Show Growth of Dairying In view of the growth of the dairy industry In many states, the question has arisen as to whether this may not lead to overproduction and consequent con-sequent loss. When all the facts a-e taken into consideration it appears that there is nttle cause for apprehension appre-hension on this score. For several years health authorities, authori-ties, parent-teachers' associations and home demonstration agents have urged urg-ed the Increased use of milk and other oth-er dairy products as a means of better nourishment and better health for both young and old. One effect of this campaign of education Is seen in the fact that more than 300,000,000 gallons of ice cream are now consumed consum-ed annually in the United States, or nearly three gallons for every man. woman and child. This is almost three times the per capita consumption consump-tion of 20 years ago. Some interesting experiments recently re-cently reported by C. U. Williams, manufacturer of Iceomatic electric refrigerators, showed that various animals nvew much faster when ice cream constituted one-third of the diet, due to the presence of a proper proportion oi proteins, carbohydrates and fats, as well as health-giving vitamins vit-amins and mineral salts. In addition to tho greater consumption consump-tion of ice cream, more whole milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products prod-ucts are also being used per person than formerly, and all this require;; Increased production. It is therefore there-fore safe to say that the dairy industry indus-try has before it a long period of growth and prosperity. |
