AID FARMERS

Organized merchandising has
again come to the assistance of one
of the most important groups of
producers In Annerica-the dairy
farmers.
This new campaign is designed to
help move present huge stocks of
surplus butter into channels of dis
tribution. The National Cooperative
Milk Producers Federation was The
moving spirit in getting the cam
paign started. 1t applied to the Ma
tional Association of Food Chains,
and the Independent Distributors
Council, representative of local re-
tail grocers, for cooperation. Both
groups agreed promptly.
The campaign started in mid-No-
vember. It is to continue through
December and January, and one
week in each of those months is to
be given to extra intensive effort to
move butter.
The chain stores and the indepen-
dent stores of the country are COM
petitors-but they gladly get togeth-
er when agriculture needs their
assistance. In the present |
case, if the great surplus butter
stocks are not moved, farmers |
throughout the country must absorb !
great losses. The cooperating retail /
ers have planned an inclusive cam
paign. Many sales-promotiOnal aids
are employed. including newspaper

lets, and wcrd-of-T~ outh suggestionl

propriated by butter and dairy in
terests all over the country,
The week of December 8-14 has
been set aside for special selling eff
forts in retail stores, at which times
customers will be met with the sug-
gestion that they buy and use extra
butter. This will be followed by a
similar week of extra merchandising
effort, from january 1918.
Back of this campaign are found
dairy marketing cOoperatives repre-
sented by the National Cooperative
Milk Producers Federation, with
headquarters at Washington, large
butter manufacturers and dealers,
hundreds of local creameries, the
National Association of Food Chains
and numerous groups Of privately
owned and Independent food stores.
Government reports show that on
November /, 1888, there were 193,-
1000 pounds of butter in storage
in this country. The five year (1933-
1887 inclusive) average storage sun
ply on November 1 was 1918 lbs, |
a difference of 74.603,000 pounds of
butter, which amounts to an excess /
supply of just about ten ounces per
person.
Experts in butter merchandising
express the opinion that in order to /
maintain a sound butter price |
structure next season, the present !
large supply must be reduced to an
approximately normal level within
the next two months. The prices re- /
ceived by all dairymen are dependent :
largely upon butter prices. With one
quarter OF the national farm income
coming from dairy products. the re-
alton of butter prices to farm pros
Derity, and in turn to national nros-
)erity, is obvious.

Letters To The Ed
A MESSAGE TO THE NEGROES
OF KING COUNTY

Due to the fact that am going
to be candidate for State Sena-
tor on the Democratic Ticket from
the 37th Legislative District in the
September 10 primary, several dis
guntled voices are going hither
and there among the Negroes stat
ing that 1 was in favor of oppress-
ing them. This gossip is malicious
SANDER intended to antagonize the
Negro to vote against me in the
Primary Election.
My observations during the past
eight years have convinced me, be-
yond shadow of a doubt, that the
Negroes of King County have been
exploited by all political seekers
for office, that before the ink be-
comes dried on the ballot the Ne
groes are then of no further value
to the office holders until another
election appears on the horizon.
We are about to enter into an
other political battle in which you
will again be called upon to sup
port these same exploiters who are
now so laboriously attacking me.
The promises they made you in
the past have proven fruitless, they
failed you when in the hour of
need you called upon them for as
sistance. I ask each and every one
of you how many times must you
be fooled before you realize these
facts?
Naturally, need your support
and will sincerely appreciate the
efforts made in my behalf by the
votes that will be given me thru
my many good friends, but never
will it become my policy to make
promises that 1 know 1 cannot full
fill. I will promise you this, when
elected to the office of State Sc
nator, it them becomes my duty
under the Constitution to support
the Negroes on all issues that are
humane and deserving by the Citi-
zenry as a whole.

WHITE RACE MUST
BEAR WHOLE BLAME

am sorry he allowed his jubi-
lation over the victory of one of
his race to place him under con-
demnation, but I can't get away
from the thought that, after all,
my race must bear the blame for
it.
If he looks on me as his oppres-
sor, racially he is right, but per-
sonally he is wrong. I do not de-
sire any right which he cannot en-
joy on equal terms.
The talk about social equality is
nonsense. The Negro does not
want it. There is no such thing as
social equality among the white
people. They have their social
qualification and so does the Ne
gro. That is a mere hypocritical
way of avoiding the real question.

cause of the bad feeling which is

idea. I have not the smallest OBJ
lection to colored man being

is just as much an American as l
am, and if 1 felt that the matter
had any sort of national signifi-
canoe my sympathies would be
with him.
The heavyweight championship

The superiority which it estab-
fishes does not seem to me to be
an important sort of superiority
except to those people whose finan-

that there is not the smallest evil
