SWEETENED CON
DENSED MILK
Washington, August 9.?Charges
conspiracy ware brought against a
prominent manufacturer of sweeten
ed condensed milk yesterday before
the Senate Sub-Committee of Agri
culture by Alfred R. Urion, attorney
for the Hebe Company, in a Senate
hearing of the Voigt bill now pending.
Added to this was a recommendation
to the committee that these charges
be turned over to the Federal Trade
Commission for further investigation
H and coroboration.
The charges marked a sensational
development in the hearing of the
Voight bill before Senators McKinley,
of Illinois; Ladd, of North Dakota,
and Hendricks, of Wyoming, and re
vealed testimony which alleged that
the condensed mill manufacturer, has
fostered the Voight bill which aims to
prohibit the interstate shipment of
skimmed milk compounds. These, it
was shown, are mixtures of refined
eocoanut or other vegetable fats with
pbre skimmed milk in the ratio that
butter is found in whble milk and are
sold on the market as cooking and
r- baking fluids.
Under cross examination J. Wal
lace Bryan, an attorney representing
the dairy interests who favor the bill,
admitted that he also was represent
ing the condensed milk manufacturer.
In addition a letter was offered to the
Senate Committee written by Walter
Engels, legal representative of the
company, to R- W. Balderson, presi
dent of a milk producers association,
in which he stated that he was for
warding a draft of a bill against skim
med milk compounds for Pennsylvania
"which will do for a starter."
Dr. Joseph Brennenman, head of
the Children's Memorial Hospital of
Chicago, appeared before the com
mittee yesterday and testified that in
Ms opinion sweetened condensed milk
was the most harmful food that could
be fed to an infant "In my opinion,"
he said, "the wide-spread pse of this
food is the moat pernicious thing in
our system of infant feeding and has
done more to injure the health of our
children than any other one thing.
This contains forty-two per cent of
sugar which is far more than should
be given to an infant."
He made this statement in con
nection with testimony supporting the
claims of the opponents of the Voigt
bill that skimmed milk compounds are
wholesome and nutritious articles of
food and that they have distinct place
in the list of available foods.
A host of expert witnesses have
appeared before the Senate Commit
tee voicing vigorous "protest against
U ?: ?
the Voigt bill. Included in this lbt
were Dr. Casmir Funk, the discoverer
of the vitainine theory end the men
who coined the name vitamine; Dr. A.
J. Carbon, professor of physiology at
the University of Chicago; Dr. L. Em-,
mett Holt, author of the well known
book on infant feeding who protested
by affidavit; Dr. E. A. Aggers, pro
fessor of economies at Columbia
University; Dr. William E. Ramsey,
industrial physicbn of Perth Amboy,
N. J. Their expert testimony was en
dorsed by welfare workers and econo
mists including Mrs. Marion H. Beal,
of Chicago; Mrs. Edna Tangard and
Mm. Rose Bough ton, of Perth Amboy,
N. J., Mrs. Grace Vial Gray of Ames,
la.; Dr. Eva H. Wilson of Illinois;
George Grindred, chief chemist of the
Hebe Company, and Dr. 'Phillip M.
Stimson of Cornell University.
If the committee accepts the
recommendations made to it at the
hearing, it may amend the present
Voigt bill to include all products of
milk to which any foreign substance
has been added. This would include
all makes of sweetened, condensed
milk, including Borden's Eagle Brand,
all skimmed milk componda. and a
long list of other cooking fluids not
now included in the wording of the
bill.
Final decision by the committee b
expected this week.

Potato growers tm the northern tac
tion of the country use different
- methods of storing their crops through
the winter. Borne employ the old
method of a straw-lined trench with
a straw coming and earth thrown
over It Others hare built of timber
or concrete underground storage cel
lars. In some sections, notably Maine,
where huge crops of potatoes are
grown, the tuber* are carried through
winter, or until such time as they are
marketed. In warehouses which are
provided with artificial heat In view
of these facta, Investigators for the
United States Department of Agricul
ture say, an Intensive study of the
subject has not been made, and not
much reliable data available.
The reason for this lack of Inten
sive study are given by WUllam Stuart
of the federal department In Farmers'
Bulletin No. 847 on "Potato Storage

tha northern section of the country,
when the principal Irlah potato crops 1
aro grown, there usually must be pro- i
vision for artificial heat, as weU aa

bsliding, with insulated outside walls.
It was with this idea la mind?hold

sired. Also It will be noted from
the cross-section sad detail drawing .
of the exterior wall, and from the
floor plan, that good ventilation has
been provided.
The warehouse shown Is 24 feet
wide and 40 feet long. It Is construct
ed of flrst-clsse lumber, such as may
be aecured at almcet all, lumber yards.
The foundation Is sf concrete, en

It will be noted that the exterior
walls of the building are covered with
drop siding, nailed to the 2x4-lnch
studs. Ship-lap sheathing Is nailed to
the Inside of the studs, providing a
4-lnch air space between the Interior
and exterior walls. This sets as an
Insulation against heat and cold and
also provides means for air circula

the walls of the storage bins, which ;
are of crib siding, permitting a
circulation of air through the walls
of the bins. The floor of tho building

and Storage Warehouses." "When
potatoes are plentiful and relatively
cheap," says the bulletin, "little atten
tion la given to such wastage and loss
as usually occur In storage; In fact, a
considerable loss was considered In
evitable. with high prices and scarc
ity of supply the need of conserv
ing the entire production for seed
and food purposed Is of the utmost Im
portance."
However, It has been demonstrated,
the bulletin continues, that losses In
storage can be largely prevented by
the proper construction and Intelligent
management of storage houses. When
It is considered that potatoes are one
of the moat Important food crops In
the United States, it is sheer economic
waste to fall to provide proper means
of conserving the crop.
The primary object of storage Is to
hold potatoes, which are more or less
perishaMe, la a salable condition
throughout as long a period as may be
economically desirable. The main, or
late crop of potatoes Is Intended for
winter use, and must be stored, the
early or truck crop being disposed of
direct from the field as harvested. The
factors provided by the storage ware
house must be of such a oharacter as
to protect the potatoes from extremes
of heat 'and cold and from the light
Other facts of less Importance per
haps, sre humidity and aeration and
the slse of the pile or bin In which the
potatoes are stored.
Various notions are current regard
ing the best temperature at which to
hold potatoes In storage. The tern
peratorsa which are generally recom
mended are between 82 and 48 de
grees. Fahrenheit the freezing point
of potatoes being between 26 and 28
fisgriss. To hold this temperature la
the ceiling to tfi# attic apace and to
the toot ventilator. With the draft
provided by the air space In the walla
and through the air shafts, a circula
tion of air through the stored pota
toes is assured. The outslfe air vents
In the concrete foundation may be
opened or closed, as the temperature
of the house demands.
For nse In extreme weather, space
at one ride of the building Is provided
for a heating plant, the floor of the
heater room being on a level with the
ground. Flues from the heater are
run to the space under the floor, so
that the warm air may be carried
through the ventilators.
As stated la the beginning, the suc
cess of this building as a storage ware
house for potatoes depends upon good
materials and construction, and. after
the potatoes are stored, upon watch
fulness to maintain an even, low tem
perature.
