USDA Raises
Butter Price
Production Stimulation
Reason Given for '
Supported Figure
WASHINGTON, July
The department of agriculture has
announced it would raise the price
it pays for butter and some other
dairy products to stimulate pro
duction for civilian and war pur
poses. 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 said the United
Nations need more spray process
skim milk but that the government
has been acquiring the roller pro

cess product "at a considerably
larger rate than is necessary to
meet lend-lease requirements.' .
The widening in the differen
tial in buying prices between
spray and roller process dry skim
milk is intended; to stimulate
greater production of spray pow
der and to encourage, a shift from
spray to roller process in domes
tic uses."
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.
It also said the shipping situa
tion had necessitated a decrease in
the quantity of evaporated rnilk
used for lend-lease purposes.
