A red streak flashed down the limb

That was the squirrel. A fraction OF

DAIRY
FACTS
DISP0SlNG OF MILK SURPLUS
Conditions Likely to Exist In Well.
Developed Dairy Districts
During Summer.

<Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
For the first time since the begin
ming of the World war there is devel-
oping in this country a surplus Of
milk, according to reports recently
received by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Specialists Of
the department state that this condi-
ton probably will be only temporary
during the flush" of the season, and
that 1t is most apparent In well-de-
velOped dairy districts. 1t may con-
tinue during the summer months, but
10 expected to adjust itself by fall,
when demand will overtake the sur
plus Of supply. The situation is large
ly due to the falling OF in the demand
for milk In the manufacture Of con-
densed products, milk powders. casein,
and similar products, for which there
was large export outlet.
The department points out the adj
Visibility Of using as much milk as
possible, In fluid form and otherwise,
as human food. Within the last
generation an increased knowledge Of
the value Of milk in the diet has re-
suited in an almost doubled per cap
ita consumption of milk, and con-
sumers who purchase milk freely
thereby encourage production. This
is believed to be the best safeguard
against milk shortage and high
prices resulting from the withdrawal
of dairymen from the business during
periods of large production and low
farm prices for milk.
But when the limit Of human utili-
cation is reached dairy producers nee
essarily must, decide how to dispose
of the remainder. In many cases this
will be q decision between selling
whole milk. selling cream, or even to
use a moderate Quantity of whole
milk for feeding, especially to young
animals. In any event, more liberal
use of milk on farms should reduce
the surplus, even though not solving
the problem entirely.
AS a guide to persons deciding t.
utilize surplus milk as a live stock
feed, the department makes the fol
lowing recommendations, which may
be supplemented with literature Is
sued by the department:
Milk from dairy herd which Is moi
