Milk Production Slows
As Cow Numbers Drop
HARRISBURG Milk pro
duction in Pennsylvania has
slumped 36 million quarts this
year, the State Departm. nt of
Agriculture has announced.
State Secretary of Agricul
ture Leland H. Bull attributed
the decrease to a decline in
the number of cows.
He said production during
the first seven months of this
year totaled 1 billion 968 mil
lion quarts. Last year’s produc
tion for the same period
amounted to 2 billion 4 mil
lion quarts.
Cow numbers in July were
estimated at 738,000, the low
est in the state since 1870 and
24,000 less than in July 1966.

Every step in the production of
Hoffman wheat, barley and
oats gets its share of pain
staking attention . . . for each
plays its part in producing
higher-yielding, better - paying
crops. Hoffman care is reflected
in such things as hand-roguing,
and trimming of edges of seed
grain fields for weed control.
It’s evident in the exhaustive
laboratory tests on the final
product, and the careful hand
ling it gets every step of the
way.
It’s our conviction in seed
production, everything is im
portant!
