AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 655 ~ Mr. SEXAUER. You ought to know it better than I do. The dairy industry 1s, as you know, in much better shape than the rest of agri- culture, because of that; and because we rather fear for the prosperit of the dairy industry in the future, with so many other people inten ested In dairy production, or becoming interested in dairy pro- duction, we feel that some action is necessary to protect the rest of agriculture and bring it to a level which will make it prosperous enough so that producers of other products will not go into the production of dairy products to the extent that we have an exportable surplus which will bring about a condition in the dairy industry that now exists in other departments of agriculture. We believe that there is a very distinct danger of that happenin Deducting in t f milk (por ; ke PPENINE. ting mn terms of milk the exports of milk and milk products from the imports of milk and milk products, we find there were imported into the United States last year approximately 1,800,000,000 pounds of milk in foreign products. There was produced in this country last year 120,000,000,000 pounds of milk. So that our margin of imports which gives us the protection of the tariff in this country, such protection as we have, is only about 114 per cent. The production of milk in the United States increased last year £,000,000,000 pounds over the previous year; and should the con- sumption not increase as fast as the production, or should the produc- tion only increase one-half as fast as production, our imports margin would be gone and we would be facing the export situation. Mr. ANprESEN. How long would that take, do you estimate? Mr. SExauer. That is rather difficult to say. During the last year in what pretends to be more nearly the grain and hay sections of New York State, for instance, the county of Cayuga in which I live, produced $5,000,000 of agricultural products, of which $1,700,000 are dairy products, last year increased their production of dairy products 38 per cent. The county of Monroe, which is also a small grain crop and fruit section, increased their production of dairy products 25 per cent. The sections which are strictly dairying do not increase so fast. So that it is rather difficult to state, but with the present prices of airy products in comparison with prices of other agricultural products [ venture to say it would only be a year or two, possibly three years, before that situation will occur, depending somewhat upon the amount of young stock raised. But inasmuch as the amount of voung stock raised to-day is much greater than it was a year or two ago we feel that we are approaching that margin dangerously fast. Mr. Hope. We have been increasing in dairy production in the Middle West and grain-growing States. oo Mr. SExAUER. I believe that is true. I have not the statistics to bear that out, however. But I do know that the reports we have received from condensers is that in those sections where they have established new condensers, such as you men know of in the South and central South that there is a tremendous interest in dairying, and they are getting to be mie producers where formerly there was hardly anything but butter plants. } {ir Bow I may say that in South Carolina, from which State [ come, and several other Southern States, they are going into the R3160-—28—SER E, PT 9——?
