Arrivals of hay during the last six days have
amounted to $3.50 tons. Last week we received
$500 tons. 1t therefore readily be seen that
shipments have fallen off very sharply. This Is
easily accounted for in the fact that the fields
are practically cleaned of hay and that what
comes IN from must be taken fron
under cover. There is considerable hay along

FUNDS SUBSCRIBED FOR
PURE MILK CAMPAIGN
Money Will Be Devoted TO EN-
pioyment of Inspector
of Diaries

An important step was taken last
week in the campaign for pure milk
that Is now being waged in this city.
when several hundred circulars setting
forth the purposes and needs OF the
improved milk association were dis
tributed by that organization These
were sent to various boards. clubs and
physicians. calling their attention to
the dangers of the present method OF
milk supply and asking their financial
aid for the proposed Improvement. The
board of health, to which appeal
was first made. was unable to meet
the necessary expense and the aSSOcia-
tfon hopes that it will be able to pay
through other means for the proper
inspection and certidcation of milk
and go on with the work. The first
need Is felt to be a graduate inspector
and chemist, who will visit In turn
each OF the dairies that supplies the
city with milk and will report to the
state dairy bureau, the milk improve
ment association and the boards OF
health of the county in which the dairy
Is situated This plan has been strong
ly fndorsed by the merchants associa-
tion and the California club. Contri-
buttons toward the fund may be senLa
either to Mrs. Henry Payot, 95S Ellis
street. or to the Office OF the San Fran
cisco Call
Those who have already contributed
for this cause are
