WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1920
POSSIBLE MILK SHORTAGE.

The Massachusetts, department of ag-
rieulture has statistics showing there
are 5000 fewer milk cows in that state
now than there were a year ago. In
fact that state has fewer cows now
than it did I'm 1861, the number in 1861
being $40 900 and now 1851 In 1890
that state had 100000 COWS. A reduc-
ton of over 10000 cows in thirty years
is serious for Massachusetts which has
so many large industrial cities consum-
ing milk A Boston newspaper says a
similar reduction in the number of cows
is taking place in Rhode Island, Con
nccticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine If this be true the milk supply
Of all New England is being seriously
curtailed.
We are not sure there is any serious
reduction in the number of cows in
Vermont When the returns of the
l1isters are complete the facts will be
known 1t is evident that Vermont
was never selling so much whole milk
before and, if the reduction in cows
in other states continues, there will be
an increased demand for it. This pros
| pcct should lead to an increased pro
duction of milk in this state because
there is little probability milk will be-
much cheaper than at present. 1t can
/ l. 4 u. 1. -
duce milk and the demand for it is
not likely to be much less than now
Census returns show growth in nearly
every New England city that has beer
reported and that means the number
Of milk consumers is increasing. There
fore, an increased production of mill
in Vermont seems a wise business pol
icy.
The method of increased production
is important. Probably it will be ac
complshed by the development of bet
ter cows rather than by increasing TIL
number The best COWS show the mos
i profit and increased production witt
the most profitable cows certainly i
the cheapest method of increasing tn
milk supply The development of bet
ter cows cannot be instantaneous |
requires years of intelligent brcedin
and successful growing. These fact
tend to show the wisdom of commenC
ing at once preparations for supplyin
the shortage that the reduction of mil
herds in southern New England is sur
to bring.
