_ Southern Congressmen and Oleo. 
Why do Congressmen from the Southern 
States favor oleo when their section needs 
the dairy industry so badly? 
The South does not produce butter enough 
for its own use, and buys large quantities 
from the butter-producing sections of Illi¬ 
nois and other States. Congressmen from 
the_ butter buying States naturally think 
their States will be benefited by keeping 
the price of butter as low as possible. If 
this is the truth of the matter 1 think they 
are “shortsighted”—seeing the dime close 
by but not the dollar a little farther off, 
for surely higher priced butter would lead 
to the establishment of much needed and 
profitable dairies throughout the South. 
Kentucky. f. e. aspinwall. 
The Southern and Southwestern States 
are large producers of cotton and beef, from 
the by-products of which oleomargarine is 
made. Southern Congressmen as a rule 
favor the removal of the 10-cent tax on 
colored oleomargarine either from an honest 
belief that such removal would enable the 
cotton and beef producers of the South to 
obtain better prices for these products, or 
for the purpose of hoodwinking their con¬ 
stituents into the belief that they are advo¬ 
cating a measure which would inhere to 
their benefit, without fully realizing the 
great menace which such a measure would 
be to the dairy interests of the South, 
which are now almost in their infancy and 
need every encouragement and safeguard 
thrown about them within the bounds of 
justice and prudence to foster their devel¬ 
opment. Personally I do not believe that 
anyone except the makers of oleomargarine 
would be benefited by the removal of this 
tax unless at the same time all coloration 
of same in imitation of butter is positively 
prohibited, for as long as oleo is permitted 
to be colored in imitation of butter it will 
be sold as butter in spite of all laws to 
the contrary and if the 10-cent tax is re¬ 
moved the manufacturers will sell the pro¬ 
duct at the same old price, which will be 
just as close to the price of butter as he 
can get and pocket the 10 cents himself. 
If the oleo manufacturer thinks he is dis¬ 
criminated against by the 10-cent tax and 
really wants to give a square deal as well 
as receive same at the hands of Congress 
and the dairy interests, let him quit color¬ 
ing his product at all and sell it on its 
own merits and neither the dairy interests 
or Congress should then object to a re¬ 
moval of all tax on it. But this is not 
what he wants or is after in importuning 
Congress to come to his aid. What he is 
after is to continue to color his product 
without paying the 10-cent tax, so he can 
still sell it in competition with and as 
butter, and pocket the extra profit. I am 
in the dairy business and make butter, yet 
I would favor the abolition of all tax on 
oleo provided all coloration of same was 
positively prohibited, and after this was 
done if the oleo people still thought they 
were discriminated against in prohibiting 
coloring of oleo and permitting coloring 
of butter to its normal color, I would not 
object to a bill prohibiting all coloring of 
both butter and oleo, so I think in the 
views above expressed I cannot be charged 
with either selfishness, prejudice or injus¬ 
tice by the manufacturers of oleo. 
Texas. m. m. offdtt. 
We are only able to speak for conditions 
in this State, and while it is a fact that 
our Congressmen appear to be in opposition 
to the dairy interests, we believe this is 
caused by the cattle interests being so well 
organized. This State has only within the 
past two years began to take much interest 
in dairying and the creamery men do not 
seem to consider the fact that their busi¬ 
ness is in danger if this present tax on 
oleomargarine is removed. We believe this 
is the sentiment throughout the Southern 
States. Much northern butter is shipped 
into this State during the Autumn and 
Winter months, because Texas farmers have 
not as yet learned the value of small farms 
and the dairy cow. We are glad to say, 
however, that these conditions are being 
rapidly overcome, and it is a question of 
only a few more years when Texas w.il 
rank well in comparison with some of the 
older dairy States in the quality and pro¬ 
duction of butter. 
Texas. NISSLEY CREAMERY company. 
Figuring on a Creamery 
We have had a good deal to say about 
creamery sharks and the failure of coopera¬ 
tive creameries pay out. The National 
Department of Agriculture has now taken 
up this matter, and has investigated the 
creamery business. It finds that failures 
are due to a lack of capital, poor organiza¬ 
tion and excessive cost of building an equip¬ 
ment. Many of these creameries have cost 
twice their actual worth and were not then 
suited to the locality. No creamery of this 
kind should be started unless it can depend 
on the milk of 400 cows or more. The cost 
of a creamery building 24x48 feet will vary 
from $1,000 to $1,800, depending on local¬ 
ity, construction and cost of materials. The 
machinery for a gathered cream plant with 
a capacity of 600 pounds of butter will cost 
$1,200, so that the total cost of a creamery 
including the full outfit, but not arti. ficial 
refrigeration, will vary from $2,200 up. 
There are plenty of cases where the cream 
ery sharks or promoters have built just 
such a creamery and charged the farmers 
$4,000. Such creameries go to pieces in a 
short time, usually through lack of capital, 
and jealousy among the members. The dif¬ 
ference between what the creamery ought 
to cost and what the promoters charge 
would make abundant capital, and the work 
and study required to organize the cream¬ 
ery at home among neighbors and friends 
would give the necessary organization. The 
Department is ready to supply plans and 
specifications to those who intend building. 
No one therefore should think of giving his 
business into the hands of a promoter with¬ 
out sending to Washington for advice.
