Delaware County, which has many prosperous dairy farms, 

 contains about 50 milk establishments, a large number of which 

 are creameries, and the milk from nearly 60,000 cows is collected 

 annually. Over 280.000,000 pounds of milk pass through these 

 establishments, nearly half of which is sold as market cream,

 manufactured milk products of the county are 1,800,000 pounds
