ers felt they would have trouble
interesting veterans to return to
the farms after their taste Of life
IN the big city. a popular tune OF
that day expressed the farmers
concern "HOw'ya going to keep'em
down on the farm"
Today Wisconsin dairy farmers,
at least, are encouraging some OF
their best young people to go to
the big city. They find it a pretty
good way to get more Of the con-
sumers on buying terms with their
dairy products.
Typical Of their attitude is a
team Of Wisconsin State Agricul-
ture Department Specialists now
covering this area in the interest
Of Wisconsin Dairy Week (Febru-
ary Bismarck 81.
The group headed by a Wiscon-
sin Dairy Man w. T. (Bill) Reese
who serves as marketing specialist
for the State Agriculture Depart
ment. Also prominent on the team
is Department Nutritionist Joan
Hood, whose husband recently re
turned from Military Service to
operate a Wisconsin Dairy farm,
and Mrs. Barbara Brown, 90, Of
Indepent, Wisconsin, a former
State Officer of a Farm Youth

Washington where they viii be
guests of Wisconsin Senatorial and
Congressional representatives. They
have contacted the ARP stores and
arranged special displays Of cheese

attractive pennants, posters, and
International material.
The visit is part of a promotion

to mine states over a four months
period and estimated two million
five hundred thousand city fami-
lies will be contacted in the cam

program is an outgrowth Of tests
made with A&P in Detroit five
years ago.
The program, solidly backed by
Wisconsin's 100000 Dairy Farmers
is carried on with funds approved
by the State Legislature.
The State Agriculture Depart
ment originated the program when
dairy surplus began to build up
after World War II. The initial
appropriations have been increas-
ing as the promotion. grew.

The Bureau said that during

items more than offset increases
in prices of most fresh vegetables
