CAUSE
OF
THE
BUTTER
SURPLUS.
Stocks of creamery butter in cold
storage warehouses on November 1,
19 3 3, totaled 160,390,000 pounds.
This amount was 93,562,000 pounds
greater than the corresponding fig
ure for 1932, and 65,006,000 pounds
greater than the average stocks on
November 1 for the five years, 1928-
1932. At the beginning of this year
—on January 1, 1933—cold storage
stocks of creamery butter were about
4,600,000 pounds less than on Jan
uary 1, 1932, and 30,366,000 pounds
less than the five-year average for
January 1. This means that during
the first ten months of 1933 a sur
plus of creamery butter of between
96 and 98 million pounds has de
veloped; that production has outrun
consumption by approximately 97
million pounds more than normal
for this period of the year.
An analysis of the situation shows
that this surplus Is due in part to a
neavier than normal increase in
production and to a decrease in con-
sumption. Estimated production for
the first ten months of 1933 was 1,-
511,965,0001 pounds as compared
with 1,463,501,000 pounds for the
first ten months of 1932; an in
crease of 48,464,000 pounds. Appar
ent trade output or consumption for
the first ten months of 1933 totaled
1,373,695,000 pounds as compared
with 1,422,786,000 pounds for the
same period in 1932; a decrease of
49,091,000 pounds. It would seem
from this that both production and
consumption are about equally to
tlame for this 97 million pound sur
plus of butter. For as far back as
statistics are available, however,
both production and consumption
show a very definite trend upward.
Since 1922 production has increased
at the rate of about 50 million
pounds per year, and consumption
has increased at the rate of about
16.5 million pounds. On this basis
the increase in production in 1933
over that of 1932 is only a little
more than might be expected, leav
ing practically all of the surplus to
be accounted for by a drastically
lowered consumption. These trends
nave not been quite so sharply up
ward In the last few years, however,
and on the basis of the past five
years, an Increase of about 30 mil
ion pounds both in consumption and
in production might have been ex
pected for the first ten months of
1933 as compared with the same
period tn 1932. Since production ac
tually increased 48 million pounds,
it might be said that about 18 mil
lion pounds of the surplus may be
ittributed to a heavier than normal
production, and around 79 million
pounds of the surplus to a lighter
than usual consumption.
As compared with the five-year
average, production for the first ten
months of 1933 was up 116,522,000
pounds. Apparent consumption for
he first ten months of 1933 was
22,183,000 pounds above the five-
year average. On the basis of annual

production and consumption during
the first ten months of 1933 might
have been expected to be about 90
million pounds higher than the five-
year average. On this basis produc
tion is about 26 million pounds
higher than it should be and con
sumption around 68 million pounds
lower than it should be.
The part that production has
played in this surplus is very recent
For the first six months of 1933
when the surplus amounted to only
about 26 million pounds, production
was actually about 2 million pounds
