U S milk production neared its 1945 all time high in 1950 despite unfavorable feed milk ratio and a sharp drop in dairy cows. January 1, 1950 herd was 127 percent less than January 1, 1948. Output rose from 1944 to 1950 with 7,000 pounds per cow in 1948 and 5,290 pounds in 1950. Continued gains blamed on culling, pastures, breeding, and concentrates. Production likely to hold 1950 level in 1951 with little growth expected.
