MILK SURVEY OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER 



dealers selling from 501 to 1,000 quarts daily; and the third group of 

 dealers selling over 1,000 quarts daily. The number of dealers in each 

 group of those selling raw milk and pasteurized milk, and the quantity of 

 raw and pasteurized milk sold by them is shown in Table No. 8. 



TABLE No. 8 

 RAW MILK AND PASTEURIZED MILK 



In the above table, one of the dealers in group No. 1 sells both raw 

 and pasteurized milk, and two of the dealers do not own pasteurizers, but 

 hire their milk pasteurized by others, therefore, while there are 27 dealers 

 selling pasteurized milk, there are only 25 pasteurizing machines in opera- 

 tion. It is noteworthy that out of 33,429 quarts of raw milk sold in the 

 city, 25,600 quarts are sold by the dealers in group No. 1, who sell less 

 than 500 quarts each daily. These 102 small dealers sell 76.6% of all the 

 raw milk sold. Contrasted with this, the 11 dealers selling over 1,000 

 quarts each sell only 1,084 quarts of raw milk in all, or 3.2% of the raw 

 milk sold. 



On the other hand a study of the quantity of pasteurized milk sold 

 daily shows that out of 44,160 quarts, the small dealers in group No. 1 

 sell only 1,816 quarts, or 4.1%, while the large dealers in group No. 3 

 sell 33,914 quarts of pasteurized milk, or 76.8%. The dealers in group 

 No. 2 selling between 500 and 1,000 quarts are more evenly divided in 

 their sales of raw and pasteurized milk, selling 6,745 quarts of raw milk, 

 and 8,430 quarts of pasteurized milk daily. 



FAMILY QUESTIONNAIRE AND HOUSE TO HOUSE 



CANVASS 



As one means for determining the use of milk by milk consumers in 

 the City of Rochester, arrangements were made for an inquiry by house 

 to house visitation of a sufficient number of families to give a fair index 

 of the uses of milk in the home.
