Prevent Sour Milk
Losses In Summer
Good sanitation coupled with a
quick cooling- after nvilking will
help prevent sour milk losses arid
provide more good milk for the
fluid milk trade and manufactur
ing purposes this summer.
Souring of milk is caused by
bacteria, which convert the milk
sugar into lactic acid, says John
A. Arev, in charge of Extension
dairying at State College.
He, explains that regardless of
all tile sanitary precautions that
can be taken, some bacteria will
be introduced into the milk dur
ing the milking process. On the
other hand, their development
can be retarded by immediately
cooling the milk after it is taken
from the cow.
lie suggests mechanical •refrige
ration on those farms that have
electricity, reducing the tempera
ture of the milk to about 45 to 50
degrees. On other farms the mily
can be cooled in wooden barrels.
The water should come as high as
the outside of the can as the milk
in the can; there should be at
least three times as much water in
the barrel as there is milk to be
cooled and the water should he
changed as often as necessary to ,
keep the milk sweet.
Sanitation is very important.
All vessels which come m contact
with the milk should he thorough
ly cleansed and sterilized after
each use, according to Arey. Tlve j
cow's udder should he washed and I
dried with a clean cloth before
milking, which should he done j
with clean dry' hands or a thor
oughly cleansed and sterilize. |

CHICAGO.—Planning on hav

Don’t do it, suggests the Na
tional Safety Council. Instead,
stay close to home, take it easy,
and help prevent an avalanche of
holiday accidents that would de
lay the knockout Mow to the Jap
With an appeal to "put victory
first on the Fourth." the Council
is asking every citizen to enlist
in a nationwiwde campaign to
a,vert the usual huge holiday toll
that this year would waste man
power, material and time needed
to speed final victory.
One hundred and thirty other
national organiations have joined
the Council in the holiday safety
campaign, designed to help public
officials, traffic officers and safetv
leaders hold the Fourth of July
accident toll down to a minimum i
“There are indications," said
Med II. Dearborn, president of j
the Council, “that a lot of pepp -
are going to find it hard to resist
the combination of a little more
gas in the tank and the feeling
that ‘it won’t he long now.'
“We ask th» se peonlo to remem
her that the Japs couldn’t ask for
anything better than this. A 4th

, SWEET POTATOES FROM
STATE POPULAR ITEM
I WITH MEN IN SERVICE
Sweet potatoes from North
Carolina will play an important
part in the diets of Pacific G I’*
this year.
Approximately 2,400,000 bush
els of sweet potatoes will be de
hydrated in 1945 to produce 20
million pounds for overseas ship
ment, according to the War De
partment.
! One of the most popular items
on the menu l'or thre military for
ces, the potatoes are served on
about every tenth day in baked,
candied or glazed forms, accord
ing to the Quartermaster Dept.
First tests on dehydrated sweet
potatoes were made early in 1942
j scientists of the American Can
i Company being asked to work
! with the Quartermaster Depart
i merit. on variu's problems of pack
I aging. The potatoes are packed
live-gallon cans especially coa
i led for overseas shipment.
Indicative of the space saving
accomplished by dehydration, of
ficials of the Quartermaster De
partment say that seven and a
half pounds of dehydrated sweet
potatoes will serve 100 men,
whereas about one bushel of the
fresh potatoes would be required
for the same number.
Crops in the Southern Hemi
sphere have been reduced by tHa
I drought. Argentina, Brazil, Aus
tralia, and the Union of South
Africa are aflected. This means
less food for Europe.
