Mr.. Wilson will announce the find
lngs Of the committee within a day or
two. The statement will show:
That in the neighborhood of sixty
persons were examined.
That the evidence secured fails to
substantiate any point of Harms allie
cations.
That the stock yards are in excel
lent condition and that meat which
has been labeled inspected and pass
ed was food fit for human consump-
ton within the meaning of the laws.
Ihat Harms never made any report
about the alleged violations of the
law and the passing Of unfit meat and
Its products, although he had been in
the service eighteen months, until he
published his open" letter, to Secre-
tary Wilson, and that finally this let
ter was prepared in conjunction with
newspaper man.
To Arrest Trade Injury.
The statement that the department
IF agriculture will make is expected to
arrest injury to the foreign meat
trade of the country, which such allie
cations as Harms were calculated to
produce. Accompanying it will be the
! assertion, couched in as strong Ian
guage as 1t is possible to write, that
the inspection service generally is eff
fcient; that 7S0 establishments en-
gagged in interstate commerce, which
are under the jurisdiction of the az
ricultural department, are obeying the
| law, and finally that meat shipped by
such establishments and labeled by
the government Inspectors is fit to
eat. In word, the department will
make a sweeping vindication of it's
meat inspection branch.

HIGHER EDUCATION
FOR THE MILKMAID
Pennsylvania to Spend Ten Thousand Dollars Yearly to
Teach Scientific Milking

Tie pretty little milkmaid of fact
and fiction, of painting and romance,
is going to be made a scientist.
No longer will she be the rural art
less, innocent and naive creature of
early days. The State of Pennsyl-
vania is going to spend $4,000 yearly
to teach her to milk the cows and
make butter on the improved modern
lines.
The purpose of this legislation in.
troduced by Representative E. e.
Jones of Susquehanna is two-fold.
First, it is felt that the quality of
dairy products can be much i'm
proved by an understanding of the
scientific way to do things and the
health of the state safeguarded by the
introduction of new methods of sani
tation. Next, the application of these
methods should also add to the profit
of dairy products, for ignorance now
results in much waste and curtailment
of profits.
