Abstract
This thematic issue is devoted to everything dairy. Milk production articles address how to increase production for the war effort, profitable trade in the city, and record holding milk producing cows. Other milk articles explain the milk sediment test, the production of certified milk, and foods derived from milk. The Albertan dairy industry is also reviewed. An article on cheese production includes a report from the Finch Dairy Station. Articles on butter pertain to the national standards for butter, cream and butter grading. Four Macdonald Institute women contributed articles on dairy nutrition; including the different kinds of milk, sanitation and composition of milk, and an article on soft cheeses. The editorial defends the patriotism of the men who are studying how to increase agricultural production rather than enlisting in the military. Campus news reports on the Second Annual Conference on Rural Life and Work, the debates, and public speaking contests. The Alumni column contains wartime correspondence, a photograph, and alumni updates. The Macdonald Institute column reports on the success of the Red Cross fete in raising funds for the war effort. While the Locals column provides campus humour.
