PROFITS CAN NOT BE FOUND IN POOR COWS Feed-Buttered Ration Are Likely To Be Average For Winter The relationship iietweeu butterfat and pi ices eri- likely tn lie nearly average during the winter feeding period aecording tn da ta obtained by the I S Bureau of Agrtowiiural E* oiioinh s In midSeptgmi—r. the price of one pound «>I butterfat was equivalent to the i rice of 24 9 pounds of teed grain? Since September however, butterfat priira have increased and feed prices have declined Dairymen should not overlook the fact, however that even under present conditions, low producing leiws are a liability In the herd They are Inefficient in their use of feeds and consequently, yield a low price for all the roughages and ion< eiitra'es they consume This is dearly shown it consideration is given to daily held Improvement association records The average Indiana cow milked hi the state produces approximately l*»o iKtuuds of butterfat annually Referring to tl»«- group of cows in Dairy Herd improvement Assoc U tions last year approximately this state average, there were 596 bead

FARM PRODUCTS HAVE MARKETS War Has Effect On Agricultural Products Economist States Busing their observation on the theory that the European war will last at least another year, economists of the V S In-partment of Agriculture forecast a slightly improved farm income for 19to and better business generally because of increased consumer purchasing power says R M Turner, extension economist, State College- of Washington on his return from the national outlook conference at Washington. D C. However, if the war should , "blow up" overnight, the I -re mad* by th* economists would have to Ice drastically revised Th-- European war ha* i-tlmulat- • <l business men generally tic a feel- j mg of greater optimism. Turner say* and they are more ready to , risk fund* In expansion, plant Improvement and a general loosening of credit This Is already making itM-|f felt tn some line., particularly In steel, where plants have backlogs of orders sufficient to, keep them busy a few month* Most of these orders and other slgTi* of business activity result mainly from u domestic demand This leads economists to the belief that purchasing power is going to J be greater than last year Along 1 with this factor a higher whole ( salt- commodity level Is expected in I'.'io than In 1939. Confusion Seen Turner cautions fanners and] nt here not to expect Europe to ord er large quantities of farm pro- , due t» this next year.
