STATE’S 4-H’ERS WILL BOOST MILK OUTPUT TO FEED FIGHTERS IN ’43

Military food experts emphasize that men in our armed forces leach need at least a pint of milk daily. Indiana’s 4-H Dairy club members are responding to that need for increased production through better feeding and management of dairy herds, and more careful handling and cooling of milk. The 4-H'ers are perfecting themselves for the task by participating in the current National 4H Dairy Production activity, in which they learn and practice approved dairy methods, and demonstrate them to others. To encourage 4-H boys and girls of all ages, the activity is divided into ("lass A for dairy club members owning one or more heifers not yet in production, and Class B for mem bers owning one or more milk-

producing cows. Awards for outstanding records of achievement are provided by the Kraft Cheese Co. on county, state, sectional, and national levels. They include medals for both Class A and B county winners; eight $25 War Bonds to a blue award group in each state, and ail expense trips to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago to the two highest rating participants in each extension section, and two at large. Five of the sectional winners will be selected to receive the national award of either a S2OO War Bond or scholarship. The activity will be conducted, along with other 4-H wartime projects of production and conservation, by the Extension Service of the State Agricultural Colleges and the U. S. Department of Agriculture cooperating. Full details of this activity are obtainable from county extension agents.
