MIX Standard Is Low.

THE milk standard IN Michigan is
too low" declared Dr. ID. Murray
Cowie, OF the University OF Michigan.
I'm an address on THE clean milk prob
lem" before the Wayne County Medi-
cal society, Monday evening. Three
per cent lat should not be accepted as
the standard. he continued. IL Is
easy 10 produce four per cent milk
and ) per cent Is not uncommon.
There is no bacterial standard in
Michigan. and no standard for CERT
fed milk | am informed that in De-
troit and other Michigan cities. any
one would be allowed to say he was
producing certified milk, regardless Of
inspection Dairymen work under a
mistaken idea that the production or
certified milk means an enormous ex-
pense. On the contrary, il can be
produced without expensive equip
ment." The speaker expressed the
belief that the time is now ripe for a
statewide campaign for clean milk.
The society elected officers for the
ensuing year as follows: President.
Dr.. Arthur ID. Holmes: vice president.
DIR. Preston NJ. Hickey: secretary
treasurer. DR.. Guy II. McFall.
