MORE HYsTERIA As TO MILK.

Very little evidence has come out as yet
In Vermont that dairy herds are being
reduced because of the high prices of
feed. Good pasturage even now is af-
forded in many sections of the State.
In Chittenden the killing off OF cows for
beef was specifically denied at the recent
county meeting in Essex Junction under
the auspices of the New England Milk
Producers association and the question
Of whether good mich cows or calves
were being slaughtered, or sent to Bos-
ton and vicinity to be cut up, was scarce
~ considered.
The association. in at least two Of its
bulletins, confuses the Strengthening OF
calves and mich cows as reasons for
killing Of calves win Of course affect milk
production. but it does not do so now.
and is irrelevant to the question Of the
price of milk. Too many calves are being
killed. hut the best way to stop that as
Miss Bertha NJ. Terrill, professor Of home
economics at the State university. told
an audience of women at the city hall, is
for housewives to boycott veal.
This city has seen one advance in the
price Of milk. and will be willing to
accept another when necessary. But with
the need Of buying feed steadily abating.
another boost in prices is not demanded.
Maintenance Of prices at their present
level, in Vermont at least, amounts to
an increase. for they are normally
lowered by the producing associations
during tho summer months.
