MYFCA Supplies Army
With 1200 Quarts of
| Recombined Milk Daily
! On Wednesday of this week the
) Matanuska Valley Farmers Co
operating Association creamery
started delivery of recombined
milk to the sales commissary at
the post. A total of 1200 quarts
daily is now being delivered to
the post with a probable increase
anticipated during the next
months, Clarence Bell, manager
of the creamery said this week.
The recombined products is
now being used at the post in
stead of frozen milk which was
formerly shipped from the states
for the troops. The recombined
milk is considered preferable as
it is said to be more palatable.
In addition, with its use, military
officials point out that consider
able shipping space is conserved
as milk solids amount to only 15
percent of milk which is 85 per
' cent water. The milk solids are
shipped to the creamery here
from the states for the recom
bined product.
“No recombined milk will be
sold to anyone except the Army,”
Co-Op otiicials emphasized here
