RATE OF CONSUMPTION. Monthly consumption of butter in the UnUed. States has increased nearly 30,000,000 lbs since 1920, according to figures compiled by the Department of Agriculture. Consumption .iA 1925 is estimated at 159,000,000 lbs a month compared with 130,000,000 lbs in 1920. The peak consumption, according to Department of Agriculture estimates, was reached in 1924, when 161,000,000 lb s of butter a month was eaten in that country, the s ßght falliiig off in 1925 being attributed to a slowing up of production and higher prices. The increase since 1920 is said to be due to improved industrial conditions, educational campaigns stressing the food value of butter, and higher quality of the product. Although the American dairy industry has been stimulated 'greatly by the increased consumption of butter, departmental officials declare that there is room for even greater use f butter. The per capita consumption of butter in Canada, for example, is around 27 lbs a year compared, with 17 Its in the United States.
