Pa. Milk Cows Set
Production Record
Milk cows in the Com
monwealth set a new record high
for a single month in May when
they averaged 950 pounds per
cow, according to a report this
week from the Pennsylvania
Crop Reporting Service. This IB
approximately 110 gallons.
Despite a continual reduction
in the number of milking cows in
the state, the new record com
bined with normal seasonal gains
raised production to 658 million
pounds, a 3.5 per cent increase
over April production figures.
This is also 4 million pounds
more than May of last year but 6
million pounds less than May,
1970, when Keystone State dairy
farmers were milking 21,000
more cows.
Milk production in the U.S. was
similarly up one per cent over the
same month a year ago as 26 of
the 33 dairy states also reported
new monthly average records.
May milk totals reached 11,307
million pounds across the
country.
Pennsylvania ranks sth in milk
production with its herd of 693,000
cows representing nearly seven
per cent of the national herd.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN WITH...
SOLAIR SYSTEMS
WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGY!
With our completely covered lots and a sun roof
with an open peak, ram water does not enter the bay
area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is
obtained. An "all-drained" floor system is installed
and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be
scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system.
By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is
not polluted.
Yes, since your urban neighbors and government
fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help
you build a system that will put you ahead on the
pollution problem.
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in
less bacteria action and fewer odors.
