THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Thursday, December 9, 19o4 Millions Need More Milk in Daily Diets v Millions of individuals are not using enough milk to supply their daily need for calcium be cause they do not appreciate the value of this nutrient. Kathryn Cooley, extension food and nutrition specialist at the University of Nebraska, rec ommends a quart of milk every day for each child and at least a pint for each adult. Since milk supplies protein, fat, sev eral vitamins and minerals as well as calcium, it is an essen tial food for persons of all ages. Calcium is the nutrient supplied by milk that is least likely to be provided by other foods. About 2 per cent of the average weight of the body is calcium. The greatest portion of this is in the bones and teeth but it also is oresent in all body -fluids and cells. Milk is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system, the muscles and certain enzyme, systems. The specialist tells us that one quart of milk per day furnishes the entire amount of calcium needed by the body daily. In addition it will supply about 87 per cent of the needed riboflav in, 50 par cent of the protein and about 30 per cent of the vitamins A and Bl. Adults are less likely to use the recommended amounts of milk than children. Women use less than men and teen agers. Older women use less than younger women.' Some women do not use enough milk because they con sider it "fattening." No food is fattening until the total calor ies eaten and absorbed exceed the total needs of the body for calories. By using skim milk a person could have all the cal cium and other nutrients of milk (except the fat and vita mins associated with fat) yet have relatively few calories.

It means the dif ference (spread) between the price the farmer receives for his commodities and the price j the consumer pays for the proc ' essed product. i When an economist speaks of spread .between the farmer's share and the consumer's cost, he refers to marketing costs, which covers expenditures for all the processes and services between the harvest and the homemaker's table. Spread is a modern mass-production, mass-distribution term. Grandfather slaughtered his own hog and took his wheat to the grist mill to grind it into flour. He was not concerned with spread, because there was none. Spread increased in im portance as America grew and developed, as the economy of ..the United States shifted from 'an agricultural to an industrial , pattern, with large cities and a ' created need for processing, j packaging, transportation and distribution of food stuff. As cur economy increased in com plexity, so too did the process ing and distribution of food in crease in complexity, with a cor responding expansion in the im portance of spread. This matter of difference be tween the price received by the farmer and the price paid by the consumer involves a highly com plex series of "tinker-to-evers-to-chance" operations which give employment to thousands of city dwellers. The homemaker pays not alone for the cost of the food when she bu3rs it. She pays for the cost of moving the commodity from the farm to the terminal market, from the terminal mar ket to the processor, from the processor " to the wholesaler, from the wholesaler to the re tailer. Those costs include the costs of operating trucks; pay ing railroad transportation where necessary; wages and sal aries for people wrho live by the food distribution industry; rent and depreciation on business structures; taxes to local, state and federal governments. Currently farmers are receiv ing on the average about 45 cents of eaclr food dollar spent by consumers. The spread be tween what the farmer receives and what the consumer pays is then 55 cents. Twenty-seven and one-half cents of the food dollar goes for wages and sal aries in tne tood industry; six and one-half cents for trans oortation; four cents for taxes on the profits of manufacturers 9nd distributors (direct taxes); three cents for profits of manu facturers and distributors; and M cents for all other food dis tribution expenses electricity, telephone, heat, advertising, building upkeep, etc. The four cents of each con sumer dollar credited to taxes Is misleading. The four . cents is for federal income (direct) taxes. Actually, about 20 centos out of the average food dollar can be fairlv considered as go ing to pav taxes (largely indi rect) to local, state and federal governments. Soread is the item in the cost of food the farmer can do noth ing about, even if he is often blamed for it, because it takes place after he has sold to the J initial , buyer. f ' s t all illft Bv HARRY S.

In fact, three recommended varieties, Mo. 0-205, Nemaha and Andrew, exceeded LaSalle in yield tests conducted over a four-year period. LaSalle also had a lower test weight. In 1953 at 16 experiment stations in the north central region, La Salle ranked below 32 other va rieties tested. There were 40 entries in the test. In this test LaSalle yielded 55 5 bushels per acre as compared to 69 bushels for Mo. 0-205 and C8.C bushels for Andrew. Since the Nebraska experi ment station has not recom mended LaSalle oats, this va riety is not eligible for certifica tion in Nebraska. The Army has an authorized ratio of three physicians per 1,000 soldiers.

Quick Action ecessary to Protect Stove Quick action is important when vou spill something on that gleaming white range, says Harriet Brigham, extension housing and equipment specia list at the University of Nebras ka. If you accidentally spill some thing on your range when it is hot, use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe it off. Use a damp cloth if the enamel is cool. This small precaution will protect the finish. .Your range will stay new looking longer if you avoid pul ling pans across the enamel surface and of course, avoid dropping things on it.
