Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dairying in War and Peace Production increases to supply an expanding market for milk may be expected as the result of several factors. (1) Feed supplies for dairying may be increased as a consequence of further declines in the number of work animals, by improvement in the varieties of feed crops produced, and by an increased use of lime and fertilizers on crop and pasture land. (2) Ah improvement in the efficiency of the average dairy cow appears likely, not only because of continued culling of inferior animals and more effective disease control, but also because of a rapidly expanding artificial-breeding program. Most of the improve 'ments from.the widespread use of improved sires, made possible by arti ficial breeding, are still to be achieved, and over a longer period it is possible that productive capacity will be increased by cross breeding. (3) Further mechanization provides a basis for increased operating effi cisney of the dairy enterprise. Shifts in the urban population, accompanying the probable future growth of industry in the South and West, may bring about changes in the regional pattern of milk production for fluid use. 'with relatively few alternative livestock enterprises that compete effectively with dairying, an expansion of milk production in the major manufactured dairy-product areas appears probable as methods of dairy processing and transportation are further improved.
