ative, the farmer has found that his fluid,
milk could be proccssod into such by-pro- i
ducts as ico-crcom mix, ovoporated milk,
condensed milk, powdered milk, chocso, dtc^

the consumer in various stages of fresh
ness, And the consumer today can be thank-*
fui that the cooperative has relieved him ;
of that type of distribution and markotingl)
