much more than the usual atten-
ton Of farmers and breeders

The attention CT general con-
sumers OF dairy products. not only
In the larger cities of the State,
but In many smaller PLACES, is be-
ing specially attracted to the dairy

Is evidenced by a growing ten
dency to adopt rigid standards of
Inspection.

the product consumed In the State,

the widest possible field for de-
velopment, and that those eligible

signed to show the practical opera
