GRADING OF CREAM TO BENEFIT ALL U. S.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS SAY: Quality Butter begins with Carefulness

COOLING & CLEANLINESS

Good Butter Will Help Win the War

American butter, already rated as the finest in the world, is to have its quality lifted still further. The new federal food act, supported by cream-grading laws in many states and by all elements of the dairy industry from farmer to manufacturer, makes this a certainty.

not so graded, the farmer who produced top quality cream would get no more than his careless neighbor who produced an inferior grade. The same laws prevent No. 2 cream from being mixed with No. 1, because when this is done, the quality of the butter made from it is all pulled down and everyone concerned suffers a loss. One can of poor cream can spoil a good many cans of top quality if they are all mixed together. If the cream is grading under No. 1, it is certain that the farmer submitting it is not observing all the principles of sanitation, quick cooling and frequent marketing. A change in his production or delivery practices will soon furnish the remedy. The farmer’s income will be steadied and he who exercises careful production and handling will then reap the rewards of his special attention and industry.

The new law has given impetus to the grading of cream similar to grades on which most other farm crops are sold. The supporting state statutes are intended to benefit the farmer who complies with their provisions and to penalize the farmer who is producing unfit cream because he will not go to the trouble of taking necessary sanitary precautions which would insure a better quality product. Cream-grading laws usually provide that if a farmer’s cream grades No. 1, it will command a higher price because it can be made into first-grade butter. If cream were

WHEN IS LOST?

when we give up, refuse to work hard, and believe it’s lost.

When the Navy Department released its account of the destruction the Japs did at Pearl Harbor, it said that the destroyer Shaw was totally lost. We even had pictures to prove it! In newspapers, newsreels and magazines the Shaw was officially lost.

Now comes word that the Shaw has arrived at a west coast port under her own steam. The ship that the Japs “sunk” not only floats! It’s crossed two thousand miles of ocean to get repairs that will send it back into the fight to lick the enemy! In that story there’s a lesson that every American must learn if we are to stop the Axis and save our freedom. We don’t know our own strength! We’ve got to wake up to the fact. We’ve got to shake off complacency and get to work and do the enormous, difficult job that the war has thrust upon us. It’s no good wishing for the good old days; no good wishing we were beating the Japs. We’re not, and here’s one time when wishing won’t make it so. We can’t win the war with day dreams. The “lost” Shaw is floating because men refused to believe the fact that she was lost. Instead of giving up, they went to work and they worked a miracle. Today the Shaw can become a symbol for every defeat we’ve suffered. For when is defeat permanent? When is lost really lost? Only
