Set al S28,339,000
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, July 24.-The an
nual report of the dairy and food
division of the State Department of
Agriculture and the Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service, issued to-
day, disclosed that the cash income
from dairy products last year was
s28 ,339 900.
The value of milk consumed on
farms where 1t was produced was
estimated at $19,147,0OO.
In addition, the report stated, the
sale of veal calves and dairy cows
accounted for a large part of the
sl8,711 900 realized by Virginia farm
ers from cattle of all kinds sold for
slaughter last year.
The increased production of milk
last year, S S. Smith, director of
the Dairy and Food Division, said,
was reflected in the increased pro-
duction of virtually all dairy items
manufactured in Virginia.
For example. he said, the produc-
ton of condensed or evaporated milk
increased from nearly 100000
pounds to high of 37,46l 900
pounds. Cheese rose to $4,000 pounds
for an increase of almost IS per cent
over the l94l output. Creamery
butter totaled 7,l35,000 pounds, as
compared with production of
1901 900 pounds in l94l.
The Fifth Federal Reserve dis
triots report covering the dairyins
industry ranks Virginia second only
to Maryland in the district in cash
dairy income.
