GREAT PROSPECTS FOR TRADE IN
CALIFORNIA CREAMERY PRODUCTS

California Is entering and has en-
tered 6 new era in dairying, says the
Pacific Rural Press. We have until
recently been depending upon local
markets to take nearly all Of our but
ter and make our dairy prices. soon
we will have to ship 50 much butter
abroad that our prices will be made
there. The question Of supreme inl-
.portance to the dairyman and pros
pective dairyman is, What money will
there be in dairying them"
Two questions are possible. II the
present output is very greatly in
creased and the quality of butter is
no greater than at present, 1t will
mean poor prices and small profit IN
dairying. ii the quality improves as
it is now improving, our output can
be Increased several times over TO
the utmost production possible, and
the markets will be good and only
good This answer is not made to
boom dairying: it is based on sound
facts.
The reason that improved quality is
essential is the nature Of our future
trade. The butter exported Will either
be storage butter, put up III spring
and sold elsewhere al winter prices.
or will have to endure the strain of
long shipment, perhaps to a warmer
climate. In neither case can any but
the cleanest Favored and best keep
nS butter be used without deterior
sting and breaking down prices. Good,
clean butter can stand shipment and
storage and come out in first class
condition for quick use, and bring 4
very good price.
There is lots of butter that can be
used within short time after manu-
facture and taste all right. but yet
it contains elements that will destroy
its quality before long. This cannot
be shipped or stored at a profit as il
will be of poor quality before it can
be marketed. Therefore. if lot Of
butter Of this kind is produced it will
have TO be used at home and will
break down our prices, provided Cali
fornia gets to be such a dairying state
that home production is much more
than home demand. and that is The
reason why disaster Will result if i'm
srovement does not occur. Only about
One-third Of the CalifUrna butter can
now stand long shipment or long Stur-
age and come out in first class con
aitiOn. which il too small proper

BIRTH RATE ALARMS FRANCE

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The birth rate of
France was lower by more than i24,-
900 in 1914 than in 1901. Louis
klotZ, minister of finance, stated this
fact to the commission on depOpula-
ton at its first session, and added:
military inferiority, economic in
feriority and the elimination of the
power of France in the world will
sooner or later be the inevitable con-
sequences of the sterility of our ma
ton"
Nj. KlOtZ declared that the figures
were most diSquieting.. The number
Of births last year was only 1i2.ii4
in the whole of France, against S51,-
PA a decade ago. In two years, he
said, the deaths actually exceeded the
births. This was a sad state Of things
and a danger to the country, placing
France in situation of inferiority in
comparison with the other great ma
tions. The lower biarth rate, while a
perpleXing phenomenon among all civ
iliZed people, was, he said, a greater
problem in France than elsewhere. The
births, he concluded, exceeded the
deaths in 1910 in Germany by S19,ii3
in Austria Hungary by 573, $50, in
Great Britain by 4i3.779. and in Italy
ny iGl,11i. but in France by only H.

government and private measures taken
in the past to help parents of large
families, 10 limit the hours Of work OF
women about to become mothers. and
to reduce infant mortality. 1t was ne
cessary, he said, to study these ana
olher factors, including the evil ef-
fccts Of alcohol.

but the sugar makers are not in such
a favorable position as last year. owing
to the lower lcyel Of prices Weather
conditions in California have not been
all that could be desired, but in Colo
radp practically the entire season has
been ideal for the growing of the beeis
and the development Of the saccharine
contents. All The factories in the north
ern part of the state have been work
ing up heets for number of weeks
and thus far the yield has averaged
over ~ tons an acre. Grand Junction
factories expect to pay out total Of
$500, 900 to beet growers Of that dis
trict. In Idaho and Indiana also con
ditiOnS have been favorable and there
have been rumorS Of several new fac
tories being built for the next season
The owners Of the plant at Gardei
City. Kan. expect TO work up about
10000 tons of beet sugar. Tonnage in
Emmett county. Iowa, is running be
tween 10 and 30 tons an acre. although
this is the first season heets have beer
grown there on a large scale. At Bill

California Advantages

The advantages of California III
dairying come in two ways: produc-
ton and marketing. With rich soil,
abundant irrigation supplies, and eli
mate that provides an easy and cheap
method of securing large winter pro

favored in abundant, inexpensive and
