326 THE BOOK OF CHEESE 



If the total population of the United States is figured 

 at 100 million and the difference between the exports 

 and imports found and added to the total production, it 

 shows that the average person must consume about three 

 and one-half pounds of cheese in a year. 



In the past few years there has been considerable de- 

 mand for more of the foreign cheeses, such as Camembert 

 and Roquefort. 



307. Introduction of cheese-making into new regions. 

 The manufacture of Cheddar cheese is being encouraged 

 in new regions, in the Alleghany Mountains, in Virginia, 

 West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and in the 

 western states. There has also sprung up a considerable 

 demand for the lactic acid group of cheeses, especially 

 Neufchatel and Cottage, so that while the cheese industry 

 may decline in certain sections, the total production will 

 probably increase. In the proper locations or sections, 

 the cheese industry has a very bright future. The devel- 

 opment of the skimmed-milk cheeses will undoubtedly be 

 given considerable attention in the next few years.
