Quite recently we hav Imd an
editorial or two pointing out that
increased production in industry
would mean lower prices without
reducing the present wage sched
ule. The same thuth holds good to
the farm, and its subsequent ef
fect upon the cost of food.
In one of flip State agricultural
ollegcs the dairy department re
cently poinetd this out in a very
concrete manner. Twenty years
ago, it said, the average eow Was
giving 2,200 to 2,tiOO pounds of
milk yearly, whereas today the
average is 2,800 pound per cow.
Increased production by better
live stock and dairy methods.
During this time the milk yield
of the highest type of dairy cow
increased from around 1 14,000
pounds until now we have cows
with an annual output of .20,000
pounds. This shows how much
room there is for the output of the
average cow to become higher and
'higher with better methods more
widely applied.
The head of the department then
made an interesting calculation.
He pointed out that when the av
erage yield was around. 2,400
pounds, the milk sold .for 5 cents
a quart. The cow ate clover at
$4.60 per ton, corn at 35cents per
whole, day for about $16 dollars
bushel, etc. Labor worked a
per month.
Since then tile cost of feed and
labor have increased mightily.
What would have happened to the
price of milk if the yield per aver
age cow had not increased, but had
remained around 2,400 pounds in
stead of going to 3,800 pounds?
He answers 'by saying, in that ease
we would 1 be paying 34 cents a
quart for milk.
helped overcome increased cost.
The best way to get cheaper bread!
is to increase the average yield
of wheat per stalk and per acre.
The same applies to corn, to beans,
or ally tiling else we eat. W
