lition. The price of these tanks I 

 )ing attachment, is $12.00 deHv- 



hold two ten gallon cans in addi 

 with the two small cans and piping 

 ered to nearest station to purchaser. 



While there has been a number of these tanks sold, there 

 has not been one-tenth as many sold as should have been, be- 

 cause creamerymen have not paid a premium for good cream. 

 Butter is sold according to grade, and why not buy cream ac- 

 cording to grade? The only reasons I can see are because of 

 the fierce competition in cream buying and the lack of confidence 

 the manufacturers have in each other in staying by the grading 

 system. I had a call from a firm in South Africa for prices on 

 2,000 of these tanks a few days ago. I did not quote him price? 

 as the distance was so great, but sent him blue prints so that 

 they could manufacture their own tanks. It seems that these 

 people realize the necessity of properly caring for their cream. 



Owing to the fact that there has been an unusual demand 

 for butter the last year or two, quality has not been as important, 

 as I said before, as it will be in the near future, so it behooves 

 everybody interested in the dairy business to put their shoulder 

 to the wheel and try to improve dairy conditions in our country. 

 This can best be brought about by general co-operation." (Ap- 

 plause).
