Facing a Milk Crisis 
A Serious Situation 
Part II. 
IIiori-I’RiCEO Feed.—I liave lived in 
Now .Jersey 10 years. I have endeavored 
to keej) in clo.se ‘‘ouch with the accom¬ 
plishments and activities of the farmers 
who are interested or engaged in meat or 
milk production, and believe that the De¬ 
partment has been able to help in the so¬ 
lution of many of the problems that have 
presented themselves, hut during the past 
three months it lias been quite impossible 
to prompt suggestions as far as feeding 
and m nagement of live stock arc con¬ 
cerned that would yield substantial aid to 
the livestock farmers. When a man 
writes you as one fiirmer wrote me. ask¬ 
ing if I considered it patriotism for him 
to feed corn worth $1.()0 per bushel or 
.$00 a ton to a herd of selected dairy cows 
yielding an average production of 11 
quarts per cow : when his own lead pencil 
proved to him ab.solutely that the selling 
price of the milk did not cover the cost of 
the grain itself, let alone the labor; when 
poissibly if not positively it would be nec¬ 
essary for him to u.se the corn to feed and 
sustain his own family. The dairy farm¬ 
ers and breeders are as patriotic as any 
class of men in the world. They want to 
do their bit, and do it willingly, but we 
have no right to insist that they continue 
in an industry that is not self-sustaining, 
and that even though <hey use selected 
and high-producing cows, and conduct 
their business otherwise efficiently and 
ecoiiomically, it is necessary to appeal to 
their iiatriotism to continue them in the 
business. 
Effect of a Shortage. —Please par¬ 
don me if I have expressed a pessimistic 
view of the situation, but I believe it ex¬ 
ists. I am hopeful that the public will 
I’ealize existing conditions and take 
prompt steps to help solve the problem. 
I think it was James J. Hill who pre¬ 
dicted 15 years ago that the only condi¬ 
tion that would check the traffic of people 
from the farm to the city and send them 
back to the field of production would be 
starvation. I Inqic and pray that this 
condition will not prevail, yet I am con¬ 
vinced that the only condition that will 
bring the consuming public to an appre¬ 
ciation of the value of milk will be an 
actual shortage of supply, and it looks to 
me at the present moment as if we were 
on the verge of such a catastrophe, for 
unlo.ss the consuming p blic is willing to 
pay the cost of production for a product 
whose food value is not questioned, and 
which of necessity must be supplied, we 
cannot expect the dairymen to produce 
this product for the mere experience and 
pleasure of feeding and milking cows. 
Possible Remedies. —What is the 
remedy? I wish I knew. Publicity and 
organization may help. Publicity in or¬ 
der that the liiiblie may know and thus 
appreciate the feeding value of milk and 
butter. The slogan “Bread and butter,” 
“There is no substitute for butter,” 
should be proclaimed in every household. 
Publicity identifying the high cost of 
feed, the indifference and independence of 
labor, the scarcity and high cost of milch 
cows, and the alarming increase in the 
price of dairy machinery and equipment 
of every sort ought to educate the public 
mind as to the justness of the farmer’s 
claim that at least he must have a new 
dollar for an old one in the transaction. 
Publicity that would identify the enoi'- 
mous overhead charges that every dairy 
farmer mbst meet; the' loss through 
tuberculosis. Bang’s disease, shy breeders, 
low producers and other congenital causes 
that are enormous, the unreasonable de¬ 
mands and annoyance of incompetent iu- 
.spectors, boards of health or city authori¬ 
ties, ami other professional agitators not 
only pi’ovokes the temper of the prtKlucer, 
hut creates an atmosphere that is rapidly 
becoming unbearable. Publicity ought to 
reveal the conditions as they are, and we 
all know that thej’ are bad enough with¬ 
out a single instance of exaggeration. 
When such a dignified organization as 
the Congress of the United States can be 
swayed, influenced and prompted to action 
through the agency of publicity is it not 
reasonable to expect that this same 
weapon will bring to the dairyman the 
same kind of relief? 
Value of Publicity. —Publicity is 
quite as much an item of importance to 
the breeder of dairy cattle as it is to the 
producer of dairy products, or the mer¬ 
chant who dispenses merchandise. The 
old adage, “If your business is not worth 
advertising, advertise it for sale,” might 
be translated to read, “If your herd is not 
worth advertising, advertise it for sale,” 
regardless of whether the buyer should be 
a fellow breeder or the butcher. There 
may be difference of opinion as to just 
how publicity should be promoted, but 
there can be no controversy concerning its 
importance and economic value. Beeords 
of production properly authenticated by 
the agencies now available for such pur¬ 
poses are without a doubt important fac¬ 
tors in giving publicity to the dairy¬ 
men’s achievements. Carefully compiled 
and authenticated records comparing the 
cost of feed prevailing at the present mo¬ 
ment with that which obtained a year ago 
ought to show, and will show, that the 
price of milk has not increased in pro¬ 
portion. F. C. MIXKLEK.
