FSCC will buy 100,000,000 bu. around prevailing prices (62?), dump it abroad for whatever it will bring. Estimated cost: $25,000,000.

Manufacturing process is relatively simple: after skim milk, which has a 3% casein content, has soured, the curd (crude casein) is separated from the whey; the curd is then washed, dried and ground into the finished product. Since 1921 U. S. production of casein has risen from 8,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ib. annually. Biggest consumers are paper makers (who use 70% of the yearly output for coating book, magazine...
