which is always its hard to think of dairy products not being in plen tiful supply how would you explain that to the family they are because a lot of people see to it that you have air you need that in cludes canadas 200000 milk and cream producers the firms which process and merchandise dairy pro ducts and the canadian dairy commission there are two main parts to the dairy industry one is bottled milk and cream the umemouse and emttunwtst exhibits at saturdays achievement day for seven north helton homemakert clubs were explained bv thelma kirkwood left and doris black mrs sandra schneller commented on the afternoon program greetings from the helton district womens institutes were brought by past pres ident mrs j mcenery staff pholo other is manufactured dairy products butter cheese evaporated milk powdered milk ice cream and many others part of the job of the dairy commission is to help assure that dairy farmers whose milk and cream goes into manufactured prod ucts get an income which permits them to serve con sumers with a steady reli able supply how do we do it first we support the mar ket prices of dairy products thats a protection for the producer and the consumer it gives the producer a steady income from his milk and cream which he needs like everybody else and it assures the consum er of steady prices for dairy products market prices though arent enough to give pro ducers the income they need to stay in business and without federal help supplies would drop and prices would increase so we supplement their market income by helpout payments not hand outs but only for the amount of milk and cream for the pro ducts which theyrnarket needs we dont encourage the production of costly surpluses our aim is a stable profit able dairy industry and a continuing supply of high quality dairy products on the canadian market so by all means go on taking dairy products for granted you can afford to because we dont canadian dairy commission ottawa hon j j greene
