INCREASED
COST OF MILK

The rapid increase in the cost of
grain, the scarcity Of labor, and the
present price of milk are causing
many dairymen to sell their cows for
beef and discontinue the business.
The New Jersey Agricultural Exper-
iment Station recently obtained da-
ia from 160 herds in Sussex County,
representing 1856 cows, which show
that it costs almost so per cent. more
to produce milk at present than it
did in 1914. On the other hand. the
price of milk has not increased in
the same proportion. Grain has in
creased in price approximately 80 per
cent. labor so per cent. and other
costs to lesser degree The cost Of
milk per quart in Sussex Countv at
present is approximately 5.53 cents,
while for South Jersey this cost is
one-ftth to one-third and in some To-
calities one-half greater. This is
leading to the disbanding of the dairy
u,uuotIy Ill tuo SOutnern part or the
state. The reasons for increased cost
of milk in South Jersey are war
mer climate, higher-priced land, less
good pastures, increased cost Of feed,
and smaller production of milk per
COW. spE
Unless the price received by the
producer is raised, the supply of
milk will necessarily be decreased
Should this continue too long, it may
create a very embarrassing situa-
tion. The supply of staple food
such as milk should not be allowed
to decrease to such an extent that
there would be shortage.
