American Consumption Is Stead- Growing, Says Head of Dairy Congress. Washington.--Only the healthy and •rowing condition of the American dairy Industry has enabled It to withstand the drop in exports which came with the world readjustment. This also has been aided by a growing taste of the American people for dairy products, says Dr. H. E. Van Norman, president of the World's Dairy Congress association, which Is preparing for Its International meeting 'here in October. .The United States has ijteached a point where the production and con* sumption of dairy products are almost equaJ," D. Van Norman said, "as Is indicated by the fact that its exports and Imports of dairy products nearly balance. "The fact is that our dairy industry is in a healthy condition and it is kept so by our people's growing appreciation of dairy products. The fact that our consumption of dairy products today almost equals our production indicates a tremendously rapid growth In appreciation. | f y Foreign Market Active, , »*^hile our foreign business in bnfr ter and cheese does not reach a'great volume, our domestic markets are constantly influenced by the conditions that obtain in the world markets. The foreign business which we do carry on in dairy products also frequently has an importance out of all proportion to Its size In the stabilizing of our domestic conditions. A few weeks ago,' when our cheese market was partlcu- - larly slow, an opening for cheese occurred in England. Our owners of stored cheese Immediately "unloaded' as much as they could on the English market. The deficit was caused by the failure of New Zealand, where the creameries are equipped to manufacture either butter or cheese, to pay the usual attention to cheese. "That the American merchants grasped the opportunity just in the X'ck of time is evidenced by a cablegram from the American agricultural trade commissioner, stationed at London, recently received by our Department of Agriculture, stating that the American cheese now on storage in England amounts to 14.000 boxes, •gainst about 31,000 boxes a year ago, and that the Australian cheese on storage amounted to 31,000 crates, against a trifle more than 73,000 crates a year ago; but that Australia had 122,000 crates of cheese afloat and bound for England, about 11,000 crates more than she had on the water at this time last year. If we had needed to unload butter on the English market we would not hare had the same fortune, for the cablegram states that England has In storage 423,000 boxes of Australian butter, an increase of 33^XK> for the year. "It is noteworthy that. In spite of increased production, the United States Is shipping less butter today proportionately than It did in the fiveyear period before the war. « Biggest Market is at Homo. "While the American dalrymati Is finding a tremendously Important market at home, a new group of dairy nations is rising to grasp the International markets. Equipped with a large proportion of American machinery and to a very great extent directed by graduates of American agricultural colleges. New Zealand, Australia, Argentine republic and-Canada --all countries with small populations of milk consumers and large populations of dairy cattle--are provlag themselves, mighty competitors of the historic dairy countries of Europe. While these countries are In their youth, with unestlmated possibilities ahead, the older dairy countries have reached very- nearly the 11M of their productability."

Swede n Second Largest Copper Deposits in Europe Are Reported by Government Stockholm.--The largest deposits of sulphur ore and copper ore ever discovered in Sweden, and the second largest copper deposits In Europe, are the subject of an exhaustive report Just rubllshed by Axel Gavelln, chief of the Swedish government's geological research department This new wealth of ore, the presence of which was detected recently by the use of electrical instruments, lies in latitude 65 north, near Kusfors station. Tests already made by Mr. Gavelln show that the copper ore contains as high as 10 per cent of copper, the average run being estimated at 4 per cent, while the sulphur content of. the sulphur ore is as high as 41% per cent. It is estimated that this new mining field will yield annually 1,500 tons of copper and 100,000 tons of sulphur ore. The possibility of getting so large a supply of native sulphur Is War Hospital Men Print Newspaper Veterans of World war ut Hospital 81, New York city, are now printing their own newspaper, "Hospitality."
