At the recent convention of the Eastern Dairymar’s Association held in Smith’s Falls, two exporters from Mon. treal were present. These gentlemen sounded an alarm which fell upon startled ears and has since been resounding with telling emphasis across the continent. It was uttered by Mr. Alexander in these words: “I am not here to smooth anything over, but to tell you the truth. During the past season Canadian cheese has gone back five years. Unsanitary surroundings, faulty cunng rooms and whey in the cans, are to blame for it and unless these things are remedied, Canada will not hold her own in the British market." lPatrons have urged that buyers will give no more for cheese that has not the whey taint and there is some force in the contention that a difference should be made in the price. That is the only appeal that will have any weight with many people. There is little doubt that such a difi'er- ence will be made next season, and that factories that send whey home in the cans will he starred. The exoorters are roused. The damage to cheese by carrying whey in the cans has been proved beyond doubt. Cheese that scores 45 points for flavor is perfect. In a recent test it was found that a number scoring 42 when made’fell to 38 in a month, and in two months to 33. The past swon’s Operations have taught exporters that cheese with the whey taint must not get the top price. Buyer Whitton give a suflicient warningtwhenhe declaredhe would give a sixteenth less. to such factories. But since that time this general alarm has been sounded and the whole Dominion is face to face with the same problem. It will be a live one with the buyers next season, and we are convinced that any factorv that does not arrange to keep whey out of the cans will pay dearly for it next summer. ‘ Year after year the buyers have come to the first sales bf the-VictoriarBoard with-Vigorous protests against draw- ing whey home in the cans. They have been met by the reply that contracts had been made with drawers and no change could be made that year. N ow this question is forced on the attention of the Board early enough to have the evil corrected, and it is hoped we have seen the last of whey in the milk cans of this county. _ I- A, LUWllo ' ' ' ' debatable stage, we pre- sented facts and arguments and endeavored to have it set- tled in a reasonable way.

We hold the same principle with regard to the lighting Question and no council can spurn the popular will and escape the most vigorous hostil ity we can bring to bear. It is time for a public meeting of citizens to censure this insolent defiance of their will and to unitedly take steps to off set the influences that are at work with the council.

They muSt be men who stand between and overlooking both the area of production and the area of consumption ; they must know the meadow and the market.
