The sales of cheese on Wisconsin
dairy boards in 1911 shows a falling
off of over 100000 pounds from the
sales of 1910, dut to the fact that dur
ing a part of the summer a smaller
number of factory men offered their
cheese on the boards and to the short
age in the make during the fall
months, due to the poor pasturage and
the high price Of Feeds.
The year 1910 was one Of extreme
ly high prices and a disastrous one
for many wholesale dealers who lost
thousands of dollars.
