-10- produced in the Southern Region was 11.0 percent in 1960 compared to 12.i percent in 1945 and 12.8 percent in 1935. Production varied much more among individual states in the South from 1925 to 1960 than for the Region or the United States (Table 2). Only in Arkansas and Alabama did farmers produce less milk in 1960 than in 1925. The 1960 index of production (1925=100) for these states was 86 and 99 respectively. By far, the largest increase occurred in Florida, with the index of milk output at 619 for 1960. Production indices for other states ranged from 108 for Georgia to 190 for Louisiana in L960.
