AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY H. G. Seyforth.

Most folks use too little dairy pro-
ducts they do not know the true
| food value and economy Of these pro-
ducts. The per capita consumption
of milk is something less than half
glass day. 1t should be three OF
four Only 112 Of a pound of but
ter is used daily; less than 100 of
| a pound Of cheese; ard two teaspoons
| of ice cream Yet milk and milk pro-
| ducts are the bast of foods. If the
low consumption OF dairy products
is due to lack of knowledge Of their
healthgiving, lifegiying qualities,
everyone has an opportunity to be-
| come informed this week Nobody
after this week should have to con-
fess that they do not know the ele-
ments fourd in dairy products--Milk,
| butter, cheese, ice cream-and their
| good effects on the human body.
| Grownups have an opportunity to get
| this knowledge at evening meetings.
Children will learn in school when
| talked to by the extension workers.
