MILK CONSUMPTION
In a new Milk Facts booklet issued by the milk industry
foundation, charts show that the United States is one of the
ranking nations of the world in the consumption of dairy pro-
ducts. With per capita consumption of fluid milk at 153 quarts
a year, the United States tops all other countries except Switz-
erland iwith 232 quarts.
Annual per capita milk consumption in quarts for other
nations is: Denmark 144; Czechoslovakia 136; the Nether,
lands 120, New Zealand 112, Great Britan, France and Ger-
many 92, Australia 88, Belgium 68 and Italy 28.
Milk, in one form or another, comprises over 25 per cent
of the 1,500 odd pounds of food used each year by the aver-
age American. The average yearly production of milk in the
United States is approximately 48,777,000,000 quarts of milk
a year. Fluid, or fresh milk, which provides the farmer’s
highest return’, accounts for 29.2 per cent of the country’s
yearly production. Creamery butter takes 31.6 per cent farm
butter 10.5 per cent, while 12.1 per cent of the milk is used
on farms where produced. In making cheese, 5.9 per cent of
the total milk is used; ice cream 2.3 per cent and canned milks,
4.3 per cent.
Another chart shows a break down of the distributors milk
dollar. This shows that 44.03 per cent of the dollar goes to
the dairy farmers for milk; 26.16 per cent to labor, 8.75 per
cent for supplies, taxes 2.24 Per cent; depreciation 2.40 per
cent, profits 2.98 per cent, salaries, less than Vi of 1 per cent.
Within less than fifty years the production and utilization
of milk have so increased in this country that today we are
the greatest of dairy nations. Milk is our largest source of cash
income and the basis of an industry which for service and
volume has ffllw equals.
Around 25 million cows are milked daily on three quarters
of the nation’s six million farms—more than 45 million
quarts of milk are delivered to homes and stores. Mlik, cheese,
butter, ice cream and other dairy products create an estimat-
ed annual outfit of 3 Vs billion dollars.

“To break this earthly spell, mor-

It is interesting to note that Mc-

Brooks County
Statistics recently compiled by
industrial agencles on Brooks
County, land of the Jersey cow, ci-
trus fruit, and vegetables, reflect
the development and promise of a
South Tttcas area which not many
years ago was a wilderness of
brush and mesquite. The area ra-
diating from Falfurrias, county
seat, in years past became a vast
cattle range and In later years the
grazing lands gave way In part to
agriculture. Today the two lines
of agricultural endeavor are hap-
pily combined to form the econom-
ic basis of one of the prosperous
counties of South Texas.
Orignally almost exclusively a
cattle country, Brooks County to-
day combines agriculture and fruit
and vegetable growing with other
developments. Total value of live-
< rganization were set as March 10
and 11. and March 17 and 18. The
events will be held on the campuj
of the A&I College, according to
Paul M. Riley, secretary of the or-
ganization.
Several new rules were Intro-
duced as a part of the 1939 con-
tests. Most Important of these
directors of the meet considered
was one stating that a school
“must enter one of the group
events before it is eligible to enter
a soloist, and that the soloist must
be a member of the competing
group.” This will, the music men
believe, eliminate by more rigid
restrictions the possibility of t<>0
many entrants.
the county he helped create and
stock is placed at $1,686,350 while
agriculture In the county todav
has a value of approximately $1,-
000,000. Diversification has been
practiced to a point where today
the tomato, cucumber, watermelon
and cotton crops may be depend-
ed on for ready cash harvests
while the dairy cow and beef steer
stabilize the county’s economic
life.

County is Judge J. A. Brooks who
