'PRICES OF 'DAIRY PRODUCTS ‘Do Not Fully Respond Immediately t¢ Advance in Cost of Feed—Lag Was Felt in 1917, -(Prepared by the United States Departs ment of Agriculture.) ;Higher prices of the crops eaten by iive stock shoyld find their way into higher prices for live stock products: Eventually they may, but there is what the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agri- culture calls 'a “lag.” Pnusduct, prices .do_not fully respond at once to. ad: vahce In' feed” prices: - Such was the situation of farmers with regard to the prices of dairy products and other .-animal‘products from 1015 to 1918, and the lag was heavl!y Ielt by urm- ers'in 1917," From ;1915 to 1916 "crop prlcel ins 1018 about 120 per cent. During the same time the total value of animal -products on the farm -did not’corre- spondingly gain, although a tendency to overtake the lag appeared in 1918, In the meantime live stock 'has in: ncéned in number and price, andenor- ‘mously in’ total value, -although not #ion, and it 1s interesting to compare thé" total value of live' stock prod- 'ucts with the total value of live stock {tself year by year during the war. In each of the three years, 1013-1915, the aggregate value of live stock products e was 65 per cent of the aggregate value S of live stock. The ratio went up to @68 per cent in 1916, made a great ad- wvance to 78 per cent in 1917, and per cent in 1918. Live stock value, compounded of increasing number and increasing price, lagged behind the ad- vancing value of live stock products. That there should have been a lag i in the advance of live stock value, compared with the advance in the alue of live stock products, is in ac- Good Pasture Is the Cow’s Best (‘eed. cordance with experience, but these products themselves lagged in price e behind the price of the crops eaten in their production. Consequently some unprofitable production of animal prod- ucts may have accompanied the lag of live stock value behind value aof products.
