sin-neW tests and information on soil
management and analysis, the story
about the two so-called vitamines in
foods which are absolutely necessary
for growth and reproduction of an
imals-Which were first identified in
Wisconsin, bulletins showing the val
ue of milk as a fOOd-One of which
has recently been translated into
French by the Canadian government
and countless other vital facts and
discoveries in the world of agriculture
we're first made known to the world
through the medium Of the bulletins
of the Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station.
During the war period of 1917-1918
a big total of farmers bulletins, post
ers and circulars were distributed as
part of the war production campaign,
and WiscOnsin's response was ire
mendOus tribute to Wisconsin farmers
and to WiscOnsin's service from pub
licity."
GUM and northern Italy have suffered
similar fate and that the herds of
Sweden and Denmark have been great
" diminished, we may assume that
until these countries have again re-
stored the dairy industry within their
respective borders, they will turn to
he United States, and in particular
to Wisconsin, for dairy products.
They are already contemplating the
purchase of live stock from our c0un
try with which to replenish their eX-
hausted herds, but it will be years be-
fore conditions become normal and
they can be independent of outside
sources Of supply. At any rate,
whether we continue to supply Eng
land and other European countries
to the extent that we have supplied
them during the war or not, we may
expect that the entry of our high grade
products into many hitherto unknown
markets can only result in greatly
increased demand for them.
Condensed Milk Popular.
The manufacture of condensed
dustry in Wisconsin. The Spanish
American war marked the sudden rise
Of this industry to prominence, and in
the years Immediately following the
demand for evapOrated or condensed
milk increased remarkably. It's use
has steadily become more general and
the preparation of this product now
ranks third among the dairying indus
tries of Wisconsin.
Four years ago there were nineteen
condenseries in this state; today there
are fifty-fOur; and their product goes
all over the world OF course during
the war our evaporated and condensed
milk were used very extensively for
supplying the armies and navies Of
the allied countries, and many plants
have been established during the war
period.
American Ice Cream Famous.
America Is famous, and justly so,
for it's ice cream. This is a dairy
product and a most important one.
There was q time when ice cream was
considered as poisonous to the human
system; not so long ago it was con-
sidered a luxury, to be INDUCED in
only upon rare occasions; but today
it forms a staple article Of food. 1t
is recognized by dietftians az a high
ly nutritious article Of diet and it Is
rapidly becoming a daily item on the
American menu. Wisconsin Is now
producing and consuming about 81
100000 gallons Of ice cream annually.
There is no town so small but that it
is supplied with ice cream either
through local or nearby plants, and
the demand is not confined to the
summer months-the consumption Is
steady throughout the year.
1t did not require a world war to
bring the value Of matted milk to the
attention Of the public, for as far back
as eight or ten years ago matted milk
drinks were beginning to be feature
of all places where soft drinks were
sold
