A NATIONAL Wheat Conference is 
called at Chicago for June 19 and 
20. This conference will consist of 
representatives in agriculture, com¬ 
merce, elevators, railroads, millers, 
bakers, retailers and all educational 
bodies connected with agriculture, to¬ 
gether with many individuals inter¬ 
ested in the economics of the market¬ 
ing of 'wheat. The object of the con¬ 
ference is to obtain better prices for 
wheat by laying plans to create a 
larger consumers’ demand. Among 
those calling the conference are: S. J. 
Lowell, Master of the National Grange; 
Aaron Sapiro, counsel in Agricultural 
Economics; O. E. Bradfute, President 
of the American Farm Bureau Federa¬ 
tion; G, E, Chamberlain, United States 
Shipping Board; Royal S. Copeland, 
Senator from New York; Arthur Cap¬ 
per, Senator from Kansas; and the 
Governors of the States of Minnesota, 
Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, North Da¬ 
kota, Ohio and Oklahoma.

Milk consumption is increasing. Milk 
for household purposes increased from 
49 gallons per capita in 1921 to 50 gal¬ 
lons per capita in 1922, according to the 
United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, Consumption, by city folks in¬ 
creased 2 gallons per capita, but lack of 
any increase in consumption in rural 
communities pulled down the average 
increase of the country as a whole to 
1 gallon. ^ There is a big increase in the 
consumption of milk in chocolate form, 
100,000,000 pounds of whole milk be¬ 
ing used for this purpose in 1922, as 
compared with 40,000,000 pounds in 
1921. There was also some increase in 
the consumption of other by-products 
made from milk, 
* * * 
The New York City average price for 
New York State average run, colored 
and uncolored flats, American cheese 
for the month of May is 22.4375 cents 
per pound. The average price for 92 
score butter is 41.9423 cents. These 
prices are used by the Dairymen’s 
League Cooperative Association in de¬ 
termining the prices of butter and 
cheese for the general pool price for 
May. 
The price for class 3 milk for the 
month of May, i. e., milk used chiefly by 
the manufacturers of condensed and 
evaporated milk, will be 1.895 cents for 
3 per cent milk at the 201-210 mile zone.

The number of milch cows on farms 
January 1, 1923, is placed at 24,429,000 
as compared with 24,082,000 cows on 
farms January 1, 1922. There are also 
about 1,250,000 cows in towns, making 
a total of 25,505,000 milch cows produc¬ 
ing on the average of 4,020 pounds per 
cow, or 103,000,000,000 pounds of milk 
per year. The average production per 
cow in 1921 was 3,945 pounds. There¬ 
fore, while there is an increase in con¬ 
sumption of milk and other dairy prod¬ 
ucts, there is also probably a greater in¬ 
crease, both in the number of animals 
and in the production per cow. 
* * * 
A recent investigation of the results 
from hoof and mouth disease in Den¬ 
mark in 1920-1921 shows that prac¬ 
tically all milch cows reported upon 
had been attacked by the disease and 
that the death rate averaged 2.5 per 
cent. The biggest loss was through the 
large decline in milk production. The 
same disease attacked 86.6 per cent of 
the hogs of which 22.8 per cent died. 
=it * * 
The index of purchasing power of 
farm products stood at 70 in April as 
compared with 69 in March. The high 
cost of producing farm crops this sea¬ 
son on account of higher farm wages 
together with other factors, gives some 
indication that the prices of farm prod¬ 
ucts will be some higher this fall.

Experiments are being conducted in 
the Gypsy Moth infested area in New 
England to determine whether or not it 
is practical to spray fruit and other 
trees from an aeroplane or balloon 
rather than from the ground.

Wool prices in the nation ranged dur¬ 
ing the last of May from 35c in Wyom¬ 
ing to 55c a pound in California. The 
55c grade in California was for strictly 
fine combing wool.
