Importance Of Clean
Milk Stressed
In Demonstrations
“Throughout the ages, milk
has been recognized as an indi
spensable food, and milk is truly
nature’s most nearly perfect
food,” stated B. E. Goodale, ex
tension dairy products specialist,
during his discussion on “The
Production of Clean Milk and
Cream on the Farm” which was
a part of the all-day dairy prod
ucts processing demonstrations
held in Home Demonstration A-
gent’s office on June 21, 1943.
Mr. Goodale outlined the ess2n-
tials of producing and processing
clean milk from the cow to the
table, laying special emphasis on
cleanliness of barns, yards, cows,
milkers, utensils, and the utmost
importance of rapid cooling and
low holding temperatures. Clean
ing and sterilizing all milk uten
sils was stressed.
“Milk is superior to any other
food or combination of foods as
a source of calcium,” said Mr.
Ooodale in discussing the food
values of milk. “Calcium in one
quart of milk is equivalent to the
calcium in 28 oranges or 6 pounds
of cabbage or 7 pounds of carrots
or 27 pounds of potatoes or 39
eggs.
“One quart of milk furnishes . , ,
S2.4 grams of protein—about one- 1 * when field work s ac s up ’
half of the daily protein need of haul in ^ain straw, leaves, swamp
an average adult and one-third grass ’ and other litter for the
or more of the daily need of a compost heap. 2. Sow cowpeas
soybeans, or velvet beans now and
they will make growth to turn
under for soil building. 3. If the
acreage or prospective yield of
corn and summer forage crops is
not sufficient for farm needs,
plant additional acreage after
thorough preparation of soil. 4.
Plan for grazing during a possible
late summer drought. 5. Get
normal growing child.
“Riboflavin, also known as vita
min B2 or G, is indispensable for
growth—and for health and vigor
in adult life. One quart of milk
furnished as much riboflavin as
12 eggs or 11-2 pounds dried
navy beans or 2 1-3 pounds of
lean beef round or 14 ounces of
American cheese.”
Exhibits and charts added in
terest to the discussion and dem
onstration.
Attending the meetings were 25
farm men and women who sell
surplus milk, community or
neighborhood committeemen, old
er 4-H Club members, a repre
sentative for each home demon
stration club, vocational agricul
tural and home economics teach
ers, Farm Security home and
farm advisors. Much interest was
shown by those attending
County Xgent G. W. Bonnette,
and Home Demonstration Agent
Miss Matilda Bell were responsi
ble for the plans and exhibits for
the local demonstration.

PRICES TODAY ARE AT AN
ALL-TIME HIGH
We do not believe stumpage prices can go
much, if any, higher. A ceiling on pulpwood
prices has been set by the O.P.A. and the
\
O.P.A. shows no intention of raising the ceil
ing. And if you v wait in ~pe that the price
will go a few cents higher, you mry find
there is no labor available to cut it.
But, aside from your own financial advan-
1939 1941
tage, there is a still more urgent reason for
selling your pulpwood now.
Uncle Sam needs it! Needs it for a thou
sand wartime uses.
Many landowners can make a fine profit
for themselves; a real contribution to the
war effort; and actually increase the value of
their timberlands by scientific thinning of
their stands at this time. * y
Get the advice of the state forester.
Then get in touch with the dealer listed
below. He will help you get the best
price possible under the O.P.A. ceiling
on pulpwood.
