Ice Cream Short Course
World Wide In Appeal
A world-wide reputation
for short course training in
ice cream manufacturing is
claimed by, the T>airy Science
Department' at The Pennsyl
vania State .University. Dur
ing a recent course for Ice
Cream plant personnel, train
ees came from Venezuela,
Colombia, ,Mexico, Sweden,
Holland, and Canada, in ad
dition to seven states.
Penn State has probably
trained as many short course
students in ice cream mak
ing as all other agricultural
fcolleges combined. That’s the
belief of Philip G. Keeney, in
charge of the two short cour
ses for plant - personnel and
makers of soft ice cream.
Agricultural short course
director Frel C. Snyder
hopes there is some connec
tion between Penn State’s
reputation for training and
the growth of the ice cream
manufacturing in the State.
Pennsylvania leads all states
in the amount of ice cream

produced—about 80 million
gallons a year. Of this total,
about 6 per cent is soft ice
cream.
“One of our objectives is
to instill within each student
an understanding of the im
portance of sanitary handling
of milk and milk products. - ’
Dr. Snyder points out.
Following World War 11,
the soft ice cream business
grew rapidly. Many people
started out with no prior ex
perience in proper handling
and care of perishable foods.
Equipment was not always
designed for proper cleaning
and sanitizing
So the soft ice cream short
course was urgently needed.
Started only three years ago,
it has now trained 55 men
from seven states. Students
study the composition and
problems of frozen desserts,
the ingredients to use, the
mixing process, type of
equipment to select, and fla
voring and freezing of soft
frozen desserts. Sanitation

TEST SOIL FOR POTATOES
A complete soil test is es

to potatoes, reminds Elmer
Pifer, Penn State extension
agronomist Intended use of
the crop also is a guide to
choice of fertilizer and the
amounts to be applied to get
satisfactory yields and the
quality desired.
