conditions will grow worse in
stead of better unless the producer
takes some action to safeguard his
own interests.
Regarding the dairying situation,
Mr.. TAFT said that Maricopa county
butter was bringing the lowest price
of all buffers offered on the Phoe-
nix market at the time of his inves-
tigation. 80 days ago. At that time,
he declared, Maricopa butter was
bringing 80 cents the pound as COM
pared with 40 cents for Kansas but
ter and As cents Cor Imperial valley
butter
II also investigated a rumor con-
corning the importation of butter
which has gone long way toward
prejudicing the local consumer
against the home product" Mr. TAFT
asserted.
The cooperative diary associa-
ton, when organization is COM
pleted, proposes to make its own
butter and put it on the market
under its own farm label. This but
ter would carry a. guarantee from
the farm bureau and the Arizona In
dustrial Congress that it is made
from absolutely guaranteed tubercu-
lin tested COWS in a creamery in
which cleanliness is the by-word.
Recent investigations conducted
by the state dairy commissioner and
the dairy department of the Univer-
sity of Arizona showed that samples
of MaricQpa county butter, identified
by number only, scored higher than
any other butter available on the
Arizona markets." Mr.. TAFT con-
tinued.
"Therefore( it stands to reason
that there is no foundation for the
prejudice against this home pro-
duct: that it is just as good but
ter as is to be had and therefore
should bring an equal price The
producer should benefit from this
price elevation and we plan to pro-
tect him through manufacture by the
cooperative association.
