production of diverse food products caused by the war has 

 opened vast new markets for, and has caused the demand and 

 consumption of condensed milk to grow by leaps and bounds. 

 The consumption of canned condensed milk in our home markets 

 has, also, been increasing rapidly \vithin recent years, and is 

 today assuming astonishing proportions. This increase has oc- 

 curred, in part at least, at the expense of the consumption of 

 fluid milk. While conclusive statistics on this subject are not 

 available, the trend toward larger domestic consumption of con- 

 densed milk accompanied by decreased consumption of fluid milk 

 is suggested in the following tables, in which Prof. J. O. Jordan, 1 

 President of the International Association of Dairy and Milk 

 Inspectors, shows the situation in the city of Boston, Mass. :
