MONDAY, MMUAKY 20, Kty Spof Penn Fifth In Milk Production THI DAILY COUftlCft, CONNIUSVIUI, PA. FAOI THIRTKN Secretary tf Africutturt Written United International Pennsylvania occupies a unique position in relation to our country's dairy Industry. It one of five key milk producing states strategically ioqa.ed to serve major population centers of the United States --Pennsylvania and New York in the East; Minnesota and Wisconsin in the Mid-West, and California in the Par West. Together, these five states produce about 45 percent--almost half--of the nation's milk supply. Moves Up In 1950, when the impact of post-war agricultural change began to make itself felt, Pennsylvania ranked sixth among the 48 states in milk production.

By 1965, Pennsylvania had taken over fifth place in the ranking from Iowa as a result of a 24 per cent increase in the amount of milk produced annually. The increase boosted output from 5.6 billion pounds to 7.2 billion pounds. I The real significance of this, increase cannot be fully appreciated, however, unless production and population are compared on an individual basis. In 1950, total production of 5.6 billion pounds meant that Pennsylvania dairymen produced enough milk to provide every man, woman and child in the state with 249 quarts. Reduced to an even more simple comparison, it meant 4.8 quarts a week for each person.

By 1965, milk production in the state had not only kept pace with population growth; it had exceeded it. Total production that year (7.2 billion pounds) was equivalent to 281 quarts of milk for each resident of the Commonwealth --or 5.8 quarts a week for every person. The increase in production, on a capita basis, represented 32 more quarts of milk a year per person. That in itself was a unique accomplishment, especially in light of population growth. Proportionate Drop The nation as a whole, and many states did not fare as well.

Trends in per capita, milk production rates generally I1965 from 309 to 2 35 quarts. were contrary those that de- Matt of JOE PALOOKA COMING INTO THe STWTCHITV MK, W7S ANIH6CKSON6tKL.
