Table I. Daily Distribution of Milk and Cream' in New Hampshire 



Markets (1935-1936) 



1 Cream expressed as milk equivalent. 



2 Roughly in order of population, 1930 Census. Non-coincidence of Control Board areas with 



census divisions makes exact ranking impossible. 



3 Not included in Total. 

 * College town. 



^ Summer only. 

 8 Resort town. 



Markets dominated by neither dealers nor producer-distributors 

 include Concord, Keene, and Laconia. And markets served largely by 

 producer-distributors include Claremont, Rochester, and most of the 

 smaller communities. 



Table I shows the wide variation in number of dealers and producer- 

 distributors from market to market. Store sales are included to make 

 the picture complete. In the larger cities, the number of stores handling 

 milk may greatly exceed the number of other distributive agencies. This 

 situation is reversed in the smaller markets, where producer-distribu- 

 tors ordinarily outnumber stores. 



(4) Extent of Milksheds 



Milksheds differ in extent. Production densities being equal, the 

 larger the market the farther must it reach out in order to satisfy its 

 requirements. Where, as is frequently the case, production densities 

 also vary, another factor must be considered. The Keene and Berlin 

 markets illustrate strikingly the effect of different production densities
