The average American consumed
more milk and manufactured dairy
products last year than ever before,
the Agriculture Department re-
ported.
Consumption averaged 842 pounds
per person compared with 8O8
pounds in 1888 and the previous
high volume of $40 pounds in 1881.
The consumption of the Nation as

pounds in 1888.
The department said the per cap
ita consumption of manufactured
dairy products-butter, cheese, con-
centrated milk and ice cream-was
the largest in more than 40 years.
This was due primarily, the depart
ment said, to a 6 per cent increase
in consumption of butter and a S
