HANDLING MILK
 AT THE CAPITAL District Uses 1900 Gallons
 Per Day MUCH IS SHIPPED IN Only About One-Third of Amount Used Is reduced in the Inn sse mediate Vicinity of
 Washington
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October 7.-tSpeeial.) )-The
 District of Columbia consumes about
 76.ooO quarts G9,oo0 gallons) of milk a
 day This is about 04 of a pint per
 capital This milk supply is produced on 1Osl dairy farms. mainly located in Maryland and Virginia The number of
 cows on these dairy farms is 17,6SS
 About one third of this supply is pro-
 duced within wagon haul of Washing
 ton while two thirds is brought into the city by steam and electric railway
 A recent report of the Washington milk
 supply published by the United States
 department of agriculture says that the
 agricultural and other advantages in the immediate vicinity of the city are such
 that the entire supply could easily be
 produced within wagon haul distance. AS
 1t is most of the supply is produced
 within 55 miles of the city.
 The nearby supply of cream is insuf- ficient for the local demand and large quantities are shipped in from Phiadel- phia and New York.
 Recent statistics assert that 25,000 gal Ions of ice cream are consumed in Wash ington every week. Most of this is man ufactured in the city. Regular milk trains are operated on all the railroads steam and electric, that come into the city. The farmers in Mary land and Virginia deliver their cans of
 milk at the milk stations early every
 morning and they are gathered up by the trains and brought into the city for dis tribution to the various milk stations be- fore breakfast.
 cpaoiaI sI6ino nd DlatfOrm is prOVid- ed at the new union station for the ham ding and distribution of the supply. The freight charges for shipment of milk is from ? to cents per gallon, ac- cording to the distance Most of the
 milk is shipped from the 21a zone. The
 freight is paid by tickets attached to
 the can.
 Statistics of the department show that the number of producers is decreasing, while the number of cows to the farm is being increased Of the 109l dairymen 2S0 have less than 10 cows each Only four farmers have more than 100 cows each. The officers of the federal government and the health department of the Dis trict In cooperation have done very much to improve the general condition and quality of the milk supply during the past two years.
 The restrictions thrown around the pro- duction of the milk and its handling are made very eXacting and the laws are be- ing enforced as far as possible Cows and daires are condemned wher- ever conditions are found to warrant such action. Cows are carefully eX- amined and many are condemned and killed when found not in a healthy con- dition. Dairies that are not kept in as perfect sanitary condition as is possible or up to the full requiremet are con- demned and their products are not al- lowed In the city.
 Two organizations control the milk sup ply of the District First is the Milk
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-08

Producers association of Maryland, Vir gnia and the District of Columbia. The other Is the dealers association known as the Dairymen's association of the District of Columbia Maryland and Vir- ginia.
 These associations make prices and con- trol the supply and distribution. Prices are fixed for six months at a time, No- vember 1 and May l. There are summer prices and winter prices. The price just fixed for the coming winter is cents per quart. The dairyman gets from % to 26 cents per gallon delivered in Wash ington.
 Due to the rigid enforcement of the milk regulation laws passed by Congress for the District the rate of infantile mor- tality in Washington. is very low. It is claimed that Washington has the record of the country in this respect,
 The cost of milk inspection in the Dis trct is about $15,0OO per annum A num- Der of experts give most of their entire time to this work.

Contemplated Merger of Steel Companies Renews
 Trade Spirit There

Gadsden October 7.-(Special) )-As re- suit of the announcement that the final arrangement for the consolidation of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company and the Southern Iron and Steel company were being completed, there is a renewal of the spirit of optimism that prevailed in the city at the time large fund was raised here for the purpose of
 bringing the wire and nail mills of the
 latter company to Gadsden two years ago. Many of the enterprises that have
 teen projected during the last few months have been waiting for the con-
 summe tion of the merger before being executed, and the general opinion among
 real estate men and others Is that now
 there will be renewed activity all along the line.

 This is the smallest number of true bills
 found by any jury recently, but is ac-
 counted for by the fact that a large part
 of the time was taken up in investgat- ing the Shentzen murder at Altoona, and for which two men were indicted
