Description	The “Oleo Wars”: This article describes the century-long conflict between Wisconsin’s dairy interests and the margarine industry. It examines market forces, state and federal legislation, and consumer behavior (including interstate smuggling) from the 1870s through 1960s. It discusses the Wisconsin Dairymen’s Association, the first federal restrictions on margarine in 1886, and a 1902 bill whose prohibitions on margarine colored to resemble butter lasted for decades. It explains why state and federal restrictions intensified during the Depression, and then relaxed after World War Two (though Wisconsin maintained tougher laws that led to smuggling). Individual discussed in significant details include William Dempster Hoard (1836-1918), William Wallace Grout (1836-1902) of Vermont, James Earl Leverich (b. 1891) Gordon Roseleip (b. 1912), and Martin J. Schreiber (b. 1939). (12 pages)
