age of less than 2 per cent per
year from 1944 through 1957,
with only one increase in
1953
The number of cows probably
will decline further in 1959 but
piobably not as much as in 1958,
smej presumably the maioi ad
justment to the sharply higher
meat animal prices has taken
place Milk cow numbers prob
ably will continue to ttend down
ward afW 1959 but the rate
likely will be neaier the long
term average of a little under 2
per cent per year
The average cow in the Unit'd
States prodnc a d nearlv 6 300
pounds ot milk in 1958 It first
reached 5 000 pounds in 1947
Production per cow has been in
creasing between 2 and 3 pm
cent per vear on the average
for more than a decade
This has been accomplished bv
of superior producing
strains and feeding of laigei
cmantities of concentrates, along
with increased amounts and im
proved quality roughages Rates
of inciease in milk output per
cow are not likely to fall off foi
some time, judging fiom changes
in rates for-some Slates with high
averages and foreign dairy pro
ducing countries
Milk prices to farmeis declined
