No marked change In the number at dairy oows win be apparent for the next two years, however, say* the bureau of agricultural eco nomies. Stocks at dairy products are larger than a year a#?, and wltfa prospects for higher production during the late winter thaa a year previously, total supplies of dairy prod ucts during the winter of 1935-36 will bo laqper than in the winter of 1994-35. Receipts of milk and creasa In the large cities Indicate that city consumption at fresh milk and ci?am has ceased to feline.. M1U production during the 1996 season will de pend largely on pastures and other conditions which cannot be foreseen. Unusually favor able weather conditions this year enabled pastures to recover from the 1994 drought. Storage Stocks Heavier etodfs of butter and cheese, condensed and evaported milk, In terms of milk equiv alents were 18 per cent heavier than a year ago, on October 1. Stocks of butter in cold storage, on the same date amounted to 148, 888,000 pounds, compared with a five-year average (1990-34) of 120,178,000 pounds. The heavier into -a tor age movement In 1935 was partly dus to heavier production In the flush period and partly to lighter consump tion. There has been an active movement out of storage since September 1, and with a continuation of the present rate and the lowered rate of butter production since the late summef, it may be expected that stor age stocks of butter will approach average toward the close of the present storage ssa son la the sprtng at 1998. Through ths purchase of dairy products and distribution through relief channels, the government has diverted substantial quan ta ttss of these products from eopxnerclal channels at times when suppllss were large and appeared to be exerting a price-depres sion Influence. The government began pur chasing dairy products in August, 1933, and TIP to May 1, 1094 had bought 81,589,000 pounds oX butter, ^nd 6,340,000 pounds at cheese.

Mr. Reed saye. "The noticeable trend toward more Mrt* age In grass and forage aropa and leas In eul* tlvated crops Is ta line with good dairy pra^ tloe. Bureau studies a few years ago suggest* eg that dairy farmers In many lnstenost would Increase the pipflts from the farm a* a whole If they grew most of the feed for milk production In the form of roughage crape rather than In the form at grain crop*, Roughage crops as a ruls produoe the nutri ents required for milk production at less cos* than the grain crops. To gain the maximum benefits, of coures, the shift to grass and for* age crope must be accompanied by attention to quality of the roughage as well as to quan tity. Research has, explained the importance of certain ndtrltlve essentials that are best supplied by high-quality roughage, it has al ee suggested practical methods for harvesting curing, and storing to preserve the nutritlvi properties of grasses and other roughages. "The cream -quality-improvement campaign inaugurated, by the creamery -butter Industry, which became national In scope last year, can be attributed to the efforte of dairy research workers who have long pointed out th* essen tial sanitary practice# for Improving quality, to the efforte of extension forces and othflt educational workers who demonstrated the practicability of the methods, and to the ef forts of Department regulatory officers la seizing and dumping cream and butter foun4 unfit for food. The far-reaching effects at the campaign can hardly be overemphasised. The value of a saAltary food product was never more strikingly demonstrated than by the Increase in consumption of milk as ltd quality Improved; the lame favorable con sumer reaction can reasonably be expected ad the quality of the general buttfr supply Is Improved. Quality of the butter, of course, depends largely on ths quality of the cream. Farmers everywhere are taking Increased In terest In producing high-quality cream, not only because of the difficulty of disposing of poor-qualUy cream but because of the pre mium prices paid for the better quality. "More than 98 farmers out of 100 who milk cows keep no records of production on their Individual cows. Without such records, the average dairyman can make little or no prog ress in Improving the producing capacity of his cows. /' Improvement In the great outss of our milk-cow population, therefore, will de pend on the development of breeding herds from which the average dairyman can obtain the right kind of herd aires. The Bureau has demonstrated the possibility of developing strains or herds of cattle with such a high degree of genetlo purity that all the young , bulls bred In the herd can be countcd on to transmit a high level of production. Pro* gresslve dairy farmers and commercial breed* era who develop such pure-line production herds will be the ones to furnish the right kind of sires for improving the farm herds. Br< , j uufwi; IW .
