WAR HITS BADGER CHEESE
Decline in Cotton Market an Indirect
Cause of Drop in Prices of
Badger Product.

Madison.-Wisconsin cheesmakers
and the dairymen who supply them
with milk are being hit by the Euro
pean war. This is how E. H. Earring
ton, OF the University dairy depart
ment, explains the drop in prices paid
for Wisconsin cheese:
THE decline in the cotton market"
he says, has indirectly caused a drop
in market prices for Wisconsin cheese.
The South is the largest buyer of Wis
consln cheese, and hence, when the
cotton situation became acute the
leading buyers for the southern mar
kets stopped stocking upon flats, long
horns and daisies, which was reflected
in decidedly lower quotations in the
greatest cheese producing state in
the union
During the past few weeks there
has been a distinct difference notice
able between the average figures quot
ed for eastern cheese and the prices
current on Badger cheese. 1t happens,
however, that the home consumption
of cheese on the eastern markets is so
large that the price is kept nearer a
level the year around-,>while with west
ern cheese different conditions arise
that may affect the price consider
ably"

lege of agriculture of the university.
