Luzerne dairy farmers according to the Pennsylvania Bur- eau of Crop Reporting. The area’s milk income was dis- closed by Robert C. McKinley; chair- Dairy Month Committee as he paid tribute to the state’s giant dairy industry. McKinley is ‘also general manager of Dairy Council Inc. of Philadelphia. “Pennsylvania is one of the larg- est milk producing areas in the world,” stated McKinley. “We rank fifth in the nation in value of milk. Last’ year, the Commonwealth’s dairy farmers produced milk valued at 326 million dollars.” McKinley said that in Luzerne County, 9,200 cows were milked each day in 1958, yielding 61,- 180,000 pounds of milk. (Milk is measured in pounds except to the consumer). Luzerne dairy farmers received $5,54 per hundred pounds of milk, a far higher price than the national average price of $4.12 ac- cording to the Pennsylvania State Crop Reporting Service. “The dairy cow has been with Pennsylvanians for a long time,” observed McKinley. “But not until the early 1800's did dairying be- come a major commercial enter- prise. Today the state’s cow popu- lation numbers around 930,000. Two counties, Susquehanna and Wayne, have more cows than people!

Chester 54th, Susquehanna 64th, say that 95th, and Crawford 98th. “In Pennsylvania; long famed for coal and steel industries, dairying has grown until it is probably the largest single industry in’ the state. Last year, milk’s income doubled that of coal. And despite the re- cession, dairying added over 326 million dollars to the local economy. In all, $326,438,000 worth of milk was produced in the Quaker state in 1958,” said McKinley. “Recently, the United States De- partment of Agriculture singled out the importance of milk in the diet by pointing out that milk products should total one fourth our daily food,” pointed out McKinley. “Milk continues to be the best buy in the house wife's. market basket,” he observed. “But besides milk’s niitritional ‘| value, Pennsylvanians love milk be- cause it is a fun food,” said McKin- ley. “For the 34th year in a row, the state led the nation both in pro- ducing and consuming ice cream. Enough ice cream was produced last year to serve double portions to every person in the world,” said McKinley. McKinley went on to point out Aq Are you on the road a lot for business?

That is why the Senate version of the labor bill, now pending in Congress, should be greatly strengthened.” —Dover, Del, State News he “One of the great dangers to thrift and the will to save, is in- flation. For if a man practices self- denial to save a dollar this year, and discovers next year that the eco- nomic manipulation of the money- wasters of Government has reduced that dollar to half its value; that man will lose faith in thrift.” —Chester, Pa., “Try to understand the problems of the boss because you'll probably be one yourself some day.
