I'VE begun our work in advance
of other states and it is prObab bile
that we have gone farther than any
other toward securing for our peo-
pie clean and sanitary food supply.
We have unsolved problems yet be-
fore us. our milk supply is none
too good; our meat supply save for
that protected by federal inspection,
is still uninspected. and in too many
Instances is diseased. Hundreds of
thousands Of wells are furnishing
polluted water and in many instances
are still used as sewers. We are
however, making progress and minor
sewage disposal plans are being in
stalled in all parts of the state"
Barnard. after discussing work of
his laboratories on water supply

ness in the handling OF foods

This lies somewhat sleeping in the
