CREAMERY AND
MARKET NEWS LETTER
Marketing Dairy Products in Season
OF Surplus Production.

I VI Sufptu@ itOuhSAohs
The season Of surplus production Of
milk is upon US and with it the mani
fold problems connected with the
efficient disposition or marketing Of
the milk and It's various manufactured
by-products.
Managers Of factories which ship
milk and cream and manufacture some
Of TIE various by-produets have more
difficult problems at this season than
the managers Of factories which manu-
facture only one product The fac
tories handling several Of the various
products must gurrd against "over-
selling" and at the same time they
must gauge their operations in ae-
cordance with the daily market de-
mands so that the best prices can be
obtained from all the products handl-
ed. The regular supply throughout
the year of any one of the various
products must be based on the supply
Of that product during the season Of
short production. Sometimes manag-
ers in their eageness to market their
products, whether it be milk or one Of
the by-products, during the season Of
surplus production are apt to agree to
sell the same quantity throughout the
year with the result that they lose the
confidence Of dealers when during the
season Of short production they are
unable to supply the product in the
quantities promised.
There is also tendency on the part
Of some factories TO contract to sell
milk and cream for period Of six
months or a year at prices which
though they seem fair and reasonable
at this time are much below their
market value during the short season.
Factories should be equipped with all
the apparatus necessary in converting
surplus milk or cream into products
which can be handled and sold to the
very best advantage. II is generally
highly desirable and profitable to man.
ufacture surplus cream into high
quality unsalted butter to be used or
reconstructed into sweet cream during
the summer months when the demand
exceeds the supply; butter, as a rule
can be stored for future sale at q
fair profit to the factory and surplus
milk manufactured into cheese and
held for future sale.
Successful managers are those who
study their local con iitions and are
well informed on the market conditions
so stat the best prices are obtained
through their knowledge and skill in
converting the surplus milk into pro-
ducts in greatest demand
