One of the Dairy Industry’s Problems Is that It Has Outgrown Present Markets RECENT growth in dairying contributes to pioblems It makes the situation more cleai it certain points are kept in mind when considering the current dairy situa tion Looking at dairying from a historical perspective, it appears that the industry lias been going through a period of impoi t ant adjustments Early in World War II it was called on to expand production sub stantially and production subsidies were added as an incentive. Some of the adjustments caused bv this policy have continued and are contrib uting to present-day problems The outstanding example is the pro duction of non-fat dry milk solids Output doubled during the war and has more than doubled again Or putting it another way, the rate of production of non-fat dry milk solids increased fivefold during the peiiod fiom 1940 to 1956 while the rate of consumption in this country only dou bled Another development dating back to tne 1940’s was the shortage of fats. This brought about changes in many state laws pertaining to table spreads and opened up increased competition for butter Developments of recent years have made it possible for consumers to choose between butter and competing spreads at $ price unfavorable to butter In spite ot these developments, there has been about a tour per cent gap between production and domestic use of the total milk pi eduction Technological develop ments m production and handling of milk have occurred at such a rapid pace recently that if dairymen, processors, and distribu tors had not been making.piompt adjust- iM BY JUK REICHARD 75 Years Ago [ hi CO quaiteis of a ccnlurv ago •'it maclicc of inoculation in tho tieatmcnl lot splenic fever in "-'lecp and othci animals was a common Hum; ir Franco Tho v i-cinc «av earned m sealed tunes and Alien a lube was open ed it 1 - contents was used that - mo das A cicdualed svunge altaclud to a hollow needle foim cil the opuatmg mstinmcnl Sncep weie inoculated m tho r.uldh ol (he thigh the opciatoi pushing the needle beneath th< skin at the same time dopicssim' t a piston ol the sMimic to the iu-t 'i idmted maik He then passed on to the nc\t patient iiiloimme the same opciation li was claimed tnat with one man 1 oiflinc, the sheep and anothoi pu lor mine, the inoculations F5O s)u ep (ould be ticaled in on< iloUl Oxen and horses received rkiuh 1 ' the amount ol vaccine \ hull was applud to the should i m !Ulk I-.iul fJ!i Chaiils noUd Vfutaii ( -olo.ii o' seienti Ji\e \oais a a told ol his unusual c\pcri (ices with \ounn nul til i\cis 011 In- nip' in the lai.fl of the imcl n hi sol !he c' ploi 11 Mi ole \t cun slal’on in I inland I h ti a on 11 ann 1 loi <1 th i\e 1 and !o~( clnltli'ii jl iht \oilh set m (i no to he aiiaid ot nu Militsl c i\ 11 s name Mas Ida Calhaiint a\' in r a s]hu im_. ~ii(l vas (iiluhud si he >1 she saw n ■ll nr liii-,t 1 Mu \nolhci chisti 12 seals ol ( s is MiiP'cn lila Caioiuui Ihe I ,c ol out of oil! s, lice Is became oim bul she was equal to th< 1 n< \ Shi alighted blocked 1 111 vho I 'vjlil ,i 'lout w( nl In a loin bou-( and bon owi (I a few !i ids jnd a h imiiii i and with 11.' <ip >f tlu lai nei made es <i > Ini •, i iqlit i ' a f< a mintilt s Mu did not Sv (in .n tin least nl out In lh( accident She* i (ted with me all (he time This Week* in Lancaster Farming thouiih I did not undei stand what she said, for I did not know the Finnish language ’ In Bombav back in 1883 a hos pital loi sick and homeless am uuds had been elected in the cent ei ol the native quaitcrs ol that i‘*v It covcied sevcial acres with I>w stone buildings in a laige tom tv aid The onlv condition loi admission was that the animal umained thcie until it died The pains Hindoos believed that ail life is sacicd 50 Years Ago Tack in 1008 a new'spapci man ii.ai asceilamed piccisoh what King Edwaid ol England earned in his pockets In his w'aislcoat pocket was < mod a gold pencil case cigar culler little pass kev gold watch, (mclullv regulated bv Gicen v.ich time and a hall do/on sov oimgns In his coat pocket he famed a small notebook and in te< winlet lime he put his gloves m the pocket ol his topcoat 'lho king ncvei earned a ugai ca'-c except a gold case which held one cigai but he alwavs had a small box ol 10/enges Unlike his nephew the Kaiser ol Gei nam King Edvaid ncvci cai ned a Jountam pen in his pocket .'((Hiding to the newsman A news dispatch out ol Chicago "id ' eats apo i open led the cili/cnt, ol I’ic i son celebrated the close of it sisal senues and the consen sual ol most ol the sillaqcs popu l< turn in niaktnu a bonlne ol the tumituic ol the onh poolroom m toe town which had been banish eci Chinch people assembled .bout the Inc and piased and '■ana In Lmcastei Counts lilts 'isventslise >cais aqo this seals aao this sseck an incendi s'ck Ihe Laneaslei Counts Tobac ~,s 1 11 c clestiosed Ihe lai qe bom co Giosseis Assn held an allei oi the 'aim ol \athan Uupp he noon meetinq on the Icnnlh flooi Is,ten liaicsillc and iaime i s ol the Intc lliqencer Join nal Ness’s sdlc tenanted l)s Elam Kieitlci p pci Building Laneastei it svas The bain one ol the lamest u potted bv C.Miis H Good secie ip West Eail Fssp consisted ol Lrs ments, the situation might be much worse now. The number of farms from .which milk is sold has declined at the rate of about four per cent a year and the number of cows had dropped about one per cent In spite of these adiustments, milk produc tion has continued to increase What alternatives are there to the present dairy situation 9 It seem£ that bal ance between supply and use can be accom plished by cutting production, or by in creasing use, or some of both This is a good time for dairymen to determine whe ther they have any “boarder cows” that are not making any money for their owner. This kind of cow only aggravates the surplus Only a small percentage of the nation's dairymen keep the kind of records that will give them detailed production infor mation On the utilization side, a recent survev bv the United States Department of Agri culture revealed that a fairly large portion of the population is not getting the amount of calcium recommended bv the National Research Council This points up opportun ities for market expansion Dairvmen are one of the few segments of American food producers that have a good running -promotion project “Jtme Dairv Month” will tell the American peo ple the storv of milk and milk products in the following manner - Full-page black-and-white ads will ap pear in 110 maior newspapers, in selected newspapers color ads will’appear on June 5 the usual sponsorship of the Perry Como Show will be maintained on June 7 and 21, and there will be a spot announcement pro gram on NBC radio during the weeks ending June 7 and 14 Lancaster Farming Lancaster Count\ s Own I aim Weekly Alfred C Alspacb Publisher Robert E Best Editor Robeit G Campbell, Ad\ertism?

In which death! lis the greatest friend of man; but 1 'that Is another side of the story.i In the Bible death is alwayd lagainst man, not tor him.) Christ’* whole life, culminating in thi| ! Ci oss, was a victory over sin; and .the resurrection was a crowning victory, over death "Immeasurabla Greatness of Power'* Ceitamly since the first Easterj or since people began to meditate! on the meaning of that moment tous morning, Christians have noil been afraid, as many persons stUB aie, of sin and death They haval found victoiy over both, in ChnstJ You find this thought in manp places in the New Testament, nof only in Ephesians: that the ChrisJ tian so Identifies himself with) Christ that he can be said to g* through the same experience* Christ had—of death, burial, res 4 urrection To put it another way,} the victory of Christ over sin and death is not his own lone victory, rather it is a victory shared vitlj his people—with all who deeply d»* sire to share it This is part what being “in Chi ist” means,! Assurance of Victory So Easter is more than a when we remember a victory lonf ago It is a day when Chnstiana should lemember that this is then* victoiy too It is a victory both won, and yet to be won It is past, in Galilee and Jerusalem; it lit present, in the life of true Christ tians, it is future in its final and complete glory Most Christians,' sad to say do not realize this they would take their New Testa-1 ment seriously they would discovJ er that God has for them rea sources never yet tapped The same mighty power that was ini Christ and that made it possible for him to conquer sin is "in us who believe"—if we really want) it The same power that raisedl him from the dead goes with us| into the Valley of the Shadow The church, when she takes herself seriously, is not afraid of calami ties She has outlived many, she can outlast many more. For in the church, and in the individual Christians who make up thei church, is the very power of God. So Easter is the day of Destiny; the Light of Resurrection morn ing is a foiegleam of the glory God holds yet m store For the world may totter from crisis to crisis; but the purposes of God) will not fail us as he goes marcb-j Ing on.
