GREAT DEMAND FOR RABBIT
PELTS is REPORTED
One Eastern Concern Announces 1t Ii
In Market for Ten Million
skins.

WASHINGTON. Nov. In recent
years several kinds of fur, formerly
of SO little value as to OFFER no induce
ment to the trapper. have been raised
in price, and consequently collecting
them has been made profitable. Rab-
bit pelts. which are extensively used
by hat makers. are among these
products. One Eastern concern has
announced that 1t will need 10000. 900
rabbit skins during 1919 and 1920,
and il desires as far as possible to
secure them from American sources.
This is an indication Of market
which should interest many a farmer
boy. This fall and winter dried, cased
rabbit skins will probably bring 4 rea-
sonably good return. They arc sold
by the pound. which will contain seven
or eight skins. Many farm boys can
readily acquire. in the course OF the
winter. large numbers of skins which
will net them tidy sum and. in ad-
dition. they will have the pleasure Of
trapping experience.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture will supply any inquirer
with the names and addresses of pos
sihle purchasers of rabbit skins and
other peltS.

DAIRY PRODUCTS EXPORTED
REACH GREAT VOLUME
In Various Forms Aggregate Is ..
550,O00,O0O Pounds OF

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-During 1914
the United States exported only 7O0.-
100000 pounds Of milk in the form
of butter and cheese and no condensed
milk. The war worked wonders. how
ever. in developing our foreign trade
because OF the curtailment in domestic
supplies of the allies and importations
from Dre-waI sources.
During 1919 the United States
shipped abroad G20.0oO.0OO pounds of
milk in the form of butter l6O. 600. 900
pounds OF milk in the form Of cheese.
and 1.77O.0o0,o00 pounds of milk as
condensed milk. total of $3.50. OOO, 600
pounds of milk as dairy products used
for foreign shipment.
For comparisons sake these amounts
have all been reduced to pounds of
milk. Previously such exports were
generally expressed in pounds Of but
ter or cheese and cans OF condensed
milk.
Indicative Of the fact that the United
States did not supply foreign countries
with all the dairy products it pro-
duced during the war the factory pro-
duction OF butter during 1918 amount
cd to 1913, 2Ss.3o1 pounds, while the
