SUGGESTS CITIES
HANDLE MILK
Foss Calls Legislatures Atten.
ton to New York Distribution.
POINTS PRESENT DANGERS
In Message Encourages Massachv
setts Farmers-Says Appropriation
Should ae Made to Help
Oairymen.

Boston.-Gov. Foss has dipped into
the milk situation by sending to the
Legislature message calling atten.
ton TO the New York plan" OF muni.
cipal milk distribution depots. He
expresses limited approval of propos-
ais for municipal distribution of ar.
ucles or necessity, but says, in re-
gard To the milk distribution, that
he believes the state may safely pro-
ceed along the lines adopted in New
York.
In his message he points out the
need of encouraging the Massachu.
setts farmer, as well as To provide
pure milk for the consumer In the
poorer districts. AS means OF en-
couraeing Massachusetts dairymen.
he recommends that liberal appro-
priation be made to the state board
OF agriculture for distribution among
practical dairy farmers as prizes for
superior product, and the spreading
OF information leading to more econ
omical production and handling Of
milk and milk products.
Speaking of the need OF encourage
ment OF dairying. he says:
Here is obviously condition
which calls for immediate legislative
attention. because the abandonment
OF dairy operations In this common
wealth renders the public dependent
upon milk imported into the state
from a considerable distance and
from sources of supply which are
beyond any effective and continued
control by Massachusetts authorities.
"An adequate supply Of pure, fresh
milk is one of the prime requisites
OF a community, and any policy under
which this supply must be taken
from other states and from Canada.
as at present, reveals menace to
the public health.
"A further handicap under which
the dairy business is now conducted
I'm Massachusetts is the policy or
the contractor, who mixes the milk
from Massachusetts dairies with milk
received from outside the state. Tho
contractor IL therefore In position
TO demand from the Massachusetts
farmer a supply OF the highest grade.
but the public does not beneht by
this, for the reason that the contrac-
tor mixes this milk with inferior sup
plies which he imports from New
York, Canada and other shipping
points. At the same time the Mas
sachusetts farmer IL compelled to ac-
cept a low price for his milk under
the continued apprehension that TX
he does not accept these prices he
will lose his trade altogether, mas
much as the contractor IL now free
20 seek his supply Wherever he
pleases, provided he maintains an
average quality which Will suit tho
legal requirements Of the common
wealth.
Until these conditions are changed
little can be expected In the way or
health by increasing the severity OK
the regulations under which the Mas
sachusetts farmer now operates, az
the tendency OF these added restric-
tIons will be 10 still further diminish
the supply OF Massachusetts milk and
increase the proportion OF our total
supply which Is now drawn from
distant points-the latter milk reach

he was in the pay of the Venetian re-

Fine lines and that aged condition of
