often called nature’s most
nearly perfect food, but im
proper handling can

The state departments of
Education and Agriculture

educational campaign urg
ing schools and the public to
observe several basic rules
when handling milk and milk
products.
In cooperation with the
Pennsylvania Dairymen’s
Association and the

Inc , the two state agencies

throughout the Com
monwealth with pressure

cool One degree in
temperature affects its
keeping quality For best
protection milk should be
stored at 32-40 degrees

covered. Even milk in
cardboard containers will

stamped on cartons and
