Milk production thus far in 1931 has been substantially ahead of that for the same period of 1930, accord­ing to a state-federal report issued from the New York State-department of 'agriculture and markets.

Production of milk per cow has been generally higher than last year, and with a greater number of cows, the total' production has shown some inciease. Reports for the first quar­ter-of 1931 from commercial dairy and milk distributing plants, which handle ahout twa-thirds of the jmilk received from farmers at plants in New York State indicated that during £he„ first quarter of 1931 total milk ahd cream receipts from farmers at identical plants were 6:0 * per cent greater* it,r?January, 9.6 per cent greater m February and 12.2 per cent greater in March, 1931, than in the corresponding months, of 1930-. The, number of farmers delivering $,t these sa.nie plants, however, increased 5.0 per cent in January, 5.8 per cent in February, and 6.1 per cent in March, 1931, over the« corresponding months
