Stress Importance Os Dairy Industry Represents Fourth Os Farms' Income Today, as final plans were being made for the dairy- veterinarian school to i>e held Wednesday in this city, county agricultural agent L E. Archbold called attention to the importance of the dairy industry in Adams county. Mr. Ar-hbold. quoting from figure* given by the national agricultural bureau, declared that in 1945 the amount of dairy product* sold in the county represented 24 percent of the county's source of income by value of farm products. This is a boost of 7 6 percent over the percentage of 16 t percent in 1940. just five years before. Dairy product* sold in 1945 totalled $1,699,573 in comparison to I the total farm in<om«M of $7.083,565. In 194)' dairy products sold totalled $554,731 of the total farm products value of >3,355,586. he said. Quoting further figures to point out the importance of f.r. in life in J Adam* county and the manner in 'which the dairy industry predomlinate*, be said that iu 1945 the farm 'population ill Adams county tolI ailed 8,414 or an average of 385 i person* per dwelling. As an interI «*tiiig sidelight it is shown that of 'the 8.411 persons, some 2,533 are under the age of 14. The value of Adams county farina, including land and buildiugs. jin 1945 was 925.u46.336 against 914.915,273 in 194». This lioost in value came about despite the fact that iu 1945 there were only 1.971 farms averaging 166.4 acres per farm agaiuxt 1.999 farms in l!)4<i. In that year, however, they averaged only ltrn.6 acres per farm. Value of fa. m implements and machinery in 1940 totalled $1,527,653. he said, which wa« bot Med to $2,525,823 in 1945. Since almost every farm In' Ad.ms count* produces milk In some quanity and since practically every person in th> county io a milk consumer.
