NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART V 331 



well as the detailed findings of our chemists are to be found in the 

 bulletin on this subject now in the hands of the state printer. The 

 fees paid to the State Treasurer under the Feeding Stuffs Law 

 amounted to $26,732.08, of which $23,157.08 was obtained from the 

 sale of tax tags and $3,575.00 paid for licenses by manufacturers of 

 medicinal stock foods. 



Our stock and hog raisers continue to be exploited by the manu- 

 facturers of inferior and frequently worthless medicinal stock 

 foods. This situation can not be effectively curbed under our ex- 

 isting law and this should be changed so as to" render adequate pro- 

 tection to the purchaser possible. 



HOW THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION REGARDS PURE BRED 

 DAIRY CATTLE 



By Everett W. Smith, Education Division U. S. Food Administration. 



Tlie Food Administration, as you know, is. very much interested in 

 the subject of pure bred dairy cattle and in leaflets sent out for general 

 circulation has gone on record, emphasizing the great value of milk as a 

 food, especially in the diet of children where it is indispensable and is 

 using every possible effort to maintain dairy herds. 



The Food Administration of course recognizes in this connection the 

 outstanding value of pure bred cattle. In certain countries, there have 

 been developed as a result of processes of selection of many centuries, 

 certain great breeds of pure bred cattle. We may reasonably expect to 

 find within these breeds the most efficient producers of dairy products. 

 Cattle of these breeds have been imported to this country and from the 

 standpoint of production, have been highly developed here. We believe 

 that the work done by the Breed and Record Associations, in promoting 

 the development of these breeds of cattle in this country, has resulted 

 in great good to the industry and to our people as a whole.
