Prices of both butter and cheese showed little change during June from the previous month, being in each case just slightly lower. The whole- sale price of creamery butter at Tor- onto averaged 22.1 cents per pound as compared with 23 cents in the previous month and 21.8 cents during June 1939. Cheese prices average 13.8 cents per pound during June as against 14 cents in May and 12.5 cents for June last year. The low price of butter is tending to cause milk to be diverted to cheese produc- tion in the areas where cheese fac- tories are established. Exports of all dairy products from Canada, with the exception of con- densed milk, were substantially- lower during May 1940 than in May 1931, and the total value of exports de- clined, Most of the decrease was ac- counted for by a reduction in exports of cheese. For the twelve months ending May 1940, cheese exports front Canada showed a large gain over the previous twelve months, being 90,- 501,900 0,501,900 pounds as against 82,949,300 pounds. Butter exports followed the trend of recent months and were much lower than a year ago. Con- densed milk exports were consider- ably higher in May than a year earl- ier, but shipments of powdered milk showed d a 30% redaction and evapor- ated almost 80% reduction. Commercial sales of fluid milk in the province during May 1940 were reported at 22,542,000 quarts having a sales value of $2,540,300, Do You OBSERVE or Merely See?

Want and For Sale Ada., 1 week 25cI "My wife and my daughter," Dairy Production in Ontario Cheese figures show that there has been some diversion of milk from the production of creamery butter to the manufacture of factory she, , t', but with the prevailing low prices sur butter it is apparent Haat a twill greater etfol'1 in this direction is re- quired in order to atreugthen the position of butter, says the monthly dairy report of the Ontario depart- ment of agriculture. Prices of both butter and cheese showed little change during June from the previous month, being in each case just slightly lower. The whole- sale price of creamery butter at Tor- onto averaged 22.1 cents per pound as compared with 23 cents in the previous month and 21.8 cents during June 1939. Cheese prices average 13.8 cents per pound during June as against 14 cents in May and 12.5 cents for June last year. The low price of butter is tending to cause milk to be diverted to cheese produc- tion in the areas where cheese fac- tories are established. Exports of all dairy products from Canada, with the exception of con- densed milk, were substantially- lower during May 1940 than in May 1931, and the total value of exports de- clined, Most of the decrease was ac- counted for by a reduction in exports of cheese. For the twelve months ending May 1940, cheese exports front Canada showed a large gain over the previous twelve months, being 90,- 501,900 0,501,900 pounds as against 82,949,300 pounds. Butter exports followed the trend of recent months and were much lower than a year ago. Con- densed milk exports were consider- ably higher in May than a year earl- ier, but shipments of powdered milk showed d a 30% redaction and evapor- ated almost 80% reduction. Commercial sales of fluid milk in the province during May 1940 were reported at 22,542,000 quarts having a sales value of $2,540,300, Do You OBSERVE or Merely See?
