FIGHTING FOR PURE MILK.
(By M. M. (Wrick, M. D., Salta
tion Expert.) ?
So many dramatic disclosures
have been made i a regard to the re
lation between dirty milk and the
exceeslve death rate among infants
that farmers are beglning to realize
as never before, the necessity of co
operation with the municipal author
ltlee in their light tor pure milk.
MUk is certainly the most impor
tant article of food In the human
dietary, and K it also the most oon
lajDlnable. It is, therefore, up to
the farmer to se? that the milk from
hit dairy geta to city bablee in as
reasonable & state of .gasoline*? as
possible. Kot that (fate Is an ex
clusively baby proMem, for all sorts
of diseases areanffled through milk
Tuberculosis.*^*an example of this
class, and a number of epidemics of
dtptherla and scarlet fever have
been traced to the milk supply, but
when -we pause to conisider that one^
i fifth of all the babies born in the
I United "states die In their infancy
i frottN preventable diseases, and that
| sixty per oent aT theae are due to
gastro-lnteetin^/ dteeasee, due to
j improper feeding or Impure milk,
we naturally begin to look into the
cause.
I realise, of course, that not every
farmer can have his milking done
fctlentiflca.lly. but it is po4?lble for
him to produce safo milk for his
own use and that of the public by I
very simple and inexpensive means
He may not have an elaborate
dairy ^outfit, but his cattle can be
kept dean Vnd in perfect health
with tKe Sssi&tauce of a veterinary.
It will >oe to bis financial interest
1u thpMong run. Tar paper, white
st and home-made cement will
insure a sanitary stable at small
coat.
Then, there should be a covered
milking patt In place of the old
fashioned wide-mouthed pall. Thta
will keep nine-tenths of the dirt out
during milking time. AU milk uten
ells may be kept clean by the use of
a brush and a solution of soda fol
lowed by a final rinsing In scalding
water. If Ice la not possible for one
farmer, Is it not feasible for several
farmers to combine their Interest,
and secure a supply of Ice at some
central place at a reasonable oost.
I hope the reader? of Uit* paper
are not superior germs. If you
are, send for some of the govern
ment literature on the subject of
the ears of milk. A request to the
Bureau of Agriculture will bring a
number ef bulletins to your doer,
much to your enlightenment.

After careful consideration by the
Board of Director* of the Tebacco
Association of Che United State?, It
wu determined to leave the follow
ing statement regarding the afrtoa
tlon of bright tobacco, with reapect
4o the planting for 1916.
Land suitable for the production
of bright tobacco In Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina is auf
flclent, if used, to make enough to
bacco in one year for the demand?
for ten yaara.
Twenty-fl?*e year? ago the tobacco
produced hrEaatefto North Carolina
and South Carolina waa a very small j
amount indeed. In 1914 these two
sections produced over 150,000.000
pounds, againet about 140,000.000
pound? produced In the Old Belt aeo
t ion of Virginia and North Carolina,,
urhowlng moat distinctly how this
new territory haa Increased. *
Tobacco and cotton are the money
crOpa of this part of the country.
The Old Belt section is not adapted
tc cotton and, therefore, it appears
that the cotton section has made the
Increase In tbo production of bright
tobacco that must produce serious
consequences If continued.
Eastern North Carolina and South
Carolina produced In?
1910?76.00c.000 p v,
1911?49.000,000 pou." .
1912?92.000.000 pounds.
1913?118.000.000 pounds. O*
1914?150,000.000 pounds.
?and over. I*
Old Belt Virginia and NUrtf-Oiro
Una produced in?
1910?100,000.000 pounds.
1911?148.000.000 pounds.
1912?148,000.000 pounds.
1918?200,000.000 pounds.
1-914?156.000.000 pounds.
It Is fought that lesM than 250,
000.000 pounds la annually used,
and for the two y?ars over 800.000,
000 pouixls have been produced, and
100,000,000 pound? more than Is
used.
The following will show how this
over-production has reduced prictts.

In 1913 averaged $13.77
In 1914 averaged 9.68

In 1913 averaged 18.56
