MILK WORK BEING DONE BIZ
HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
BY Agnes Ellen Harris

One CT the most important features
of the home demonstration work TINS
year. is the campaign put on through
out the state, to increase the produc-
ton ami use of milk.
The one great lack in the diet OF
the Florida people. is milk. For TINS
reason and since milk is one OF the
protective foods for which there is
no substitute. and since authorities
say that every child should have
quart of milk daily and every adult.
one-third of a pint daily. the home
demonstration agents have attacked
the problem of increasing the use of.
milk in practically every county I'm
the state, and are getting good results.
Miss Edith Cole Young, of Hillsbcro
county, reports that at one school the
children are having milk drinking
contests, and at each of her visits to
the school, each child reports wheth-
err or not they have taken their daily
quart Of milk.
In Orange county, through the office
of the County Superintendent. plan
has been worked out by which school
credit is given for drinking milk.
Miss May Morse, a member of the
home demonstration staff of the Flor.
ida State College for Women, who has
been working on the milk question for
the last two years, gives most encour-
aging reports of the organization OF
the milk clubs.
Milk clubs have been organized and
April LIST contests begin for the splen-
did prizes offered to those who make
the greatest success in increasing the
milk production by the time of the
State Fair next year. The following
counties have from ten to thirty menu
bers enrolled in these clubs: Escam-
bia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton.
Washington, Jackson. Gadsden, Jener-
son. Madison. Suawanee. Baker. Clay,
Lake. Citrus. St Lucie. Orange. Osce-
ola and Pasco. It is expected that be-
tween now and April LIST. a few more

that America has nothing to do with

claims is not only secret. but sacred
