E. Lackner, Direcâ€" tor of Dairying for Ontario, in his monthly summary of creamery inâ€" structors‘ reports. Production held fairly steadt for the first half of the month, but with warmer weaâ€" ther during the latter part, a deâ€" cline was indicated. Production for the month of June was about 1u{1 to that of June of last year, e rains towards the end of the month had the effect of re?uvennun'eglt tures, and this should aid in reducâ€" ing the seasonal decline in producâ€" packs. s Marked advances have been made in equipment and methods of freezing and in suitable osscka‘res in which to place the product. To retain quality, these packages must be practically moisture proof. Heaâ€" vy waxed cartons, cellophane and certain other materials have proved adequate. It is necessary to keep the product continuopusly frozen at zero or lower. â€" Research has indicated the maxiâ€" mum storage periods for foods in order to retain their best flavor and quality. With few exceptions, the fozen product should be used t.ls in 10 to 12 months and not carri over to another season. _ _ tion. dozen, 45 to 50, large, dozen, 45 to 52, extras, dozen, 5’) to 55; Meats, frozen foods first a;meared on the market. Since then e( have been accepted, not as mere luxuries but as basic foods. This acceptance has been due in part to improved proâ€" duction methods.
