Alaska Dairy Industry Grows
June is National Dairy Month
throughout the nation. The dairy
industry is one of the newest and
most rapidly growing food indus
tries in the State, according to
figures furnished by the Agricul
tural Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Alaska.
Between 1950 and 1960 Alaska
dairymen increased fresh milk
production from 3,000,000 to over
7,000,000 quarts a year. Most of
this increase occurred in the rain
belt area where some 600 to 800
people earn a living from the pro
duction and distribution of “na
ture’s most complete food.” This
local industry requires the equal
to a $6,000,000 investment. About
two-thirds of this is invested in
dairy farms and the remainder in
processing and delivery facilities.
A comparison of the farm and
retail prices of fresh grade A milk
produced in Alaska reveals an in
teresting situation favoring the
local industry. Since 1951 the re
tail price increased from 19c to

22c a quart in Seattle. In Anchor
age it has remained at 40c a quart
for the past ten years. In fact you
can now buy a half-gallon carton
for 79c. In Fairbanks a quart of
fresh milk costs less now than five
years ago. During the same period
the wage scales for most trades
have more than doubled. This
means that an hour’s wages will
now buy more local fresh milk
than ten years ago. A recent sur
vey of Anchorage households indi
cate they drink only about 80 per
cent as much as the average for
other Btates.

torn world. About a young German
soldier, played by John Gavin,
with shattered beliefs in Nazism,
