Show Something For The Farmer to Consider It is estimated that at present there are some 30,000,000 pounds of quality dairy butter in" storage. Prices are the lowest in 25 years. This may seem a tremendous surplus sur-plus "out, as the DairymerTsLeague Cooperative Association of New York points out, it .could be entirely eliminated if each of the six million mil-lion American farm families would use one extra pound of butter pei week for a period of five weeks. It is brought out, further, that the dairy farmer himself is not without blame. A survey of cross roads and small grocery stores disclosed dis-closed that a Jarge part of butter substitutes sold in this country are purchased and consumed by farm families, in spite of the fact that these substitutes are lacking in the protective vitamin found in genu-ne genu-ne quality products. It looks as if the solution to the dairy phase of the farm problem is largely a matter for the farmer himself to solve through his own dinner table. ' |
