Under 500 ewt, 
Milk is sold to a considerable extent in all divisions, but the 
north-western is the chief source of supply with an annual sale 
of about 187 million gallons. Next in importance from this 
aspect are the south-western and west midland divisions with 
sales of a little over 100 million gallons, the south-eastern and 
east midland divisions following fairly closely behind, The 
south-western is the chief seller of butter, while as regards cheese 
the north-western division exceeds the combined figures of the two 
divisions next in order, the west midland and south-western. 
The chief milk selling counties in relation to their size are 
Cheshire, Stafford, Derby, Wiltshire and Lancashire; the butter 
producing counties, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Cumberland, 
Devon and the north-west and south-west of Wales; and the 
cheese counties, Cheshire, Flint, Salop, Lancashire and Somerset.
