 bIncludes 2,922,100 pounds from Alabama milk producers.

 cIncludes 677,700 pounds sold in Alabama.

 dThere is an indicated discrepancy of 0.3 percent (761,000 pounds)
between total supply received at all Florida plants, as given in Table 33,
and total consumption. Some of the buttermilk and chocolate drink sold
was made from nonfat dry milk powder purchased out-of-state, which would
in part explain the discrepancy. Reporting errors probably account for
most of the balance.
