USE MORE MILK

DAIRY BOARD CAMPAIGN PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. BREAD-MAKING METHODS WELLINGTON, April 16. The Dairy Board at a meeting last week, after re-assorting its stand against the restriction of free entry for New Zealand dairy products into England, discussed suggestions for the promotion of the use of milk. One of the most practical suggestions was that advanced by’ Mr Aitken Baker, of Dunedin, who suggested legislation making it compulsory to use full-cream milk for mixing with flour in the proportion of 50 50 to water, so setting up a demand for 1,000,000 gallons of milk, tho equivalent of 15,000 tons of butter. It was believed that millers could be induced to stand an extra ten shillings a ton on flour. This would enable tho extra cost of a fonr-pound loaf to be set at a half-penny, this being fully justified by more) healthy and nutritious bread. Mr Dynes Fulton said that much could be done for the promotion of a greater use of milk in the towns. Another suggestion was the feeding of calves for six weeks on whole milk. There is believed to be a good market for six-weeks-old veal. The popularising of cheese was another proposal, a suggestion being made that the aid of the women’s division of the Farmers' Union and of the Women’s Institute bo invoked. It was decided to seek more information from a correspondent suggesting au eat-more-clieese campaign. Giving to its constitution as an export body, the board is unable to apportion funds for expenditure within the Dominion, but it was hoped that some help could be given to a movement to encourage the consumption of dairy products.
