coughing, high fever, staggei mg,
and loss of appetite With good
management the pigs will sui

days Many outbreaks are intro

Cheese made fiom goat’s milk
and sheep’s milk also remains
unrestricted, except for most
Blue Mold-type cheeses
Dairy imports are limited un
der Section 22 of the Agucul
tural Adjustment Act, as amend
ed, whenever the President
finds that the level of dairy im
ports is such as to intei fere or
threaten to interfere matenally :
vith the U S puce support pro
gram for milk and butterfat
Emergency quotas were plac
ed on canned milk in June 1968 ;
and on most of the cheeses con
cerned in September 1968 There
have not previously been quotas
on chocolate milk crumb, pro
cessed Italian-type cheeses and
butterfat/sugar mixtures in con
sumer packages.
In announcing the emergency
quotas and recommending the
Tariff Commission investigation
last June, Secretary Freeman
noted that the world-wide dairy
surplus was causing dairy prod
ucts to be unloaded on the U S
market in excessive quantities
and usually at subsidized prices.

He said the US. market was
particularly threatened by im
ports of low-pnced cheeses used
in processing in this country
The Secretary said the Tail ft'
Commission agreed that unre
stucted imports would mtei fere
with the dany progiam and rec
ommended they be limited
It is estimated that 1969 U S.
imports of all dairy pioducts—
both within and outside the im
pel t conti ol system will
amount to approximately 13 bil
lion pounds (milk equivalent).
Such impoits totaled 2 9 billion
pounds in calendar 1967.
