I think Mr. President I have talked long enough. I have nothing 

 more to say, and you know "we don't want too much water." 



DISCUSSI®N. 



Mr. Sawyer: I would like to know your object in giving us that 

 secret, that the Danes had the same trouble we didi; that they furnished 

 dirty milk to the factory? Myreasom for asking is this: We have the 

 impression here that we didn't furnish milk clean enough and that the 

 Danes had mighty nice clean milk. Your secret lets out the fact that 

 they have dirty milk. Are we to consider our milk is all right, or did 

 you simply say that to jolly us up a little? 



A. While in Denmark I knov;- that the creameries got milk in a 

 good enough condition to pastuerize. As an illustration. If today we 

 were to order pasturization to b e introduced in our creameries, I hon-

Q. Don't they as a whole market their best butter, and isn't it a 

 fact, taking it as a whole, that all the best butter from any country goes 

 into market. I am leaving out a few creameries from France? 



A. Yes, sir. 



Q. If they have dirty milk and sloppy waysi could they market sa 

 much butter of a high grade as their? 



A. Not if the dirty milk is delivered in as dirty condition as I am 

 sorry to say it is at a good many of our creameries where the patro'us 

 ought to know better, because when they have shipped milk to Chicago 

 they took better care of it than when taking it to the factory. If th&
