federal govern ment for Canadas butter sur plus of early 200000000 pounds Mr Cote said most of Can adas surplus milk production finds its way into butter and domestic sales of that dairy food have declined 1000000 pounds month during the last four years One must ask why consum ers should be expected to pur chase fat in one form at about 70 cents pound when other fats and oils can be substituted at prices of 25 cents or less pound he said The spokesman for Canadian milk processors fsaid it was the responsibility of the fed eralgovernrnent to adjust consumer prices to the point necessary to eliminate the sur plus and restore the domestic market Yet producers themselves could boost domestic sales with dig shaft into the frozen ground and stockpile the con centrates In the spring he used

Act provides for con sumer control and thus should lend confidence to the produ cer group To stimulate milk sales pro ducers should take action to es tablish school milk plans and furnish educational material to schools to emphasize the importance of milk in the diet Consumers now demand diet of lower fat content than in former years Mr Lutes said and producers should be encour aged by price
