Show U. S. BUTTER EXPORTS SMALL This Country 'Furnishes Lea Than 1 Per Osnt of Product That W- ur In Trad. (Prepared by th United BUtta Department Depart-ment of Agriculture.) In spite of vast erasing lands In the United States this country furnishes less than 1 per cent of tho butter that figures In world or International trade, according to statistics recently compiled com-piled by the United Statei depnrtment of agriculture. However, the some fuct, expressed lu terms of the total number of pounds of butter exported, does not look so Insignificant, since the annual total for at least one year In ench of tho last six decades has approached 80,000,000 pounds. There ' has been marked fluctuation In this country's exports of butter, the amount frequently dropping to less than one-third of the total for the big years. Tho relation between domestic domes-tic and foreign prices has been the determining factor In these changes. Durlug the last few years our exports, small as they are relatively, have been going to 70 different countries, colonies, col-onies, and dependencies. |
