DAIRY PRODUCTS. 
The dairy products group, including cream, milk, butter, and 
cheese, amounts to $98 as an average annual consumption per family 
for allfamilies visited. As stated before, 14 per cent of these products 
are bought and 86 per cent are furnished by the farm. Considerable 
butter is bought, but very little milk and cream. 
Table IX shows the quantity of dairy products consumed, expressed 
in terms of quarts of milk. It is assumed that on the average 8 
quarts of milk make 1 quart of cream and 10 quarts of milk make 
1 pound of butter. Reducing the items to quarts of milk, it will be 
seen that the average annual consumption per person for all families 
visited is 550 quarts. The consumption per person varied in different 
areas from 434 to 746 quarts. More cream and butter were used 
in those areas where butter was made on thefarm. The farm supplied 
473 of the 550 quarts. The average number of persons per family 
for the families visited is 4.8, making the average number of quarts 
of milk furnished by the farm for home consumption 2,270 per year. 
In the southern areas it is assumed that the milk churned for home 
consumption of butter will furnish enough buttermilk for the family, 
and thus the equivalent of milk for the butter will cover that for 
buttermilk.
