Map Showing the Expansion of Milk Territory within Recent Years. 
In the district, which from its geographical position, natur- 
ally should supply Chicago, there are 42 condenseries, with a 
combined capacity of 2,447,000 Ibs. of milk per day, which 
divert the flow from its regular channels toward the city. 
This is one of the contributing causes, if not the only reason, 
why it has become necessary for the distributors of market 
milk to seek other sources of supply in Wisconsin, Indiana, 
Michigan, and to a less degree in Iowa.
