Excerpt from Milk-Quality Improvement Program for 4-H Dairy Clubs Milk and its products are inseparably linked to the welfare of the Nation and to the normal growth and development of the people. Scientific studies have shown that the food people eat, especially during the periods of rapid growth in early childhood, has a lasting effect on the stature of the entire race. Nutrition specialists state that a normal growing child to be properly nourished should consume approximately a quart of milk daily during the years of rapid growth, and that an adult should consume at least a pint of milk daily, or the equivalent in butter, cheese, and ice cream. Improving the quality of the milk supply, therefore, not only improves the financial condition of milk producers but also contributes to the health of the p'eople.
