On the . other hancf, the price of some other dairy foods was reduced. The price of butter will be .sup ported at 39 cents a pound (92 score, Chicago basis) as against the hitherto existing price of 36 cents,, and cheese will be supported at 21 cents (US No. 1, -Wisconsin cheese exchange basis), as against 20 cents. The agricultural marketing ad ministration will buy dry skim milk at 14 cents a pound for spray process powder (as against 13 cents at present). However, the price for roller process powder will be cut from 12 cents to 11. Evaporated milk will be pur chased at $3.10 a case in strapped export cases, as compared with the present price of $3.20. Both the spray and roller pro cesses are methods of converting slummed milk into dry form.

The announcement added: "The decrease in AMA's buying price for evaporated milk adjusts that price more nearly in ' line with prices being.paid farmers for milk by evaporating plants.
