O lIO O N Milk Production Local Boys Attend Dips;U.S.Dairy r ~ * £ S i Report Reviewed T he supply of m ilk produced in O regon is continuing its dow n­ w ard trend, reports S tephen C. M arks, extension ag ricu ltu ral eco­ nom ist at O regon S tate college. As 1959 passed the half-w ay m ark, m ilk production in Oregon trailed th e sam e m onths of last y e a r by 2 percent and was 7 p e r­ cent u n d er the 10-year average, as found from reports of the U. S d e p a rtm e n t of agriculture. P roduction of cheese and b u tte r in th e sta te dropped at an even fa ste r rate. However, m ore than av erag e am ounts of ice cream m ade in A pril helped hold the to­ tal drop in ice cream at th e 2 p e r­ cen t level. C ost of producing m ilk in the state continued to rise. T he e sti­ m ated average cost of producing grade A m ilk in the W illam ette valley du ring Ju ly w as 9>A p e r­ cent h ig h er than last year. F arm wage rates in Oregon are now at a record high. A lfalfa hay now costs 50 percent m ore than a y ea r ago, and cost of concen­ tra te d feeds used by dairym en are also higher. O ver th e nation, the am ount of m ilk produced the first half of 1959 fell slightly below th aï of last year. This reflects a contin- ued reduction in m ilk cow n u m ­ bers d u rin g the present high level of beef-cattle prices and less fa v ­ o rab le d airy pastu re conditions, M arks explained. E stim ates on U. S. production of m an u factu red dairy products th e first h a lf of this y e a r show cheese, b u tte r, and dry m ilk o u tp u t dow n m uch m ore from a y e a r ea rlie r th a n m ilk output. At the sam e tim e, national production of ice cream , sherbet, ice m ilk, and o th ­ e r frozen d airy products co n tin ­ ued upw ard. L ooking at w hat people are e a t­ ing, M arks found th a t use of cheese is holding n ear last y e a r’s record level, bu t use of b u tte r a p ­ pears to be slipping some more. T h e average person is also using slig h tly m ore fluid w hole m ilk, and eating 4 percen t m ore ice cream , ice milk, and sherbet. lh eu r county at this y e a r’s Y outh R ange cam p w ere T ru m an C leaver of Nyssa, H andicraft books head the group Dan Johnson and Byron D Sea- of new volum es going into circ u ­ quist of Vale, and W alt S a th e r of lation S atu rd ay , Aug. 22, at the O ntario.
