Melgnurd of tho Knirvicw Cash eroainory, informs us that they aro much interested in the plans for the World's Dairy Congress to bo held in this country in October. This is to bo a gathering of tho world's leaders of the dairy industry, students of the dairv sciences and of human nutri tion. It was authorized by Congress and Warren G. Harding, Hard-ing, President of the United States, invited the nations of tho world to send delegates, ldie Congress will hold its opening sessions at Washington, Washing-ton, 1). C, October 2 and , P. 'Jo. continue them ut Phila ilolphia. Pa., October 4, and conclude with five days' session ses-sion at Syracuse, N. Y., from October to 10 in connection with tho sownteetli annual National Dairy Kxposition. The National Dairy Union, the protective organization of tho dairy industry which was formed to counteract the unfair competition of oleomargarine with dairy products, is one of the twenty-three national dairv associations sponsoring this in teinational met'ting. Tho Congress, conducted ill three cities, and the National Dairy imposition, held at tho same time at Syracuse, make a joint event which no dairyman can afford to miss. Kailroads in tho Kast and Central West have agreed to give special rates to Washington, Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, and Syracuse, and return rom Syracuse, of twenty per cent below the regular rates. Delegates have already been designated by thirty-Seven foreign for-eign nations, by many states and many dairy associations. The foreign visitors will bring a wealth of information about general conditions in their countries and of the progress and devedopfneut of dairying. The health value of milk and its products will be a big feature fea-ture of the Congress program. The world's leaders in untri-tion, untri-tion, child welfare and human health studies will present the newly discovered scientific facts' in their departments. Milk, we now know, is essential to human health. Hon. Herbert Her-bert Hoover, after his expen- 'ence in Kuropean relief work isays: "The white race can ,not survive without milk." I Army officers discovered a i large percentage of physically defective men in the draft and 'scientists have learned how i and why the proper use of milk and its products will prevent I such a situation from recurring I in the future. Producers of uairy products will understand that the wider the distribution of the knowledge know-ledge of these facts the more dairy products people will use, and the less they will use of imitation dairy products, and the better fed, nourished and equipped for life will be tlr; children and the adults. All this means a better and bigger market for the product of the dairies. It is not to be won dered that they are interested in the plans and success of the Congress, which has the dissemination dis-semination of this knowledge as one of its principal purposes. Mr. S. P. Melgaard hopes that one or more members of ! this community will attend the Congress and states that literature litera-ture about the Congress, the hotel accommodations and excursions ex-cursions to places of interest, as well as an enrollment blank, will be sent to anyone writing the National Dairy Union or the World's Dahy Congress Association- at .-Washington, D.
