Excerpt from The Outlook for the Dairy Industry and Some Essentials of a National Dairy Program The outlook is for continued high dairy production. Cattle num bers in the United States started on the upward phase of their cycle in 1929. Although the increase to the beginning of 1931 was small, further increases are to be expected in the next few years. Some further increase in numbers of milch cows is also likely.
