especially those of Eu rope We sent 150 million dollars worth of butter cheese condensed milk and other dairy products out of the country in 1919 and in the following year 1920 Australia New Zealand Argentina Brazil Colombia Mexico Canada and certain European countries sent us 30 million dollars worth of the products of their dairy industries And the reports of big shipments now on the way from the dairy farms of New Zealand indicate that the great dairy industry of that country does not find even the equator and the long trip across the Pacific a bar to a permanent movement of their
