This dance is us-i^o^e. ually considered the dance of the; airman; Jno. J-' ONE OF EVERY TWO STATE vice - chairman; will be added to the crippled cren’s fund of the club. Dairying is now the largest branch ,f agriculture and the largest indus-j iry in the world, says Prof. F. M. Haig of the North Carolina State Col lege. Dr. C. W. Larson, former chief of ih< Bureau of Dairy Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculutre, says: “Fifty years ago the dairy indus try was undeveloped, unscientific and relatively unimportant. Totjay the .lairy industry of the United States is the largest and most vital indus try in the world. It has a more far reaching effect upon health and pros perity of this country than any other industry.” In 1923 the total milk produced in the United States was one hundred and ten billion pounds. In 1926 this amount had increased to tftie enorm ous sum of one hundred and twenty- one billion pounds of milk In 1926 the average consumption of dairy products per capita was: Milk, 553 gallons; butter, 17.82 pounds; cheese, 4.36 pounds; con densed milk, 14.32 pounds and ice cream, 2.77 gallons. Thus it is seen that dairying 's on a soujnd and healthy basis. The population of this country is increasing at tflie rate of more than a million and a half each year and each person is consuming more dairy products each year. In fact, since 1916 productions and con sumption of dairy products has in creased 31 per cent. This great in crease in production has been brought about, while the number of cows per thousand consumers has decreased 16 per cent. This shows that the dairy men are improving their cows, by proper methods or feeding and breed ing, thus getting a great deal more milk from less cows. Successful dairymen are not trying to see how large a herd they can breed but are trying to increase the production of each cow. There is no economy or profit in keeping twenty poor produc ing cows when ten good dairy cows will produce more milk than the twenty poor ones. In 1916 the aver age milk produced per cow in the United States w'as 3,70Q pounds, i while in 1926 the average production! jumped to 4,700 pounds per cow. High Food Value Pure milk contains everything in perfect proportion, including miner-1 iils and vitamins, for the growth and health of young and old, in the most digestible and economical form. Every! child should have at least one quart! of milk per day. ! There is no substitute for butter, i P. is a wonderful food and gives heatj and energy, aids in growth and helps j ir digestion and assimilation of other! foods. Nothing adds more to the pal- atability and enjoyment of a meal than butter. j Cheese is a real food and is notj sufficiently appreciated and used. It[ contains nearly twice as much pro- ■ tein as average beef, and its fuel value is more than tw'ice as great. ' Ice cream is delicious, nutritious | sn(i good for everyone, young or •"'Id, sick or well, on any occasion. In recent years the manufacture of ice ■ ream has developed into an enor- j ir.ous business. j During the past few years tihe use j 'J.' milk drinks at soda fountains has ^ Kteatly increased. They are refresh ing, nourishing and wholesome. Thus, the consumption of dairy pro- t^iucts has greatly increased during the past ten years. A survey made l)v the National Dairy Council during j the year 1920 indicated that approxi-j mately 20 per cent of the consumer’s food dollar was used for dairy prod-* tuts. Increased consumption raised this to 25 per cent in 1926. Dietary ficientists state that in the interest of health and efficiency at least 30 per 'ent of the consumer's food dollar >’hould be expended for dairy prod ucts.
