Butter Storage Small; Higher Prices Likely Higher prices for butter and cheese are in prospect for this sum mer, the bureau of agricultural eoo- nomics announced this week. Stocks of butter in storage on June 1 were the smallest in about 10 years. Only unfavorable weather, which might affect pastures ad versely, will prevent a relatively larg'C vohime of milk productioti this summer, the bureau said. Prices of -butter and cheese have been going up recently and they may average considerably higher this summer than last, the bureau added. Milk production per cow cm June 1, averaging 16.99 pounds, was the largest for that date since 1931. The increase more than offset a decrease of about 2 per cent in the number of cows compared with a year ago. The .net result was that total milk production on June I was 1 to 2 per cent more than in 1935, and tlie .seootid largest on record for that date. Milk production per cow every where, except in the south, was larger on J.une 1 than the 1925-29 average. Production declined in the south on account of unusually poor pastures. The bureau said that prices of butter have “probably reached the seasonal low for this year.” Olivers to Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. J.
