PRICES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS GO UP Butterfat Worth Nearly Twice May and June Quotations.

Dairying has made a marked recovery from the grnera: depressed condition of farm iviaes, A. E. Anderson, state and federal statistician, declared Monday as he pointed to a 24 per cent advance in butterfat prices during the last month. The present prices, he said, are nearly double those of the low point in May and June. Greater consumption and low storage stocks of butter account for the advance, according to Mr.

Anderson- As a result, butterfat la now the out- commodity that the farmer has for sale. State Average 31 Cents. Prlccjs range as high as 35 centn a pound. Mr. Anderson says, reporting the state average as 31 cents compared with 25 cents a month ago and 17 cents in May and June Taking into consideration the present low feed costs, the returns from butterfat at 30 to 35 cents a pound are as good as 40 to 45 cents a pound two years ago when feed costs were high, the statistician declared.

Owing to the markedly better return from butterfat. Mr. Anderson calls attention to fears that overproduction with resulting lower prices may follow. The farm board recently issued a warning pointing out that the supply of dairy cows is high and that too heavy production may prices downward again. Previous low prices, according to Mr.

Anderson, have greatly increased the consumption of dairy roducts, especially on the farms, farm consumption decreases and storage stocks begin to pile up, he fear an adverse pijice effect. He points out that the farm board suggests culling out of cows of low production to avoid this. Lincoln Company fleveral of Consirvetlon In Vicinity. (Special to The Star) HASTINGS. Neb, Oct.
