On the whole, however, there is very little difference in these three pictures, and it does seem that there was very little shift in the source of milk as far as Massachusetts was concerned during these years. In this state in 1935 the locations of 107 flat-plan producers, 231 rating-plan producers and 260 use-plan producers were known (Figure 6). The map shows that flat-plan producers predominated northeast of the city and were relatively near to the market. Many use-plan producers were located in the southwest, although west of the city there were about equal numbers of use- and rating-plan Figure 6. Location of Producers according to Price Plans, 1935. In 1935 the average daily shipment of milk to Worcester by 676 Massachusetts producers was pounds. Table 5 shows that about 30 percent of the farms produced 100 pounds or less daily, 35 percent produced 101-200 pounds, and that the percentage of the farms decreased thereafter as the production increased, although there was a larger number of farms producing over 500 pounds than 401-500 pounds. The number of farms producing 101-200 pounds daily was so large that this class shipped the greatest percentage of milk. l^Lindsey, A. H., op. cit. for 1932 data.
