More Dairy Products
Needed From
Lincoln County

Milk production in Montana IS
running about per cent lower than
in 1941 according to a report pre-
pared by J. O. Tretsven, extension
dairy husbandman, and sent to the
Lincoln County USDA War Board
To meet Food for Freedom goals,
production should be about 10 per
cent above 1911 production.
Decreases in production this year,
according to the report which COM
pares January, February and
March, 1912, with the same months
in l941, range from 2 per cent in
Zone | to 48 per cent in Zone 7
while increases are shown in pro-
duction in Zones 8 and 4 Tretsven's
report is based upon the amount of
butterfat used in the manufacture
of butter, ice cream and cheese in
factories of the state and does not
include fluid milk and cream con-
sumption, it being assumed that
such use remains about normal
while the surplus over and above
these demands goes into the manu-
faetufe of dairy products.
mo figures are given for Lincoln
county production" Chairman E. f.
Staples of the County USDA War
Board states, s'but our production
is probably about in line with pro-
duction in this zone which is 2 per
cent below the same months in
1941. 1t is pointed out by the Lin
coin County USDA War Board, that
the milking of about 30 more cows
would put Lincoln county over her
quota.
Several reasons for the decreased
production during the first quarter
are given by Tretsven in his re-
port Mr. Staples says. In some
places the shortage of labor results
in less cows MIXED, farmers selling
out and less care being given the
dairy herd. Unfavorable price re-
lationships of dairy products to 9TH
er farm products might be causing
shifts in production ard sale of more
cattle for beef while a feed short
age this spring, in some areas of
the state, undoubtedly caused less
liberal use of feed and poorly bal
anced rations. Other factors that
may help account for the decrease
include the long, hard winter that
was experienced in many parts of
the state and the poor quality hay
that was put up in many places due
to the exceptionally wet seasons
last year.
This decrease in production this
year is especially serious due to
the huge demand for dairy products,
both here and abroad Mr. Sta
Piles explains. Under the buying

while during the period of March
Is, 194l, through April 30, 1912,
ANA purchases totaled S2O4, 6O5, Oh.
In view of this need, every eff
fort must be made to meet milk
goals in Montana. To do this. pro-
duction during 1912 will have to be
u per cent over 1910 production, a
tremendous increase considering
that the 1871 production was only
II per cent over the 1910 figures.

 There was one gag in particular that had Banks all mixed up. The script called for Stan to deliver the punch line. As they prepared to go into the scene, Stan said, You know, Ollie, I think this would go better if you gave it the He then went on to explain why.
 Ollie, however, wasn't sure, and they discussed the matter, each more or less urging the other to take the major part.

Orange Co. Milk
Hearing Slated

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20-UP)-
State Agriculture Director w. j
Cecil today said public hearing
would be held in the Santa Ana city
hall at 10 a. m. Sept. to consider
petition of Orange county milk
producers to include the Orange
county marketing area IN the pres
ent Los Angeles county marketing
area.
Cecil said he had been informed
by producers and distributors that
fluid milk conditions in both coun-
ties we're comparable. If it is found
from the evidence that they are
similar, a hearing will be called at
later date for the purpose of
modifying the Los Angeles county
area to include Orange county.
Many of the Orange county fluid
milk producers also furnish milk for
distribution in Los Angeles. while
several Los Angeles distributors op-
crate wholesale and retail routes
in Orange county. Cecil said con-
solidation of the areas would be
helpful from an administrative
standpoint.
