lion 643 million quaits of milk
It sounds like a lot of milk,
but
The USD A noted that the Maich
total is down 2 peicent fiom last
year, then added an almming
note
The 4 billion, 643 million
quaits is the smallest amount of
milk pioduced in the U S in any
month of Maich since 1932
On the basis of population
changes, it means seven fewer
quarts of milk foi each man,
v'oman and child in the nation
Of the “big six” that account
foi moie than half the nation’s
total milk production, only Penn

Pennsylvania's production rec
dels pi ovule a sinking contrast
to those ol two neighboting
states most frequently compaied
to Pcnnsvlvani.i in this connec
tion—New Jeise.v and Ohio
In 1952, the ycai USD A pin
pointed as the picMOiis low
llaich pioductions. New Jersey
clan \ men pioclucod 528 million
quails of milk Last yeai 376
million quails weie pioduced
Of comse, theie has been a
marked deciease in the per cap
ita consumption of milk in that
time, and an increasing use of
skim milk in recent years De
spite these changes in the use of
milk, continued downward trends
in production could lead to ser
ious problems
It could, for example, impair
this nation’s ability to produce
enough milk to satisfy domestic
demands
Or it could encourage the use
of substitutes for this basic food

In the fiist quarter of this
yeai, the state’s total milk pio

quarts over the comparable per

Pennsylvania is one of only nine
states in the nation reporting in
creased milk production in the
fiist three months of 1969 The
others are Arizona, Colorado,
Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland! Ne
vada, Utah and Vermont
Ohio’s production in 1952 was
2,485 million quarts compared to
