Dairymen of Pleasant Grove Area Join in Observing June Dairy .Month Dairymen of the Pleasant Grove area are joining' others in the state in commemorating June Dairy Month, officially proclaim ed as such by Governor J. Bracken Brack-en Lee. Horace J. Gunn, general chairman, chair-man, June Dairy Month committee, commit-tee, said that Utah's observance would include addresses on dairying dairy-ing and its products before civic groups, special events, and dairy foods specials in the food markets. "American homemakers spent an estimated 63 billion dollars for food in 1954," Mr. Gunn said. "A.bout 15 per cent of that total, or 9V2 billion dollars, purchased milk and milk products. While the homemaker was spending 15 per cent of her food budget for daiiy products, she was actually buying 30 per cent of her family's nutritional needs. On a nutritional basis, this makes daily products the most economical source of vitamins, vit-amins, minerals, protein and energy-supplying foods. "The industry which puts these dairy foods on the store shelves or home doorsteps is the biggest agricultural enterprise in the nation. na-tion. Not only does it involve more than three million dairy farmers, but there are also an estimated seven million other people employed em-ployed in the hauling of the milk from farm to processing plant, in bottling or manufacturing the milk into such products as butter, cheese, ice cream, evaporated mill'., cottage cheese and nonfat dry milk solids. Then there are all the people involved in distrib-utin distrib-utin the dairy foods from plant to mi ore or doorstep. " "Utah's dairy foods rank with the finest in the nation," Mr. Gunn concluded. |
