SALAD ARTISTRY FOR "JUNE IS DAIRY
MONTH"
Painting a food picture, by way of imaginative food arrange-
ments, is an interesting part of meal preparation and service for
creative homemakers. Summertime salad artistry lends itself par-
ticularly well to this skill, because riotous colors, crinoline -crisp
textures. and a happy mixture of gonventional and abstract shapes
allow us plenty of freedom for expression.
With June Dairy Month in mind, kitchen -artists in the Dairy
Foods Service Bureau have been devising new palette techniques,
resulting in this new salad "objet d'art'; Cottage Cheese Banana
Splits. The dairy food they feature is cottage cheese . . a na-
tural for summer salads. Harmonizing with.scoops of this dairy
food, you'll find crisp lettuce, bananas of course, a garnish of ,mint
leaf and walnuts, and a lovely Sundae Salad Dressing made from
your favorite fresh fruit. Mmmmm!
COTTAGE CHEESE BANANA SPLITS
(Makgs 6 Servings)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts; 2 cups cottage cheese; 1.i teaspoon
' ,.salt; 1f2 cup strawberries or raspberries; 3 bananas, sliced length-
-wise; lettuce leaves; mint leaves (optional).
Set aside about 3 tablespoons walnuts for garnish. Combine
cottage cheese, salt, berries and remaining walnuts thoroughly.
Chill. To serve arrange lettuce on 6 salad plates. Place one half
banana on each salad plate. Put one large or two small scoops cot-
tage cheese mixture on top of banana half. Top with Sundae Salad
Dressing, garnish with walnuts and mint leaves.
Sundae Salad Dressing: 1 cup chilled fresh fruit (strawber-
tries, raspberries or other small fruit); sugar; 1/z cup mayonnaise.
Crush fruit lightly and sweeten to taste. If fresh fruit is -not
available, use drained fruit cocktail and omit sugar. Toss fruit with
mayonnaise lightly.
• June is dairy month ... a time
when the cows which have been
stall fed for many months return
to grazing on the lush new green
grass. And, as if to express their
gratitude for emancipation, they
produce more milk in the month
of June than at any other time
during the year.
(vanada's milk supply comes
from the nearly 400,000 Canadian
farms on which dairy cattle are
kept. These range from small
farms on which perhaps only two
or three cows are .found, to spe-
cialyzed dairy farms with herds
running as high as 200 animals.
The trend is towards larger
herds, although there are many
small operators who produce milk
of excellent quality and do so at
high efficiency. Many things enter
into the efficiency picture of a
dairy farm. Theexcellence of the
animals is of prime importance as
are the feeding practices employ-
ed. Like any other business the
managerial qualities of the Farmer
can dictate the success of the op-
eration.
One of the ironies of dairy farm-
ing is that the efficiency of the
farmer is causing him difficulties.
He has been steadily increasing the
productivity of his farm on a 'per
cow, per acre and per man'
Modern equipment, better breed -
and feeding practices. better fer-
tilization and cultivation methods;
all of these have enabled the dairy
producer to produce more. The
cow population of Canada has re-
mained nearly constant over the
past 10 years, but in- that time the
volume of milk produced has in-
creased by some three billion
pounds.
This efficiency has been noted,
too, in the processing of dairy
foods where fewer employees,
working a shorter work week, pro-
cess this greater volume of milk
and create a bigger range of dairy
products than ever before, in the
process.
While the dairy industry as
continually fewer people directly
employed, it still creates employ-
ment for a very large percentage
of the population. The farmer's'
trend toward greater mechaniza-
tion creates employment for work-
ers in the steel industry and farm
implement industries. The farm-
er's broader, more urbanized way
of life makes him an excellent cus-
tomer for the most modern con
sumer goods. He is a better cus-
tomer for automotive equipment
than most Canadians. He now buys
processed foods in much the same
fashion as the city dweller and in
so doing creates employment for
workers in the food business.
He and others whose livelihood
comes directly from dairying cre-
ate markets for products in stag-
gering proportions. The gross na-
tional product of the dairy .indus-
try and its by-products (much of
our beef and most of our veal
comes from dairy herds) is esti-
mated at about two billion dollars,
annually. And while all Canadians
realize their dependency on milk
and products made from milk as
a source of nourishment, many are
unaware of the vital role that this
industry plays in our economy.
CEREALS TREAT WITH DAIRY FOODS
June is the time to start mak-
ing use of crisp ready -to -eat cer-
eals and all our marvellous dairy
foods. Together they can make a
meal. Try some of these sugges-
tions:
Serve crunchy sweetened or sug-
ar coated cereals for nibbling ,with
tall, cold glasses of milk.

HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS
When you are using a rotary
beater for mixing, it is often noisy.
Set the dish on a damp dishcloth,
This keeps the bowl from slipping
and also cuts down on the clatter.

Mont
A dairy operator, located in a
medium'sized town once paid off
his farmer patrons in silver dol-
lars. In very few days almost ev-
ery wage earner in the community
had handled some of these as a
result of normal commerce. It
was an eye-opener to the towns--
people
owns-people to see how closely their
fortunes were linked with tie far-
mer. And so it is in most Cana-
dians towns, many of which were
founded as a centre to serve the
farm population and which. in
turn, became the markets for the
farmers' produce.
So, during June is Dairy Month
it is wise for thelfarmer, and his
city cousin to consider that they,
rise and fall on the same tides;
that their fortunes are interdepen-
dent; that the prosperity of one
depends upon the prosperity of
the other.
From a nutritional standpoint
June is a good time -for all Cana-
dian consumers to consider their
good fortune in having readily
available an abundant supply of
dairy foods second to none in the
world. During the war we knew
of a 'milk for Britain" fund. We
now hear of milk programs being
operated in underprivileged coun-
tries by welfare agencies of Unit-
ed Nations and other organizations.
It is unlikely that in Canada we
will experience a shortage of these
finest of foods. The. Canadian dairy
industry has geared its methods to
the times and will make certain
that Canadians have during June
and every other month the best
dairy foods that can be produced.

SUGGEST HINTS FOR BUTTER USE
Baking Potafoes?
Before baking potatoes, be sure
to butter the skins. They'll come
out of the oven with a delicious
shiny glaze, be much easier to op-
en on the dinner plate.

•
Special Touch For Cream Soups
Let a small piece of butter melt
in a golden circle on each serving
of soup as you're ready to serve
it. Perfect on hot cream of mush-
room, tomato, potato, corn or
shrimp soup.
* * *
Rice Won't Boil Over
When cooking rice drop a small
piece of butter into the saucepan
and you'll find it keeps the water
from boiling over the sides. If,
after cooking, the rice is to be
served as a vegetable, fork it
through melted butter and the
grains will stay separate, the flavor
be much improved.

Golden Pie Crust
If you want your top pie crust
'to be extra appetizing, extra short,
just roll out your top crust and
spread it with soft butter. Place
it buttered side down on your pie
.then bake.

FARm TIIAT Giw
IkoM SEN To SEA
In 1617, on Champlain's small ship, there came from Paris a man
destined to found Canada's greatest industry. He was
Louis Hebert, an apothecaty who was at heart a farmer.
In spite of opposition from the French Settlement Company who
saw New France only as a source of fur and fish, he cleared ten
acres of land on the heights above Quebec. Here on Canada's
first farm, Louis Hebert bred cattle and raised grain,.
beans and pumpkins. -
From this humble beginninggrew an industry that now
stretches fromseato sea. Wherever farms were settled across
this vast country, dairy cattle continued to be important.
Pioneers were aware of the value of milk, butter and cheese
in their diet. Today, with our greater understanding of
nutrition, we know that dairy foods are unexcelled as
sources of complete protein, vitamins and minerals.
Calcium, riboflavin, vitamin. A, fat, sugars and
energy -giving calories are supplied flavourfully and
at low cost: From Louis Hebert's brave
start, 466,000 dairy farmers today
produce food essential for our well-being.
