and DR.. NJ. r. Hales. supervisor
OF livestock and dairying.
Under the 1889 law creating the
commission. which went into effect
June Z, the commission can levy
up TO fifth Of cent tax on each
pound Of butterfat produced in the
state. Indications were, however,
that the commission would not
charge more than tenth or TWEEN
tieth of cent until the program
gets more fully underway.
Washington annually pro-
duces 100000 pounds of
butterfat, which would bring
the commission $4,000 for its
work at a twentieth of a cent,
or S12O, 900 at the maximum of
fifth of a cent.
The law contemplates the money
shall be used to advertise milk and
dairy products within this state.
II and when a sufficient number
of other states provide similar leg
islation, the Washington commits
sion was authorized to join with
them in national advertising
campaign. Dairymen about the
state already voluntarily contribute
$4,000 R year for national adver-
Using, Robinson said.
The commissioners will draw $40
a day while in actual session. They
will elect a manager, chairman
and secretary-treasurer, to help
carry out the work.
