Illinois Cheese Survey 



ET. HOBART of the Federal Farm 

 • Board called at the office of the 

 Illinois Agricultural Association re- 

 cently preparatory to starting a survey 

 in the cheese-making district of north- 

 western Illinois. 



Mr. Hobart will assist producers in 

 developing a better selling arrangement 

 for more than 5,000,000 pounds of 

 Illinois cheese produced annually. It is 

 possible that some tie-up with the Wis- 

 consin Cheese Federation may be 

 worked out for the benefit of co-opera- 

 tive cheese factories lacking sales fa- 

 cilities which a larger centralized sell- 

 ing agency can give them. A. D. 

 Lynch, dairy marketing director, is co- 

 operating with Mr. Hobart in the new 

 work. 



Low Prices Are World Wide 



MARKETS for American farm 

 products are reflecting the gen- 

 eral world decline in commodity prices, 

 according to the Bureau of Agricul- 

 tural Economics. 



"The low price of wheat," says the 

 bureau, "reflects a world-wide condi- 

 tion of declining commodity prices, 

 large stocks, business recession, unem- 

 ployment, and reduced purchasing pow- 

 er, all of which has operated to the dis- 

 advantage of many producers of com- 

 modities entering into international 

 trade, including American wheat, cot- 

 ton and pork. 



"Moreover, there seems to be a some- 

 what curtailed consumption within this 

 country, and apparently this is affect- 

 ing markets for cattle, butter, eggs, 

 lambs, wool, and certain vegetables." 



The bureau finds "the continued 

 weak market for wheat, as harvest time 

 approaches, is naturally depressing to 

 the West. Growers are hopeful but not 

 cheerful. The hopes are largely 

 ■ grounded in the possibility that small 

 supplies in Argentina and shrinking 

 stocks in Europe and the Orient may 

 lead to increased exports from this 

 country during the summer." 



In the face of these reduced market 

 prospects for farm commodities, the 

 bureau reports that the mid-season 

 crops are coming along now with pros- 

 pects of abundant supplies of {>otatoes, 

 cantaloupes, watermelons and tomatoes, 

 but probably with limited shipments of 

 peaches, onions and cabbage. Cotton, 

 corn, potatoes, and other principal 

 crops have been planted under generally 

 favorable growing conditions and the 

 grass crop has made rapid growth fol- 

 lowing the late May rains. Some effects 

 of the hard winter, however, are re- 

 ported to be evident in spotted wheat 

 fields and reduced drops of peaches.
