Two weeks ago Carbon and Emery
counties were benefited by four DAYS

dairy expert for the extension divl-
sion Of the Utah Agricultural college.
Mr. Eldredge for the past fourteen
years haH probably produced some Of
the cieancst milk products that has
gone on the market This milk has
been distributed among the people Of
Salt Lake city and has been used by
hundreds of little babies.
While Mr.. Eidredge was In our
community he met with us In Price,
Huntington. Castle Dale, FcrrOn and
Wellington. We had good apprccia-
tive crowds attend tho meetings in
each town and many will no doubt
profit from the excellent advice given.
lie spoke on tho home mich COW and
sanitation OF milk. Probably n more
families would use more sanitary
methods. M he suggested. there would
be fewer sick babies and fower babies
die throughout our rural districts.
