throughout Western

Dairymen throughout Western
Washington have been experiencing a
slump in prices which is the most
disastrous they have experienced for
many years. The Bordens cut their
prices to 81 so for January. This was
reduction of As cents from January
of last year. The Pacific Coast people
did not strike farmers quite so badly
but allowed 81. 65 for January, fall
ing off of thirty cents from last year.
At this price and the high cost of
feed, dairying is not profitable except
with the best COWS. The cause Of
this great slump appears to be an over
production of condensed milk. Some
% big condensers were built last year
in the middle states, and more milk
was condensed than people had been
educated to use. All Of the big con-
densers of Western Washington have
installed skimming plants and are
separating the milk. The condenser
at Chehalis is separating practically
all its supply; the one at Kent about
one third and the ones at Mount
Vernon and Monroe nearly all Of their
supply. These condensers are owned
by the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk
Co., and the one at Auburn by Bor-
dens, who have also established big
Swimming plants. The throwing of
so much cream on the Seattle market
has caused slump in butter prices.
Both the Seattle and Tacoma milk
markets have also been affected and
dealers are offering about ten per cent
less than last year for milk. 1t is
believed this condition will not con-
tinue long and it is certainly hoped
that it will not.

Manager Lively, of the Portland
Union Stock Yards, has issued his
second annual report. 1t makes a
splendid showing and proves con-
siderable increase of business over the
preceding year. The report shows
that 5,844 cars of stock we're received
at the yards, an increase of 436 over
the preceding year. The most
notable increase was that of sheep.
an increase of over so per cent. This
proves that the mutton industry is a
growing one and a profitable one in
the Pacific Northwest. The only de-
crease reported was in the number of
cattle and calves. The fact that there
is a decrease in the number of calves
shipped to the block is an encourag
ing one and denotes that there is a
greater interest in the growing Of live
stock. No one thing has worked so
much good to the live stock industry
as the establishment of these yards,
as it not only gives market to the
producer but is in the control of men
who take an interest in boosting the
live stock industry of the Northwest.
