Bossy Meets War Production Challenge
As Dairy Industry Supplies Vital Foods
Industry Observes Sixth
Annual June
Campaign.
CHICAGO.—June dairy month
brings a picture of 26,000,000
cows on nearly 5,000,000 farms
in the United States, each per
forming an important function
in winning the war. Quietly at
work in the barns and on the
pastures from Maine to Cali
fornia and from the Canadian
border to the Gulf, these 26,000,-
000 animals are daily producing
a third of a billion pounds of
milk.
That means an average pro
duction of 166,666 tons of milk
every day in the year. If placed
in ten gallon cans, 3,921,569 cans
would be required to hold an av
erage day’s milk production in
the United States. This is enough
milk to fill 6,666 big 25-ton tank cars.
If these were all put together in one
big milk train, we would have each
morning a train of 25-ton milk tank
cars 57 miles long.
The flow of this life-giving stream
of food rated by nutritionists as the
No. 1 protective food is of vital
importance to our nation at all
times, but especially so this year.
The Allied nations and the soldiers
of the United States must have milk
and its products. Factory and mu
nition workers have greater need
than ever for milk and milk prod
ucts. Office workers, housewives,
school children and all other classes
of the American population are com
ing to realize, as never before, their
need for greater quantities of these
vital foods in order to keep America
strong by making Americans strong
er.
Dairy Program.
Today the National Dairy Council
program, which the industry has
sponsored for 23 years, is finding
new recognition and new support.
A national nutrition program is ex
panding and materially strengthen
ing the realization of the fact that
good nutrition is necessary to opti
mum health, vigor and vitality. This
national nutrition program has been
in operation for more than a year.
Just how are these 26 million cows
and those responsible for the prod
uct meeting this challenge and this
opportunity?
We need not wait for that answer.
Those “bossies” and their masters
are meeting the challenge. Starting
with an average production of 104
billion pounds of milk during the
years 1935 to 1939; there was 111
billion pounds of milk produced in
1940; 115 billion 500 million pounds
of milk in 1941, and the production
for 1942 is estimated at not less than
120 billion pounds of milk to be pro
duced in the United States. In other
words, for each and every day of
the year, including Sundays and hol
idays, there is being produced more
than 44,000,000 pounds of milk over
that of five years ago. That is the
equivalent of a fully loaded milk
train of 50,000 pound capacity cars,
7% miles long over and above their
normal production.
Terrific Handling Problem.
Stated in terms of ten gallon milk
cans, if these were filled and placed
side by side, we would find that we
had every month a line of filled milk
cans 3,150 miles long over and above
the amount of milk that was pro
duced in this country in the same
period during the preceding five-
year period. Producing such a vol-
15 MILLION mote CANS OF MILK
LOS
ANGELES
Souatt- U S Departaant of AgrUukura
As its contribution to feeding the democracies, the dairy industry of
the United States has increased its production from 1935 to 1939 by nearly
15,000,006 ten-gallon cans of milk—enough cans to make a row from Los
Angeles to New York.
ume of milk in addition to the regu
lar supply is no easy task. Just the
job of hauling milk to fill 7V4 miles
of 50,000 pound capacity tank cars
from the farm to the milk station
or dairy plant each morning, is
enough to stagger the imagination
of the average individual, but that
is simply a little “before breakfast
chore” as compared with the extra
effort necessary to raise the feed,
do the additional milking and cool
and care for that extra 7%-mile
milk train load of milk each morn
ing.
Dry Milk Solids.
For many years, the cream from
about 45 billion pounds of milk each
year has been used for the manufac
ture of butter, including both the
factory and the farm-made product.
Milk made the difference—both
dogs had the same food, but the
larger one received a daily milk
ration.
Of this, about 30 billion pounds of
milk have been farm separated with
the remaining skimmed milk being
kept on the farms for feed fcr
calves, pigs and chickens. One of
the severe re-adjustments which the
industry has been called upon to
make in order to furnish sufficient
dry milk powder to the United Na
tions has been to shift from farm
separation of much of this milk to
the delivery of whole milk.
Manufacture of dry milk solids is
gaining rapidly and in March
reached an all-time high of 49,800,-
000 pounds. While the speeding up
of the manufacture of dry milk sol
ids has necessarily been delayed
longer than seemed desirable on ac
count of the vast amount of changes
in practice necessary, both on the
farms and in the plants; yet, it is
now gaining momentum rapidly.
Production today is approximately
120 per cent of 1941.
The three states of Wisconsin,
New York and California produce
more than one-half of all the dry
milk solids in the country at the
present time. Other states impor-
A dairy cow weighing 1,000 pounds (providing she maintains her
weight and produces 7,605 pounds of milk a year) eats approximately the
following amounts of feed in one year: two acres of rich pasturage
in five months of summer; 6,300 pounds of silage and 2,730 pounds of
alfalfa hay during the seven remaining montlls; and 1,700 pounds of
grain throughout the entire 12 months.
Ice Cream Consumption More Than Doubled
Long regarded as the "all Ameri
can” dessert, ice cream is rapidly
coming to be recognized not only as
an economical food, but since it also
contains all of the ingredients of
milk, as one of the best protective
foods. Within the past eight years,
consumption has risen from about
4% quarts per person per year to
over 10% quarts per person per year
in 1941. That figure is rising rapidly.
I« i cream takes the output of nearly
one million cows.
In the manufacture of ice cream,
Pennsylvania leads the nation close
ly followed by New York. These
two states produce more than one-
fourth of all the ice cream in the
United States. Illinois, Ohio, Cali
fornia, Michigan, Massachusetts,
Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Iowa and
Maryland follow in the order of this
productive importance.
tant in the manufacture of dry milk
solids are Minnesota, Michigan,
Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Idaho
and Vermont, in the order named.
The increase in the manufacture
of dry milk solids has forced se
vere changes in both farm man
agement practice and in the opera
tion of butter factories. Farmers
have had to adjust their operations
to new methods of feeding. Cream
eries have been obliged to put in
new equipment, to train new per
sonnel and to re-vamp their operat
ing and merchandising plans. This
is in addition to another difficult
problem which the butter making
industry must face every year and
that is, the varying seasonal produc
tion. During the year 1940 to 1941
butter manufacture varied by
months from a low of 115 million
700 thousand pounds in November
to a high of 205 million 300 thousand
pounds in June.
North Central States.
Most of these changes have been
brought about in the North Central
states where butter production is
the heaviest—Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin rank first, second and
third in the order named as the “big
three” in the butter industry in the
United States. After that come
Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri, Illi
nois, Ohio, Kansas, Indiana, Cali
fornia, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
South Dakota and Washington.
These 15 states produce more than
85 per cent of all the butter made in
the United States.
Cheese is another important dairy
product, the manufacture of which
has been materially affected by cur
rent conditions. Largely as the re
sult of the war and the demand for
American cheese abroad, production
of this product has been stepped up
enormously. The government re
quest in March, 1941, for 250 million
pounds of cheese amounted to an
urging, on its part, for almost 50 per
cent increase in production. The in
dustry has met that request and
more. Nearly 300 million pounds of
cheese had been provided for “lend-
lease” purchases from March 15,
1941, to April 1, 1942. Cheese pro
duction is now runn'ng about 150
per cent as much as a year ago.
Cheese is a product containing
practically all the ingredients of
fluid milk, and as such, it is one of
the first on the protective list of
foods. Its value and its importance
are gaining recognition rapidly. In
the production of cheese, Wisconsin
alone produces more than half of all
the cheese in the United States. Fol
lowing Wisconsin are New York, Illi
nois, Indiana, Oregon, Ohio, Mis
souri, Texas, Michigan and Min
nesota in the order of their impor
tance.
Evaporated Milk Industry.
War conditions have had an equal
ly important bearing on the evap
orated milk industry. To fill the de
mand for a concentrated milk prod
uct for the United Nations, the gov
ernment asked for a step-up in pro
duction sufficient to supply 25 mil
lion additional cases of evaporated
milk. This called for an increase of
more than 50 per cent in manufac
ture. It called for changes in farm
management plans, for adjustments
in evaporating plant operations, for
the training of personnel and for
shifts of merchandising methods
fully equal to those the cheese in
dustry met. Here again the goal
was equalled and more. Approxi
mately 30 million cases of evaporat
ed milk has been furnished for
“lease-lend” operations. In this in
dustry, too, Wisconsin leads with al
most 30 per cent of all the evaporat
ed milk production in the United
States. Ohio, California, New York,
Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana,
Washington and Pennsylvania follow
in the order named.
During June hundreds of thou
sands of dollars’ &orth of publicity
in newspapers and trade publica
tions, in food and drug stores, ra
dio programs, publicity stunts, ad
vertising material at point-of-sale,
soda fountains, as well as education
al programs, combine under the lead
ership of the National Dairy council
with the efforts of nutritional author
ities to make of this the most gi
gantic effort to bring home to all
people the realization of the need of
better health and the place of milk
and its products in achieving that
goal.

'Attention: A. Hitler’
T HIS is marked “Attention: Adolf
Schickelgruber, alias Hitler”:
You say the Jews and Poles are
“inferior races” and not fit to asso
ciate with your tribe of “Nordic
supermen.” So, ever since you came
to power in Germany, you have sub
jected them to the cruelest, most
senseless persecution that a so-
called human being ever visited
upon his fellow-men.
This is to tell you about some
thing which took place recently in
the second largest city of a land
where its citizens “hold these truths
to be self-evident: that a}l men are
created equal; that they are en
dowed by their Creator with cer
tain unalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness.”
In this city a great crowd of peo
ple gathered to dedicate this monu
ment:
That figure on the left is the like
ness of a man named Robert Mor
ris. (Possibly you wouldn’t know
about him, Herr Schickelgruber.)
That majestic figure in the center is
George Washington. (Surely you’ve
heard of him!) The name of the
man on the right is Haym Salomon
and—mark this well, Adolf!—he was
a Polish Jew! In fact, it was to
honor especially this scion of what
you would call a “doubly inferior
race” that this monument was
erected.
The reason they are clasping
hands, Herr Schickelgruber, is be
cause they once joined together in a
fight for freedom from the tyranny
of a stupid king in whose veins, in
cidentally, ran the blood of that
race which you boastfully call “Nor
dic supermen.” Now, 160 years aft
er their successful fight for liberty,
they are still clasping hands as a
symbol of the Unity that exists in
the nation which they helped create
and against which you declared war
last December.
This monument is symbolical of
another fact also, Herr Schickelgru
ber. You have conquered the na
tive land of Haym Salomon but
some day it will free itself from
your hateful rule just as the native
land of Robert Morris and George
Washington (and Haym Salomon’s
adopted land) freed itself from the
hateful rule of another despot of
German blood!
The Morris-Washington-Sajomon
monument which was dedicated in
Chicago recently pays belated trib
ute to one of the unsung heroes of
the American Revolution. Born in
Poland in 1740, Salomon came
to America in 1772 and set himself
up as a broker and commission mer
chant in New York city. He might
have made a fortune for himself
but he hindered his chances by join
ing the Sons of Liberty to help re
sist oppressive acts of the British
crown.
Imprisoned by the British soon
after the opening of the Revolution,
Salomon escaped to Philadelphia.
There he met Robert Morris who
had been made superintendent of
finance and upon whom fell the task
of providing the money to pay Wash
ington’s soldiers and keep the strug
gling new government from collaps
ing for lack of funds. It was to
Haym Salomon that Morris turned
when he was desperately in need of
money to keep the revolution going
and the Polish Jew never failed him.
The ledgers of Robert Morris,
which have been preserved, are
filled with no less than 75 entries
bearing the name of Haym Salo
mon and, although the total amount
of money which he supplied will
never be known, it is estimated that
it totaled at least $800,000. Although
it can not be proved definitely that
all of this was his own money, it
is probable that the most of it was.
And his reward? When he died
January 6, 1785, it was found that he
was virtually bankrupt. He left a
widow and four children facing pov
erty and it is a melancholy fact that
for more than 80 years his heirs
tried in vain to get recompense from
congress for the money which Salo
mon had lent to the patriot cause.
Besides providing money for the
expenses of Washington’s army, Sal
omon helped equip and form inde
pendent companies of soldiers for
whom there were no public funds.
He also advanced money to some of
the leading men of the time who
could not have continued in public
service without this help. Among
the famous generals and statesmen
whom he helped are these: James
Madison, $426; General St. Clair,
$220; Baron Steuben, $100; General
Mifflin, $738; Edmund Randolph,
$378; General Mercer, $5,373; and J.
Ross, $8,000.
Ice Cream — Perfect Dessert for a Shower
(See Recipes Below.)
Bridal Showers
Pretty, but practical—that’s the
cue for this year’s bridal showers.
Chances are this
year’s bride will
be an army or
navy bride with
but a whirlwind
wedding with her
husband on a
short leave, so
there won’t be
much time for
the frills and fuss
Her plans will be sketchy, most
probably, and very often they will
not include a permanent home or
bungalow. That means that bridal
showers will be simple and inexpen
sive and gifts for the bride-to-be
will include only things which are
not too elaborate, and which can be
packed in a small space in case
she is to travel or take’ a small
apartment by herself.
What kind of showers, then? Well,
there are always the personal show
ers in which you give her lingerie
or other personal toilet items that
you know she needs or wants.
Another practical shower is the
Kitchen Gadget shower. Get small
items like dish mops, kitchen knives,
forks, mixing spoons, dish cloths,
soap flakes, clothes pins and a few
sets of bowls. Glass sets are popu
lar, coming three in a set, fitting
together in a nest so they don’t take
up much room. They’re practical
plus, too, because they can be used
for baking dishes if you get the
heat-resistant kind.
Include measuring cups and
spoons, custard cups and small skil
lets and pots in the kitchen gadget
shower. A new bride will appreci
ate your thoughtfulness in getting
necessities like these for her.
The Kitchen shower is extra nice
because you can carry out table
decorations in the theme of the
shower. Make a bouquet of some
of the items for a centerpiece and
use the dishcloths for doilies or
place mats.
Sewing Shower.
Spools of thread in a riot of bright
colors tumbling out of an attractive
sewing basket can make the center-
piece for this party both novel and
economical.
There’s a variety of things to give
the bride in this kind of shower and
none of them will strain the pocket-
book—needles, hooks, snaps, darn
ing thread, thimbles, etc.—all these
are “musts” on the bride’s list.
Recipe ^Showers.
Is the bride-to-be interested in
cooking? Most of them are, and if
they are not, they will be soon.
That’s why recipe showers get
“most popular” rating often. For
this shower you and your friends
can gather together your most pop
ular and favorite recipes on cards
or in notebooks, or collect several
cookbooks to give the guest of honor.
Decorations.
Pretty up your table with pastel
and white colors. This is the time
to use your nicest linen and most
fragile china to lend daintiness to
the occasion. Color combinations
may be white used plentifully with
pink, green or pale yellow. Fresh
sprays of garden flowers, even in
small quantity add charm.
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: Egg produc
tion has been upped 15 to 20 per
cent to take care of national and
allied needs, so there will be no
shortage of this staple item.
Although there have been ru
mors of a tea shortage, tea will
be rationed on a 50 per cent basis
to assure plenty for summer,
thirst-quenching use. There is
enough tea in the country to last
eight months, and in spite ol the
war, shipments are still coming
in from India and Ceylon.
The War Production board has
allotted enough tin to the pine
apple industry for this year’s
pack and operations for produc
tion in Hawaii have been hiked
to the maximum. It is expected
that supplies will be somewhat
curtailed because the government
has reserved about 26 per cent of
the pack for its own purchaae.
