VIRGINIA Official Denies
Milk Shortage Report

Fy the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 1.-E. G. c.
Woods, secretary of the State Milk
Commission. said yesterday that he
had received no report of a milk
and butter shortage which the Pro-
gressive Dairymen's Association
charged in an open letter to the
Governor had been brought about by
the present method of Bangs disease
control.
He said that the State always had
been able to supply its needs for
liquid milk. Sixty per cent of
Washington's milk supply, figures
showed, also comes from Virginia.
He added, on the other hand, that
the State always has imported a
certain percentage of its butter, but
that this is considered a natural
practice because Virginia is near
enough to the principal markets to
make the sale of whole milk more
profitable than the sale of butter.
AS for shortage of milk cows,
Mr.. Woods reported that there now
are more than 100000 such animals
in Virginia and that he was conf
dent there had been little change,
either in the way of increase or de-
crease, during the last four or five
years.
