PREDICTS GAIN
IN j. S. CHEESE
INDUSTRY
Dr.. A. ]. Swaving, of Holland,
Is Here to Attend World
Dairy Congress.

interests Of the cheese makers
will be carefully considered at the
sessions of the Worlds Dairy Con-
gress Association when it convenes
for it's seventh annual meeting here
October 2 and 8. The Congress will
be attended by Representatives OF
dairying interests from all sections
of the world.
DR.. A. j. Swaving, official dele
gate from Holland, chief inspector
OF the dairy division OF the general
direction of agriculture, the Hague,
arrived here yesterday, and Is max
ing his headquarters at the Frank
lin Square Hotel. In discussing the
cheese industry in America and
comnarinr II with that OF European
countries famed for the quality OF
their cheese products, he said:
'sCheese Is one of the most valu-
able of dairy products, a product
for which there is an ever increas-
ing demand both in Europe and
am sure in America also.
Diary Products Gain.
"As populations increase all dairy
products come into greater demand
owing to their cheapness and food
values as compared with other food
products. While all of the cheese
producing countries OF Europe ex.
port cheese to America, the
otiantfty disposed OF in that way is
negligible compared with that going
to home consumption.
america exports very little
cheese to Europe. There is no
reason, however, why American
cheese should not be made as fine
"a the finest produced elsewhere.
Once the making of cheese is prop
erly understood such a result seems
certain"
American milk is, on the aver
age, slightly richer in fats than
q European milk This is DUE
DR.. Swaving states, to the differ
ence in stock feed. American cat
tie enjoy "a stronger food, says
Or. Swaying.
With this advantage In the favor
OF the American cheese maker, 1T
was said, 1t only remains for him
to acquire the art OF cheese max
ing to supply product even SUI
perior to that of Europe, except
where the cheese is produced from
milk obtained by specially fed
gtantlv under development in lJol-|
land, Sweden, Switzerland and Nor
way.
While strenuously insisting on
the supervision of diaries by gov
eminent, State and local authori-
ties, Dr. Swaving warned against
the passing of prescriptions. =
rules and regulations, difficult, II
not impossible to enforce.
Few Laws Best.
I'VE do not have as many laws
governing dairying in Europe as.
you seem to have here. said. sit
II wiser to pass a few good laws
which can be enforced and gradu-
ally add to them as the farmers
and others engaged in milk pro-
duction and dairy products become
educated to the advantages insured.
than to pass prescriptions you cam
not enforce"
'1Dairying in all of it's branches
Is a science said Dr. Swaying,
which is demanding greater at
tention in America than ever be-
fore. see no reason, considering
all the conditions, why America
will not become the foremost dairy
ing country in the world, not alone
because of the enormous quantity
OF production, but also because of
the high standard of the products"
Conditions in Europe are resp0n-
sfble for the conference being held
here this year declared DR.. SWAY
ing. Besides the sessions here,
meetings will be held in PhiladeI-
phia. October 4, and at Syracuse,
N. z. October to 10.
