Stacked carton upon carton in cold U.S. warehouses is enough surplus butter (261 million Ibs.) to spread 16,704,000,000 slices of toast, or to butter 8,352,000,000 hot rums.* With more surplus rolling in at the rate of 7,000,000 Ibs. a week, President Eisenhower last week publicly expressed what his agricultural experts have been saying privately for months: something has to be done about butter...
...Department of Agriculture, specialists have been working overtime on plans for melting the surplus out of the warehouses and onto the toast. Among the possibilities is a "Rexall" or 1? sale, in which surplus butter would be sold to consumers for 1? a Ib. if they bought a pound or two of newly produced butter at the regular price. Another possibility is a Brannan-like direct-subsidy plan, under which butter would find its price level in the market, and the Government would pay dairymen the difference between that price and a predetermined parity level. Still another...

The Government would sell the surplus to dealers at a cut rate (possibly as low as 1? a Ib.) and permit them to sell it and newly produced butter to the public at an average price. Thus, if the wholesale price of butter stayed at the present 67? a Ib. and the Government let dealers have the surplus at 1?, the retail price for all butter would be the average-34? a Ib.-plus distribution costs...

However, they let the patients have skim milk...
...cocoa rise was caused not only by increased demand and bad weather but by the "Swollen Shoot" (a virus disease) cocoa-tree blight in Africa. As the price went from 30? to almost 60? a lb. in a year, the Government considered releasing some of its vast stocks of butter to users of cocoa butter for candy, but gave up the idea, since butter's low melting point would make it impractical...
