This is bj Mr. P. M. Harwoodj general agent of the Dairy 

 Bureau of the Board, and is primarily intended as a means 

 of educating the consumer to the fact that milk is a valuable 

 food, even at 12 cents a quart. Interesting comparisons are 

 made as to the actual food value of milk as compared with 

 other food products. This is the first of a series of circulars 

 which will be published by the Board. Circular IlTo. 2 will 

 deal with insecticides and fungicides and their application, 

 and will be published in the near future.
