✦ Synopsis

Pennsylvania State College, School of Agriculture and Exp. Sta., Bull. 245, 16 pages, I93O) have published data concerning the consumption of dairy products by 1,37o families resident in various parts of the city of Philadelphia, and representative of the different incomes, nationalities, and occupations. During the 5 year period, from 1924 to 1929, total milk consumption increased as the result of increases in both population and per capita consumption, the latter having attained a value of 0.68 pint daily in I929, and having increased 11.6 per cent. during the period. The consumption of milk and of other dairy products (cream, condensed milk, skim milk, buttermilk, cheese, ice cream, butter, butter substitutes) was influenced by income, nationality, and size of family. However, the use of condensed or evaporated milk and of butter substitutes was relatively slight. Milk consumption was lowest among negro families.
