Foreword and Acknowledgments 



The present study was undertaken as a part of the regional research pro- 

 ject entitled "The Production-Consumption Balance and the Efficient Utiliza- 

 tion of Milk for Non-Fluid Uses in the Northeastern Milksheds". Four 

 states in the Northeast region cooperated in this supporting project. They 

 were Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and West Virginia.

 representatives of the cooperating states, viz., Fred C. Webster, Vermont 

 Agricultural Experiment Station; J. R. Bowring, New Hampshire Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station; H. G. Spindler, Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station; and J. H. Clarke, West Virginia Agricultural Experiment 

 Station. The author wishes to express his appreciation to these technical 

 committee members for their assistance in the preparation of this report.
