For several years the dairymen of the State of Connecticut have been trying to impress upon the consumer the value of milk as d food and the cost of this milk to the farmer Only n recent years has raise in the price of milk not curtailed it's con umption, and even in this period has this only been partially true Through circulization, institute work, etc. the Connecticut dairymen have put over q campaign of education whereby the consumer has been enlightened to great degree as to it's value and it's cost to the farmer. For years the farmers have produced milk at price which did not warrant their continu- anee in the dairy business, but know ing that the retention of dairy cows meant the success of future Connec- ticut agriculture, they have continued m then labors, hoping that some time in the future they would be able to receive | price that would be at least satisfactory from business stand point
 Through the efforts of the Dairy Department of our Agricultural Col Ieee. the Connecticut Dairymen's As
 
 dueefa Association. and the State Boar5 of AeHiculture., great deal of work has been lone both with the farmer hy iHstructing him in the prob lems relating to a low cost production e mIk. and with the consumer in ureipg Chem to use more milk and be willing to pay for the same 4 fair price for it's food nutrients when
 Q l. products
 Recently some of those engaged in agricultural extension work have made 1t their first aim to demonstrate to certain farmers that milk could be produced at very low cost It Is surely worth while to encourage and assist the farmer in the economical feeding of dairy animals. but we should all be careful not to use these few test records as an example to the farmer or the consumer as to what milk can be produced for on the aver age farm in the state of Connecticut. and we should also be very careful in using market prices of the labor and materials which enter into the cost price thus obtained If 1t were true that the farmers of our state or any ether state could produce milk for S039 per quart and 1t was being sold to the consumer at a price ranging from St2 to $.I5, the consumer could rehtly feel that the farmer was getting more than his share of profit
 At recent meeting of the Board of Agriculture exceptions were taken to the article which appeared in the New England Homestead of April 20 under the heading, What Does Milk Production Cost?" and the Secretary was directed to prepare an article in reply to the same; the members feel ing that t was not fair to put the in formation contained in the article be- fore the consumer without some mod i6eations In accordance with direc tons, the Secretary has prepared the following set of figures showing the cost of milk as produced by some of the best dairy farmers in our state:

The meeting will be presided over
by Judge Will Linn, city chairman of
the War Savings Stamp campaign.
Judge Linn is suggesting that those
desiring a choice seat, arrive at the
church early as it is estimated the
crowd will tax the capacity of the
building. This conclusion is drawn
frcm the presumption that everyone
win be anxious to hear how things
are progressing "oyer there" from
one who has been there for three
years and who knows.
Lieutenant Cadge has heard the
whine of countless bullets, emphasiz-
ed by bursting shrapnel. He has
been gassed and has felt the sting
of wounds. He should be in position
to give Chickasha people a jam uI
description of things as they are.
