Last wing I addressed a couple or letters
to the piblid press upon this subject, with
%desire to call the attention' of farmers
and . the _public to the work the Ontario
Creameries Association had in hand, and
hoping thereby to incite some Interest in
the matter, not only among the farmers,
•but also those who handled the batter as
• middlemen, •as Well as • the consuming
pulalio.
With the scarcity of butter that is likely
to prevail in Ontario, thio winter, it is a
greet pity that we had not ten times the
number of creameries that now exist.
Again and again Ithas been stated in the
public press that the butter of Ontario,
judged as a whole,is a blot upon the fair
name of the agriculturists of Canada. It
has been---justly---claimed that. in the pro.
ductiOn'of cereals and !took Ontario enjoys
a reputation second to no ,other- country in
the world; but in the qnarity/of., her butter;'
