PURE MILK FOR
CITY Of CHICAGO
STRENUOUS CRUSADE
is BEARING FRUIT
Everyone of Nine Thousand Milk Pro-
ducers in Illinois and Indiana VIII
be Compelled TO Submit Their
Herds to the Tuberculin Test
State VIII Have Supervision.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-As a result of the
pure milk crusade inaugurated in this
city, plans to form an organization of
the 5000 milk producers and dairy
men of Illinois, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin who ship milk to the Chicago
market, with the purpose of asking
the legislatures of Illinois and Indi-
ana for statutes requiring the appli-
cation of the tuberculin test to all
milch cows, We're formulated at a
meeting of dairymen and farmers
held in the Sherman house today.
1t was the consensus of opinion
that state inspection of milch cows
by the tuberculin test and the refusal
of the state authorities to allow the
sale of milk from infected cattle
would do more toward securing pure
milk for Chicago than local ordin-
ances or a less sweeping system of in
spection.
The program which has been out
lined tentatively at the convention is
to ask the Illinois legislature to pass
a law compelling all cattle to be sub
jected to the tuberculin test at the
expense of the state and to prohibit
the importation of cattle into the
state which cannot present a certifi-
cate of good health signed by five
stock inspectors from the state from
which they have been shipped.
As result of the enforcement of
the new pure milk ordinance in Chi
,ago, applications to have cows test
I'd flooded the health office, and it is |
expected that within a short time the |
system of inspection will have been !
10 far completed as to assure the !
purity of the entire supply. Butter
md cheese dealers have been given
wo months in which to dispose of
present stock before complying with
he law.
