lesson Of the milk show is this-that
the wage Garner can live better and
have his money go further by using
more milk and dairy products"
Prof. NJ. c. Burritt, vice director of
extension, stated: Producers Of milk
have shown the cost of production by
demonstration and figures. and the
producers obligation ends at the con-
sumer's door. 1t is for the consumers
to find out for themselves the cost Of
distribution. We have shown milk to
be a valuable food by furnishing to the
public at the show milk dishes which
are delicious and nutritious. The pub
lie should interest itself moro than
ever in milk and It's products. for that
way lie greater health and greater
economy in the home
]. A. Weisenfiuh Of the Clover
Farms. the prominent milk distributor,
said: THE educational features of the
Dairy Exposition should be of great
benefit. 1t has been clearly shown
that as more milk is consumed the
public is better and more cheaply fed"
DIR. George 4. Hogue. director of
the Bureau of Dairy Industry, Divi-
sion Of Agriculture Of the State of New
York, said:
1T Is interesting to know that be-
tween 1918 and 1918 the cost of feed
for dairy COWS increased 100 per cent.
and labor 81 per cent, whereas the
average retail price of Grade L milk
iHyas advanced only 81 per cent. These
facts arc based on the State wide
census covering all the cows of the
State and all the milk consumed In
villages and cities. This survey shows
that only one-third OF a quart was
consumed per capita per day, which
means that we should at least double
the consumption of milk in New York
State, to provide proper nutriment
! and growth Of children and health
among adults"
DR.. Charles L. North, manager Of
the exposition, said: '"The primary
object of this exposition was to edu-
cate the milk consumers OF New
York city to understand the value of
milk and milk products as human
foods. Secondary objects were to
demonstrate the costs of milk pro-
duction, handling and distribution,
| and to promote better understanding
/ among the numerous bodies interested
| in different branches OF the milk prob
| lem. The large attendance Of the
public shows that the public Is deeply
interested in the milk supply.
New York city should use for drink
| ing purposes three times the quantity
OF milk 1t now uses. Children not
only need milk for the wonderful
| growth promoting substances it con-
tains. but adults require milk because
these same substances furnish vitality
to all the body tissues. There Is a
| growing belief that milk drinking fur
nishes not only bodily strength but
also immunity against infectious dis
! eases. II is not hard to believe that
| the vitality of growth and strength
also increases vital resistance against
| disease. The recoveries from tuber-
culosis OF persons on a milk diet are a
case in point
THE wonderful protective or grow
| ing substances in milk are concen-
| trated and extracted by the COW from
| the enormous quantity of green feed
the COW eats. Nature has put these
'vitamines' into green leaves. Man
cannot eat enough green leaves to get
all the vitamines he needs. The
cows wonderful digestive organs are
arranged to digest enormous quanti-
ties Of green grass and corn stalks,
and transfer the vital substances eN-
tracted into her milk
Milk comes very near to being the
elixir" of life so long sought. Such
wonderful food product deserves an
exhibition all its own each year.
