No. 123.] REPORT OF GENERAL DAIRY AGENT. 149 



tions were found to be models of their kind, and in all instances 

 in most excellent condition, reflecting great credit on their 

 general manager, Mr. E. O. Bradford. The general agent 

 attended the Milk and Dairy Farm Products Show in New York 

 in May, and earlier went to both New York and Detroit to 

 investigate the utility of the Fordson tractor. Concerning the 

 latter trip a separate report was made to the secretary at the 

 time. The Bureau also furnished several important witnesses 

 and considerable literature on the cost of milk production before 

 the Regional Milk Board hearing held early in the year. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



A new illustrated folder on "Food Value of Milk" has been 

 prepared by the general agent, and 105,000 copies have been 

 printed. New editions and new leaflets relating to milk and its 

 products, labeled B to T, inclusive, have been prepared, and 

 105,000 copies printed. Two special leaflets, AA and BB, 

 illustrating the importance of milk in connection with other 

 food for children, have also been prepared, and 300,000 copies 

 printed. A combination of these last two, under the title of 

 AA-BB, has been prepared, and 20,000 of each printed in the 

 Italian, Polish and Yiddish languages. Illustrated milk folders 

 numbering 20,000, together with 20,000 advertising milk cards 

 and 5,000 posters, were printed for cottage cheese week dis- 

 tribution, the object being to advertise the value of milk, cot- 

 tage cheese and other milk products as desirable and economical 

 food.
