STATE DAIRYMEN
INCREASE HERDS

Dairymen about the state are in
creasing their daily herds, Leonard
H. -Healey, secretary of the state
board of agriculture said recently. He
finds that there are more milking
cows in the state now than at any
other time during the past two years.
He strongly urges that the people
drink more milk.
He feels that they do not realize the
food value of the milk or the raise
in price would not curtail it's use. De-
spite the fact that farmers are get
ting high prices for the product, he
says, the farmers are hardly breaking
even, and in many cases they are
producing milk at a loss.
This, he finds is due to the fact
that the farmers have to pay such
high prices for their grain, and find
it almost impossible to get the varie-
ties which will make a balanced ra-
ton for the cattle. Another drawback
is the scarcity of help.
This fact in itself he says, is enough
to force dairymen to give up their
business. In his opinion, the govern
ment made a great mistake when it
ordered the bakers to cut the amount
of skinned milk which they are to
use for each barrel of flour, from
ninety-six pounds to six pounds. In
one contractors sale alone in Boston,
it made difference of 10000 quarts
of SKINNED milk in a single week.

The prohibition advocates secur-

The prohibition advocates are
confident they have u majority to

opponents are hopeful that during
the coming weeks there may be de-

legislation.
