ICE CREAM EATING
SETS new RECORD
Gross Income to Farmers
From Dairy Products
Raised by Increase.

More ice cream has been consumed In
the United States in the last month
than at any time in the history of the
country and more is expected to be
eaten in 1880 than in any previous year.
The appetite of the American people for
ice cream has been one of the best sta
bilizers of agriculture, for it has re-
suited in steady market for milk and
milk products, for fruit and for sugar.
1t was estimated today that produc-
ton of ice cream in 1880 will exceed
$50, 100000 gallons. with retail value
of about $500 100000. This means that
the citizens of this country will average
81 10000 a day for ice cream. Some
days will double. triple or quadruple this
sum for the largest sales are made dur
ing hot weather despite the fact that
modern processes have made ice cream
Q part of the all-year diet.
Provides 90. Per Cent of Income.
Farmers received S1.965 $4,000 in
gross income from milk and milk prod
ucts produced on farms in 1923. the last
year for which figures are available at
the Department of Agriculture. The to-
tai value of the milk produced on farms
is placed at S2,06l ,464.000, but much
was consumed by the farm families and
was not sold. Thus between Sand 20
per cent of the dairyman's income re-
suited from ice cream consumption.
New processes have been largely re-
spons'ble for the popularity of ice
cream. 1t now is possible through new
refrigeration methods to store products
which could not be kept before. Cream
can be stored frozen with little if any
deterioration. 1t can even be stored In
paper cartons, obviating the expense of
returning and sterilizing cans. A better
grade of powdered milk has been de-
veloped and fresh frozen fruit now is
used all year. taking the place of
canned fruit and artificial sirups.
DRY Ice" Used
The tedious old process of turning
freezer embedded in ice and salt is out
of the modern picture. Ice cream is
frozen by the quick-freeZing process.
which not only saves time in freezing
and hardening but turns out a prosiuct
in which the ice crystals are much
smaller, giving fine, smooth texture
to the finished cream.
Marked progress has been made in
keeping ice cream after manufacture.
Dry ice, or solid carbon dioxide, is now
used for this purpose.
The carbon dioxide can produce at
temperature as low as ia degrees below
zero. The chemical reaction by which
the carbon dioxide returns to its
gaseous state produces intense cold. If
the ice cream manufacturer knows at
what hour the ice cream will be eaten
he can gauge accurately the dry ice
required and deliver the most elaborate
moulds in perfect condition for serving.
The cream is placed in specially in
sulated, corrugated paper carton, tight
~ sealed with gummed tape, in which
the dry ice also is placed but the two
are not in contact. BY the use of these
cartons the collection of tubs and cans
and moulds is obviated and delivery
trucks can handle many more orders
on a single trip.
