DAIRY CRUSADE Is ON
Campaign Begun AgainstIn-
sanitary Farms.
WILL REGULATE MILK SUPPLY
Many Dealers Charged with Tn
scrupuiOuSIy DOctOring Output
with Deadly Preservatives-LOcnI
Health Department to Cooperate
and Insist Upon High Average.

Edward II. Webster. OF the Diary Di-
vision Of the Department of Agriculture.
has started an active campaign against
the insanitary dairies in Washington. He
Will also investigate the market milk to
obtain uniform system for grading the
forms, cooperating with the local health
department.
The object is TO improve the quality
without increasing the cost Of production.
An official Of the Department of Agri-
culture said yesterday that numerous
complaints had been made by the local
health department of milk dealers who
have unscrupuiOusly doctOred their sup
plies with pgeservatives.
Artificial Means Unnecessary.
Milk and cream produced under sani-
tary conditions and without the use Of
any chemical will last for several weeks
if kept clean and cold" ne said. This
was practically demonstrated at the Ma
tional Dairy Show held IN Chicago in
February
Some samples Of milk produced under
those conditions, and without any artifi-
cIai preScrFative. remained perfectly sweet
after being shipped thousand miles. put
in storage at a temperature Of about 81
degrees F. for two weeks. and then re-
shipped a distance Of more than 500 miles
TO this city, where they We're stored in
an ordinary ice box for several weeks
Some OF the samples were still sweet
after five weeks. 4 part Of a box Of
cream entered IN this exhibition was plac-
ed IN cold storage in Chicago at a tenn
perature OF % degrees F., and remained
sweet and palatable for seven weeks.
Uniformity Sadly Needed.
There is too wide a variation in the
quality Of the milk supplied in this city
These variations occur not only in the
milk supplied by different dealers, but in
that from the same dealer.
Many Of the fatalities among babies
in the large cities are directly due TO the
chemicals in milk. Hundreds die from
starvation every year. because OF the poor
quality of the product"
