CROP SITUATION
over NORTHWEST

st. Paul.-Liberal rains over
most of the Northwest the past
week have vastly improved crop
! conditions, but have caused wheat
prices to sag to practically the
low levels of the year, the Farm
ers Union Terminal association
says in its weekly crop report.
with the government spring
wheat condition put at S5.7 per
cent in the June report, or the
lowest for that month since 1867
with six exceptions, there may be
a real surprise for private crop
experts when acreage figures in
the Northwest are first announc-
3D." the review says. Acreage
figures have not been announced
and probably will not appear un-
til July 10. A substantial cut in
acreage is indicated by private
crop reports and should this re-
duction average 10 per cent, it
might mean a decline in yield of
spring wheat of 25 to 80 million
bushels below normal.
"In 1928 the wheat production
in the Ninth Federal Reserve dis
trict was 291 million bushels.
That was more like a normal year
than 1929, when output in the
Northwest declined 108 million
bushels. The latest government
winter wheat crop report indicat-
ed a decline Of more than SO mil
lion bushels as compared with
1929 for the Southwestern states.
Should the first spring wheat &C
reage report forecast a decrease
of 80 million bushels in produc-
ton due to acreage, thus indicat-
ing a cut of 80 million bushels in
1880 total wheat yield, the pres
ent carryover might be not o n
strued so bearish.
practically every section of
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana
and northern South Dakota has
been visited by rains and now
has a fair reserve or moisture.
Crop conditions, however, are
rather spotted, due to damaging
high winds. Flax and other late
sown crops suffered more than
the early rains. In some districts,
particularly around Maddox, N.

their flax the second time. AS a

about 20 per cent of the total of
creamery butter produced for the
year.
There is a direct relationship be-
tween the use of butter and oleo,
and that when the use of one in
creases, that of the other decreases.
To show how this works: 1929
showed a decrease of O.3 of a pound
in the consumption of butter per
person. At the same time the use
of oleo increased O.29 of a pound
per person.
In terms of butter the product of
about 100000 cows is displaced by
oleo, and this just about equals the
total number of cows in Minnesota.
1T is a great deal better for the
dairy industry" says a prominent
authority in reviewing the situa-
ton, ito have good and abundant
volume of butter flowing into the
market at fair price all the time,
than to have restricted output, a
high price of butter of so cents or
more, an extravagant price for but
terfat. There is a point above
which the consumer always rebels,
and that point seems to be about
/ so cents a pound for butter"

Butter Ouerproduction Largely A
Myth---The Use of Ole Increases

Among the several explanations
offered for the low butter fat prices
which have prevailed this winter
has been the easy and seemingly
logical argument that there has
been an over-production' of butter.
Without investigating figures of
the number of dairy cows, the
amount of butter and butterfat pro-
duced, this explanation seems en-
tirely correct.
But proof of the justice and
value of the campaign which Min
nesota newspapers have waged
against the use of oleomargarine
can be seen in the following story
published by Charles F. COLLISION,
Minneapolis Tribune farm editor,
who impressed members of the
Hutchinson Cooperative Creamery
association with his intimate
knowledge of farm conditions when
he addressed their annual meeting
recently.
The editors of The Leader, proud
to have been one of the very first
newspapers in Minnesota and
probably in the United States, to
make a survey of oleomargarine in
the community which it serves,
publishes Mr.. Collisions story to
prove the wisdom of their cam
paign against the use of butter
substitutes:

whole.
Butter made in 1928 was $4,000, 900
pounds less than in 1927. The
creameries made 100000 pounds
less and the farm production fell
off 100000 pounds, besides.
In Minnesota, the greatest butter
making state in North America, the
make" of the creameries was near
ly 100000 pounds. less in 1928 than
in the year before.
During 1929, according to the
report of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics, all the but ,
ter made in the United States
was only two-tenths of one per
cent more than in 1928. In
pounds, it amounted to only 49,
100000 more.
But the consumption of but
ter last year fell off 25,7OO,OO0
pounds, or IL per cent less than
in 1928. The entire production
of butter on farms and in
creameries amounted to 2,O93,-
$4,000 pounds in 1929; in 1928,
it was 2,O77, O49,0OO pounds. The
consumption was ,054,575, 900
pounds in 1929; in 1928 it was
2,0s0, $4,000 pounds.
These enormous figures give some
idea of the magnitude of the dairy
industry.
The same situation holds true for
other manufactured dairy foods.
Their production was very little
more than in 1928, but their use
was restricted in 1929.
The entire output of butter,
cheese, condensed and powdered
milk made in 1929 was only two
tenths of one per cent higher than
in 1928. But the consumption was
IA per cent less.
In other words the United States
made only S9,2O3,OO0 more pounds
of these milk products in 1929, but
ate 772,S9S,OOO pounds less of them

600 pounds. The consumption in
1928 was 53,13O,S26,O 900 pounds; in
1929 it was $685., 928,0OO pounds.
Here again we have striking
evidence of the size of the
country's milk business. The

lions. But the actual increase
in manufactured dairy foods is
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1930-03-20

The present butterfat prices are
due, not to overproduction in 1929,
but to under-production in 1928.
This situation forced the wholesale
price of butter at the end of 1928
to more than SO cents on the New
York market.
This is a higher price than con-
sumers have usually been willing or
able to pay. Whenever this figure
is reached, the market is usually
due for sudden drop. It seems to
be the point where the housewife
rebels.
Whenever the price has scared to
above so cents in the past decade,
there has always been a speedy
drop in the use of butter and a
rise in the use of butter substitutes.
The latter business seems to thrive
whenever butter prices soar.
The fact is there has been no
large increase in the production of
butter and other dairy products
within the past years, as shown
by the latest market report of the
bureau of agricultural economics.
With all the agitation for more
and better dairying in the north
west, and with all the efforts made
to introduce it in new locations,
the dairy cow population has not
advanced greatly. Nor has the
milk kept pace with the normal

less than one per cent for 1929
over 1928.
Yet the increase in popula-
ton is estimated at one per cent
a year or more than 100000
new consumers a year. Their
normal use of dairy foods av-
erages about 1000 pounds a
year or a total of 12O,OO0,OOO
pounds of milk. Yet the numb
er of dairy cows per capita
grows less from year to year.
In 1916 it was 225 cows per
1000 consumers, in 1921 it was
200 cows per 1000 consumers,
in 1926 it was 1S9 cows per l.
600 consumers. Population is
simply increasing faster than
the farmers can breed and raise
dairy cows.
When the price of butter goes
above so cents two things Away:
happen. The farmer has a strong
temptation to sell his butterfat
which sold as high as SO cents las
year, and purchase butter substi
tutes for his own use.
The city housewife also rebels il
large numbers, against paying such
a high price for real butter. She
can usually buy the substitutes fol
about one-half that price. Chair
stores in the east are now selling
oleomargarine at two pounds for {
quarter The price of butter is I'm
der 40 cents.
How the substitutes are making
inroads into the butter markets il
shown by the following table O.

and oleo since 1914.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1930-03-20

The high point in oleo production
was reached in 1920-with about
391 100000, pounds. It reached its
low point since then-in 1922 with
100000 pounds. That was when
the per capita butter consumption
started on the up grade, which it
continued to 1926, and during the
past three years has been declin-
ing. In the meantime, the use of
cleo has been increasing to 260.-
100000 pounds in 1927, 3OO,OOO,OOO
pounds in 1928, and for 1929 it is
estimated that the figures will
show a consumption of 350,000,000
pounds of oleo, an increase over
1928 that just about accounts for
the extra butter in storage now, and
which will probably amount to
