Dairy Exports on Pre-War Basis

After holding the export bal
ance in foreign trade in dairy
products for almost eight years.
the United States again has re-
turned to her pre-war status.
with the import trade well in
the lead, according to the Sears
ROebuck Agricultural FOunda-
ton.
Until the beginning of the war
the balance of the dairy trade
had belonged to importing coun-
tries, due to the heavy ship
ments of foreign cheese. Dur
ing the war years butter exports
increased. The United States
became a large exporter Of con
densed milk and the cheese
trade changed from an import
to an export balance.
Since 1919 the current has
been gradually going again in
the opposite direction. In 1923
net imports of butter and cheese

than offset the condensed milk
exports, once more giving an
import balance of trade in dairy
products of practically the same
size as in pre-war years.
Last year the net imports of
butter were unusually heavy, to-
falling 100000 pounds, while
net imports of cheese eQualed
56,OOO,OO0 pounds, the largest
amount on record. In the last
five years dairying has made
rapid progress in foreign cOun-
tries. Denmark has more than
regained her pre-war position in
volume of output. Her exports
Of 242,0O0,00O pounds of butter
in 1923 were of record size.
With foreign countries gen
orally working for an increase
in production and looking for
new markets, American pro
ducers are meeting with strong
sr competition.
