DAIRY COW AN
ECONOMICAL PRODUCER

Two facts stand out prominently
as reasons for the increased produc.
lion and use of milk. The first is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-

or eggs. The second reason is that
the dairy COW is the most economical

time now. but for while after we first
got here I almost gave up hearing
from home at all. From the time |
left U. S. until 1 heard from babe it
was two months.
Jack, things are far different here
than YOU imagine them. 1 can see
from your letter a country that has
been at war for four years and war
like this one leaves things pretty
tough.
We had pretty tough shedding when
We hit here last winter. snow hip-deep

mountains. Picture yourself going up
North Fork with your bed on your
back and your rations in can and a
paste board box and no matches and
il January and you can imagine a gun
and so pounds on your back. That is
some of the pleasure we enjoyed land
ing here. If you think things like
that would make fellow like a
country. I differ with YOU.
For the first few months here we
went every day rain or shine. There
was no rest for the soldiers here. We
travelled two or three days and nights
sleep.

have to mix in this you are a good
