An Eye Single to Profits
Means Decreased Production

This method is fraught with several
dangers for the consuming public. First,
its chief interest is profits. Neither is
it so much interested in keeping up the
maximum milk production, which means
cheaper milk for us, so much as it is in
making a good profit on what it does
sell. The pressure on the farmers under
the present method has resulted in the
raising of $4,000 less heifer calves in
New York State this year, and last year
it was % per cent less than the year be-
fore In Orange County alone twenty
five carloads of beautiful dairy cattle
have been shipped for slaughter between
the first and the ninth of this month,

best dairymen in that district. This
pressure, with its resultant reduction of
the milk output, means higher prices.

effective public control over private
