who puts the bottle on your door

"TWcfold purposes Of the cam
paign Mr. Rennie said are to
dlamatize the many uses Of dairy
foods l0r health, economy and
GOOD eating and to promote bet
ter understanding of the dairy
industry and its important part
IN Virgnia,s economic picture
Concerning the industry's con-
tribu,onS to Virginlas economic
stability Mr. Rennie stated that
dairying today ranks fourth in
Virginia agriculture. surpassed
only BY poultry, meat animals and
tobacco. BY conservative estimate,
the value OF milk producing cows.
young stock. not yet in production,
dairy farm buildings. equipment
and supplies totals approximately
$4,000 600. exclusive of real es-
tate. This represents one of the
largest operatlonal investments of
any agricultural industry in Viz
gjnia
Last year. VWginia's 10000 dairy
farms. employing $4,000 people,
produced and delivered 1.080,000.-
900 pounds Of fluid milk to milk
plants, plus 670000,000 pounds for
cream and manufacturing. This
production represented a gross re-
turn Of approximately S114,000, 900.
When YOU consider the inter
dependence of all industries" said
Mrs Rennie" it is apparent that
such an investment and return is
al important contribution to Vim

Virginia's milk production con-
t.nues to increase. Record produce
