Notwithstanding the fact that the milk problem is constantly growing
more acute in many parts of the United States, no book has thus far
appeared treating, in a brief space, its main aspects and stressing the
practical and economic as well as the sanitary factors involved. The
present volume is designed to fill this obvious need by providing a
convenient survey of a perplexing subject--not merely for health
officials and milk inspectors, but also for dairy-men and city milk
dealers, agricultural authorities, legislators charged with the framing
of milk laws, inquiring consumers and members of organizations engaged
in efforts to secure better milk supplies, physicians, and all others
who are interested in the understanding and solution of the milk
problem. The entire work is essentially practical and valuable as a
constant reference.

The Marketing of Farm Products
BY L. D. H. WELD
_$1.60_
This book aims to set forth the fundamental principles of market
distribution as applied to the marketing of agricultural products. It
begins by pointing out the place that marketing occupies in the general
field of economics, and by applying accepted economic principles to the
marketing process. It then explains the general organization and methods
of marketing, beginning with marketing at country points, and passes on
to a description of the methods and functions of the various classes of
wholesale dealers. After describing the factors affecting the cost of
marketing, illustrated by data concerning the marketing of certain
specific products, a number of special problems are treated, such as
price quotations, future trading, inspection and grading, public
markets, coöperative marketing, etc.
