Des Moines, Sept. THE state food
department expects TO extend its milk
cities in the state. During the COMING
fall its inspectors will conduce cam
paigns in Marshalltown, Oltumwa,
Cedar Rapids Fort Dodge Mason City
eral months the department has gone
into the following cities and made
thorough Investigations into the con-
dition of the milk supply: Dubuque,
Muscatine Burlington, keokuh, Des
Moines and Council Bluffs.
1--WE have found conditions in all Of
these cities much improved to what
they were few years ago said DR..
o. P. Thompson, Of the state depart
1uent, who has had charge of the work.
"Adulteration of milk seems 10 have
ceased practically altogether. A few
years ago it was the common practice
to use preservatives in milk. That
has been stopped. Most of the milk
tests out we'll and is free from i'm
purities. If we find evidences of any
irregularities OF any sort in the con-
duct of dairy or if the milk is not Up
10 standard our plan is TO visit the
dairyman quietly ard look into the
source of the ,rouble and help him
correct It, if possible. Where men
make a business of dairying we find
them almost always anxious not TO
only comply with the law but also TO
: improve their milk. Sometimes we
find nlaI with whom dairying is
side issue who quits the business
rather than comply with the law"
The state officials have been as
sisted in their milk cleanup campaign
by government experts. When they go
nto town they take samples of the
milk being sold by the various con-
Germs and II is thoroughly tested A
complete record is kept of just what
each dairy's product shows The
work is being done more thoroughly
than ever before.
The state department is also inter
ested in increasing the consumption of
milk in Iowa and enlarging the dairy
business In this state. The enormous
amount Of condensed milk being i'm
ported from the old country in spite Of
war conditions is surprise to the
state officials. A great deal Of con-
densed milk is being sent to this coun-
try from Autwer Germany.
