that comes after that. Now what do the rules say shall consti- 

 tute '' extras.?' 



The first words upon which the inspecter is bound to base 

 his judgment in scoring this extra butter, say that * 'it shall be 

 butter of high, quick flavor, perfect body, good salt, reasonable 

 color and good package." Now, has a butter scorer the right 

 to go beyond that, which is laid down by one of the best and 

 largest commercial centers in the United States as constituting 

 perfect butter.? Not only this, but the creamery man has that 

 classification in his mind in making the butter for scoring. I 

 am afraid if Mr. Willson were in the commission business with 

 the theory he has, he wouldn't sell all the butter he could get, 

 because people demand high, quick flavored-butter, first and 

 foremost, and will have nothing else. You try to sell a tub of 

 butter that is ten days old, tell the customer that it is ten days 

 old, and he will say, "Here is a tub that is fresh, give 

 me some of that. We are in the business for profit to sell that 

 which will bring the most money. We want that kind of goods 

 from the creameries. » 



Mr. Willson: We have a feeling in Elgin that there are 

 men who want to buy the kind of butter I speak of and they go 

 into the market and they can't get it. 



Mr. Newman: I think it is only fair to this audience here 

 to explain that Mr. Willson is what we call riding a hobby just 

 at present; that is, the pastuerization theory. I don't say there 

 is anything wrong about it and we will all ride that hobby as 

 soon as we find out that it is what the people want. 



We make butter for the people, the citizens of the United 

 States and other countries to buy, and we have educated them 

 up through thirty years to this fine, high, quick-flavored butter 

 and we believe they like it, at least they keep ordering it, and 

 just as soon as Brother Willson has got his pastuerization along 

 far enough so that they demand it that way, we will make it 

 that way. 



Mr. Boyd: I want to ask the gentleman if he means that 

 when 5/0U have that high, quick, flavor, the bad taste always 

 accompanies it.
