CMemspn College, Sept. 10.?South (Carolina buys approximately 8,000,( 000 pounds of butter annually from other states besides considerable ! quantities of milk and. cheese, ac- | cording io marketing studies of important centers in the state, say Ward C. Jensen and B. A. Russell of the division of agricultural economics of the South Carolina Experiment Station, authors of "The Business Side of Dairying," published as Experiment Station Bulletin 249 and now ! ready for free distribution. The data 1 gathered in the survey of dairying in the state, while not necessarily shoeing what to produce, give a pic! ture of supply and demand that may ! serve as a basis in part for more in' telligent production. The survey shows that the state's j population increased 25b percent lx*tween 1870 and- 1925 while the number of dairy cows increased only 165 percent, with a considerable decrease j in the number of cowh between 1910 and 1928. Per capita consumption of dairy products in the states relatively low, the demand and consumption being checked undoubtedly by low quality and lack of uniformity of the products sold. It is important, say the authors, not Oiily that better quality artd greater uniformity be secured but also that farmers study markets, relative prices, efficiency in production, etc. To this end the bulletin gives much data on marketing factors and prices, types of farming in relation to dairynu\ competition in dairying, and de, tail information on dairying surveys made nf many typical farms in the Piedmont and Coastal Plains sections of South Carolina. Bulletin 249 may be had from the county farm agents or from the division of publications, Clomson Col| lege, S. C.
