Heppner Gazette Times, June 18, 1942 5 Milk Diversion to Cheese Shown by Production Facts The heavy diversion of America's milk production away from butter and into cheese and evaporated milk is shown in figures recently assem bled by the extension office in agri cultural economics at Oregon State college. Figures for the first quarter of 1942 show 186 million pounds of cheese manufactured to 120 million pounds for the comparable quarter in 1941. This increase of 66 million pounds more milk went into cheese production in the first three months of this year than last. The evaporated milk figures are even more impressive. In the first quarter of this year 943 million pounds of evaporated milk was pro duced compared with 544 million pounds in the same period in 1941. To get this increase of nearly 400 million pounds required some 800 million pounds more whole milk. While part of this increase came from generally stepped up produc tion, the figures on butter output show that diversion accounted for a good deal of it. In the first quarter this year the creamery butter out put was 377 million pounds compared with 416 million pounds in the cor responding period of last year. This is a decrease of 9.2 percent. Just recently production has been swing ing back to butter as supplies of cheese and evaporated milk were built up to a point where a slight Turn in Your Rubber! If the American public can sal vage enough rubber by June 30th, motorists may avert gasoline ra tioning and get recapped tires. Al most every attic, basement, barn, and garage is an untapped reservoir of idle rubber. Today's most urgent problem is getting this rubber into service station depots. President Roosevelt has authorized every ser vice station in the U. S. to serve as a collection center in this all im portant two-week emergency drive. Everything counts Fido's rubber bone, the youngster's outgrown play things, Dad's old fishing boots, lowering of price occurred. From October of last year through the first quarter of this year U. S. department of agriculture purchases for lend-lease and army use amount ed to 50 percent of the total output of evaporated milk and cheese. For March and April of this year the government purchased 77 percent of the output of dried skim milk man ufactured for human consumption. Government purchase of all dairy products since last October amount ed to approximately twice as much as the increase in dairy production in that period. Oregon has aided materially in supplying the increased wartime need for cheese and canned milk, the re port shows. The cheese making ca pacity of the state has been greatly increased in the past year through installation of equipment in many of the creameries not previously equip ped to make cheese. Grandma's leaky hot water bottle and hundreds of other discarded or unnecessary rubber articles are needed to help win this battle of rubber. It's ' everybody's job start today! Here's a suggested list of things to look for and take to any service station: Tires and tubes, crepe rubber soles, boots and overshoes, hot water bot tles, tennis shoes, rubber belting, rubber gloves, rubber sheeting, pads and matting, rubber toys, raincoats and capes, rubber heels, rubber bathing suits, bathing caps and shoes, jar rings, plumber's suction cups, sample tire sections, rubber ash trays, rubber balls, etc., etc., etc It requires a great deal of bold ness and caution to make a fortune, and when you have got it it requires ten times as much wit to keep it.
