SUBSIDISED BUTTER.
Sir,l read with interest and hope Mr. Frank Colbeck's letter of last week, but he did not really go far enough. Fancy a class tax having been laid on the dairy farmers, not only to give the industrial worker cheap butter, but to let everyone who was not making it have it at less than cost, be they rich or poor. I well remember the city outcry a few years ago, about the dairy farmershow they made slaves of their wives and children milking cows for greed, it was imputed. But when this last and shameful wrong was done him and his. where, then, were the champions of farmers' wives and children. I suppose taking their share of sweated butter. An Old Woman.
