"Almost tha sams conditions have taken
place with the dairy farmer except he has
found profit In eplte of high feed values
owing to the very high price of butter and
tha economic advantage ot tha dairy cow
over the beef animal. However, with a low
butter market and high priced grain and
forage, the cream producer will bo forced
to adopt better methods If he wishes a fair
profit from his business.
"In simple Words we have now come to
ths time when It la ncccst.ary to produce
animals and animal products more cheaply
