Roy Wagner and Harold Herr, delegates to the National Con vention, gave reports, pointing out that although cow numbers have declined in the U S, milk production has increased In 1945 there were 27,700,000 cows in the U S , in 1954 only 24.735,000 Yet more milk was marketed In 1924 ice cream, consumption per capita was 8.7 lbs per per son, in 1954 it jumped to 17 8 Butteil on the other hand, de clined Vrom 17 6 lbs per person in 1924 to 8 7 in 1933 Pessimistic View Given Rev Blake Nicholson, Jr, gave the invocation Golden W. D'avis, field man, reported A rather pessimistic- view of the milk market was presented by 0 H Hoffman, Jr, general manager of the Inter-State Co opeartive, who concluded the only salve for the ills of today’s market is “an ultimate adjust ment of demand to supply ” “There is no quick, easy legis lative solution that can solve this problem,”- he continued One of the'primaly causes has been the failure of milk producers to cut back'from geaaed-up, large scale wartime operations, he told Milk production is constantly increasing Sales and production under the Class I order 'are the highest since the order was in stituted December 1955 hit new records, totaling 83 million lbs, up 13 per cent from the pre ceding month, up 6.9 per cent from Dec 1954 on a daily basis. “Today - profit or loss - the dairy industry is producing more milk than the national or inter national market will use x . and foreign nations also have the same milk surplus problem,” he continued Great Revolution * “We are going through ‘the great - agricultural-industrial re volution’ as they may call it 50 years from now and it’s hurting a lot of people. You are a self-employed man m your Own manufacturing plant, so you must produce efficiently Lots of farm ers today are making a profit, lots are not Why is the rest of the national economy booming 9 We doubled, we quadrupled our (milk) production in World War 11, but kept up our expansion after the war “There as just so much market. We must either, 1, subsidize the farmer permanently, or, 2, put an artificial price on milk corn, beef, other agricultural LapcastbK Friday, February 3, 1956—3 products too, then cut production, to limit this income to what the nation will take' A sound method of. control may be impossible ” Mr. Hoffman told the crowd. Reporting on the Cooperative, he told, “This is the busiest year we have ever had; we kept $43 million worth of milk moving when world prices were much higher than our own ” He told of opposition to the Northeast ern Pool proposal, and the fact that two weeks ago the National Cooperative was approached by a national farm group to act favorably on the idea, but the Cooperative remained firmly in opposition.
