We wish we could get that great host of dairymen who have done 

 nothing to help along the cause to iead the foregoing statement. 



They are taking it very comfortably these winter evenings, while a 

 few are paying their own expenses at Washington fighting against this 

 great fraud. They can read the future fate of the dairy industry in the 

 fact that more of such concerns are spring up in various parts of the 

 country. 



Mr. Johnson: I would like to know why that tallow is quoted 

 today for 4c to 6c per pound, when before oleomargarine was made it was 

 quoted at from 7c to 9c, and lard is iiigher than before oleomargarine was 

 discovered. There is very little lard oil used in the manufacture of oleo- 

 margarine, isn't it true, tnat instead of the tallow being used to make 

 oleomargarine, that there is more lard and less tallow used, and should 

 we have those scruples you speak of. 



A. Yes, I think we should havj these scruples. It will take a bigger 

 man than I am to answer those questions. 



Q. What county did you say was teaching those lessens in the 

 common schools? 



A. Wayne county.
