MILK AND MOPE

Now and again a topic of debate at meetings of Women’s Institutes and branches of the Women’s Farmers’ I'nioii is: How can we New Zealanders increase consumption of our dairying productsA London woman writing on tile subject recently said: "It (England could be iiiilneed to change her habits am.l become a coffee drinking nation like America is, it might be the means of doubting lier milk consumption and thus providing a solution of her agricultural problem. That America consumes 56 gallons per head of the population as against 21 gallons per head in England is said to be due to the Americans’ fondness for coffee which they usually mat' with milk.” If New Zealanders dropped tea and adopted coffee or cocoa as the national beverage, because both are ideal as an all-milk drink —then the above question would be well answered. And what a healthy race we would become, for New Zealand milk is the veribest in the world.
