Author Description

Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1926 On the whole the dairy industry has been in a relatively favorable position Since 1921. Its products did not suffer as great a slump in prices during the depression as those of the grain and meat industries and it did not remain depressed so long. Comparatively low prices caused some apprehension among dairymen in 1924. Last year, however, the markets for dairy products began to reect a better balance in production, and this year dairymen in' the East and North have had fairly good returns. In the far West the present year has been one of continued improvement on the whole. The Pacific coast had an early and favorable crop season in contrast with the East and has done reason ably well with grain, livestock, truck crops, and citrus fruits, but apples, pears, and peaches have been low in, price.
