During these winter months, the families or rural and city residents are less actively enfcafeed out of doors than at any other season.

There has not been the customary seasonal ad vance in London or in other important foreign markets, owing largely to the British coal strike and the resultant low purchasing power of the British people, together with lack of demand in Germany even at lower prices from increasing domestic supplies. While prices have steadily advanced in the United States, the for eign markets have remained weak, with the result that the price differ- « . ential has grown wide enough to encourage exports from foreign coun tries into the United States in spite of a 12 cent duty. At the same time, high prices tend to reduce consumption. The domestic situation nevertheless remains in a fairly strong position, owing to lighter mar I ket receipts and a substantial movement out of storage of all important dairy products. Stocks of butter in storage in the United States on June 1 were two and a half times larger than a year previous, but they were about equal on December 1 to the previous December. f The export trade in the United States has been declining since the war years. It is fortunate for dairymen that there is not a large ex portable surplus of dairy products at thv present time. Whcthar it will be profitable to produce an exportable surplus in tbe future is problematical, reads the report. I Dairy animals on farms in the United States numbered fewer last January 1 than a year earlier. Of milk cows there were about 22,290* 000 compared to 22,523,000 a year earlier. The figures on dairy heifers are more significant, being 3,861,000 against 4,234,000, In terms of 1920, these represent 104 per cent and 87 per cent respectively of the number | then on hand On feper capita basis the number of cows January 1 this year was 95 per cent o( the number five years earlier. The same relationship in dairy population does not hold for Ora- ,?"?n?«SJhJ.er. WMtern ho*e’". Oregon had 110 per cent I of the 192Q dairy cow population and 112 per cent of heifera. The Pa- ’ C’ 4C»tU<M h,d 1W *nd 120 Per cent of cow" an<l h«ifcr« respectively; and the Mountain states, 121 and 119. 7 Many other factors besides the dairy cow population bear upon the quant.ty of dhiry products which may be produced and eonramed ia the country, it is stated There is a gradual increase in production per cow resulting from better breeding and feeding practices and conanmp- tion is increasing. These tend to offset each other.
