BROILER CHICKS
Although production of broil

lative totals for the first two

SIX MILLION QUARTS
HARRISBURG Approxi
mately 250 million quarts of
milk were produced in Penn
sylvania in February, six mil
lion quarts less than in Febru
ary 1966, the State Crop Re
porting Service said this week.
It represented a decline of
two percent from year ago lev
els, compared to declines of
three percent in Ohio, four per
cent in New York, and six per
cent in New Jersey.
Total milk production in the
nation was up one percent,
mainly as the result of an
eight percent increase in Wis
consin.
Pennsylvania’s trend was at
tributed in part to another drop
of 2,000 in cow numbers dur
ing February. The estimated
total, 752,000 cows, was 30,000
less than the number reported
in Februaiy 1966. Milk produc
