last month 1875 youths averaged
$9.01 each in sales of whole milk
to the Carnation company, John
A. Arey, dairy extension specialist
of N. c. State college, announced
today. The highest average was
in Alexander county, where 10 of

The other counties in which the

Arey said that the clubs, for f.

ages of 10 and 81, were started
early last spring. The Carnation
company, which is operating the
largest of all it's condenseries in
the world at Statesville, agreed to

in securing good COWS for some of

N. c, DAIRYMEN'S
MARKET WIDENED
OF Milk Being Con-
densed And Utilized In Food
Industry Increased
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
NJ "A GILL; G>ll>A

RALEIGH, Sept. 29.-R-The
last year has seer a marked in
rease in the amount of local milk
being condensed and utilized N the
dairy and food industry of Norrh
Carolina. W. l.. Clevenger. dairy
manufacturing specialist of N. c.
State college, said today.
This increasing demand, he ex
planned, is giving Tar Heel dairy
men a greatly expanded market
for the fluid milk produced in ex
cess of that utilized at home.
The farm value of milk a n {
c1eam so utilized totals more thar
$40, 900, 600 annually, yet, the State
college specialist pointed out, tina
North Carolina consumers use be
tween 20, 600, 600 and 80, 000,C !
pounds of imported cheese and.
butter, which costs them approx.
mately 1000, 900.
The consumption of fluid milk.
evaporated milk, ice cream. cot.
tage cheese, and store cheese have
increased rapidly, probably as
much as Is per cent in the pas1
five years. One of the creates
contributing factors has beer d
higher and more uniform quality
of products produced under more
sanitary conditions.
Still, the specialist stated. North
Carolinians could use much .rore
milk and milk products. The aver
age Tar Heel drinks four-tenths OF
a pint of milk daily, an amount
well below the national average.
Actually, better health would re-
suit if the average person con.
sumed at least one pint a day The
children need one quart .1aily.
North Cardinals milk-proc ,ssing
industry is not tagging, however.
Annually there are 30, 900, 900 pounds
of farm butter made, as well as
$500, 900 pounds of creamery but
ter. In addition, plants are turn
ing out 500, 900 pounds of factory
cheese 200, 900 pounds of cottage
cheese, 1900, 900 gallons of ic e
cream, sherbets, and novelties, an
40, 600, 90 gallons q; market milk,
cream, and butter1nilk, proc essed
and distributed to the urban trade.
In the state, there r approx.
mately 700 milk producer-distrib
utors, "a milk pasteurizing units,
"a ice cream units, % creamery
butter units, one cheese unit one
ev%aporating milk unit, and a stead
lily increasing number of milk-re-
ceiving stations.
Herd improvement, better feed
ing and management PRACTICES,
close attention to sanitation, and
other approved dairy practices
have paralleled this growth, Gle
