People of the world most have milk and milk products in ever-increasing quantities. Never was the necessity quite as vital as now. The dairy industry in many of the Countries of war-torn Europe has been, in a large measure, destroyed by the ravages of the sanguinary conflict Infant mortality in some of these European countries, following the loss of dairy cattle and dairy products, was something appalling during the year, and even is little better. The United States government has had commissions in Europe studying this condition; it has had commissions devoting deep study to the dairy situation in this country. And the government's message on the necessity for continued and increased production of dairy cattle in the United States and of milk and its products is to be delivered to the nations of the entire world at the National Dairy Show that is to be held this year in Chicago from October 6 to 12. As z Important as Any War Measure. Governmental heads at Washington consider this message to be as important as any delivered to the people while the great war was in progress. Congress has appropriated $25,000 expressly for the purpose of enabling those departments of the federal government Interested to exhibit at the (National Dairy Show, to deliver this ringing post-war mesage and to visualize to the people the relation of milk and milk products to human life. Through the department of state at Washington formal Invitations were lextended to all foreign governments to (send delegations or commissions to Chicago at the time of the National Dairy Show to get the message and lalso' to exchange information and Ideas. The management of the Dairy Show Is advised that already 17 foreign governments have accepted this invitation and will send delegations to the Dairy Show. It is probable that many others Will do likewise. Thus, the National Dairy Show of 1919 takes on an international character. It will be the post-war clearing house and bureau of information on the dairy Industry of the world. States Take Notice of the Show. Official recognition of the importance of the National Dairy Show this year to the country and the tfrorld at large will also be taken by governors of different states, in all probability. The United States government is asking for a large attendance at the show that its message may be heard by many ears and its very wonderful and complete exhibits may be seen by many eyes. There is no person in any way connected with the great dairy Industry of the United States —an Industry whos£ output runs up to the tremendous estimated total of three billion ($3,000,000,000) dollars a year—who should miss the Dairy Show. Thf government has a most vital and important message for all.
