It also includes selling, market ing, research, administration and other professional fields. Brains are much more important than in today’s farm ing.” From Where We Stand... There is a new trend in milk pro - duction that is spreading across the Netherlands and it may soon be starting in the U.S. The trend is high protein milk. ■ In fact it may have already started. As of October first, the Red Rose Dairy Herd Improvement Association insti tuted a program of all-solids testing of milk, and, if sufficient interest develops, protein testing may be added later. Traditionally, milk has been sold— as we all know—on the basis of butter fat content and volume. Ten gallons of milk that contained four per cent but terfat was worth so much. If it contain ed only three per cent butterfat it sold for substantially less. The reason for the price differen tial was relatively simple. People want ed butter, and milk with a lot of cream, and they were willing to pay for it. But slowly our buying habits changed. High pressure advertising in duced more-people to buy margarine in stead of the “high priced spread”, and they were less willing to pay a premium for milk with a high butterfat content. In fact, there were fears—generated and encouraged by misguided publicity and advertising—that too much fat might not be good for health. At the same time work habits were changing and people burned up less energy in labor. Nutritionists began saying that people should not eat less, but that they should eat more protein, and milk is one of the best sources of protein. (Gradually the emphasis began to shift from.high butterfat milk to high protein milk. According to Professor George F. Haenlein of the University of Delaware, scientists in the Netherlands have tested the milk from more than 23,000 cows to see if there are some inherited differ ences in protein content and if animals can be bred for their ability to produce high protein milk. In these tests protein varied from 2.2 per cent to 4.8 per cent, and the scientists found that certain cows and cow families have predictable amounts of protein in their milk. The scientists also discovered that protein and fat contents are related only in a general way. A cow that gives high protein milk doesn’t necessarily give milk high in butterfat content. Here in the United States, research along the same lines has been going on at experiment stations for several years. Haenlein and his associates have been working on milk composition for the • Freeman _ (Continued from Page 1) Commission, denied that there has been anything amiss Thera has been no juggling no manipulation of milk in Penn sylvania, he said.

In answer to the question, How long are pro cessors going to be able to re ceive 60 per cent of the con sumer’s dollar for dairy pro ducts?, Freeman said the ques tion should be. “How long are farmers going to tolerate SO per cent of the .price going to processors?” Freeman said his depart ment supports the Base-Excess plan for milk legilation, but he would like to see tne inclusion of the McCarthy provision which would add payments for voluntary cutbacks in produc tion.

While the Base-Excess bill would help the situation he said, it would not increase the farmers’ incomes, and we are interested in seeing that far mer incomes increase.

BY MAX SMITH TO MAKE DAIRY STALLS LARGE ENOUGH . . . Many dairy barns have been, and continue to be, remodeled an the past few years The natural intent is to crowd a maximum number of cows into the space and thus save in building costs. In many cases this is a mistake. Modern dairy cows are larger than a decade ago and require larger stalls for top production. The proper size of the stall depends upon the breed and upon individuals within the herd; how ever, many large Holstein cows will require a stall five feet wide and six feet long.
