RESTAURANT PRICES
WILL Be REDUCED

Acting on information furnished by
The Times, Clarence E. Wilson, Dis
trict Food Administrator, after a con-
ference with restaurant owners, has
not only reduced the price Of glass
of milk in local restaurants from ten
TO FIVE cents. but has taken steps
which will result in a general lower
ing of food prices in Washington eat
ing places through the medium Of
special menus. Not only will prices
be lowered, but better food and bet
ter combinations Of food will be OBJ
tainable.
Primarily, the meeting OF Saturday
was called to discuss the milk ana
coffee price question. but Mr.. Wilson
had previously declared that since
such large profits were obviously be-
ing made on the sale of milk, the
price of other foods in Washington
eating places might be lowered and
still leave a fair margin OF pront,
so further action was anticipated.
A dozen owners and managers OF
local lunchrooms, who serve 10000
people daily were present at the food
price reduction" meeting.
Since the practice of charging 10
cents for a cup of coffee has not be-
come widespread in Washington eat
ing places, action on this question
was withheld for the time being. 1t
was understood at the meeting that
. cents would remain generally the
price for a cup of coffee, and that
action by the Food Administrator
might be expected IL the charge went
up to 10 cents a cup in the majority
of the restaurants.

ment praising the value of the device
in improving the local milk supply.
Thirty-seven health officers report that
the device is being made locally for
use by dairymen. Several dairy milk
inspectors stated positively that the
local milk supply has been improved
through the introduction of this de-
vice. During the past season the
sterilizer was demonstrated to more
than 5000 farmers and was made the
subject of campaign in favor of
clean milk utensils that reached thou
sands of dairy farmers. Twenty-six
of the state agricultural colleges Sc
cured devices to demonstrate to their
shOrt-cOurse students. The device is
now being made commercially and can
be purchased complete with oil stove
for $3.50; or the sterilizer portion
alone, which provides apparatus for
sterilizlng pans, pals, separator parts,
small utensils and strainer cloth, can
he purchased for $3.50. Directions for
making the home sterilizer are given

RIGHT PLAN FOR MARKETING
Better Understanding Between Farm
er and Commission Merchant ls
Mutually Beneficial.
gEsTepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)

gEsTspared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Teamwork between the farmer and
his agent, the commission merchant
will clear up many cloud Of misun-
derstanding that frequently results in
needless losses for which the middle
man is held responsible.
While many striking cases have
proven that too often there have been
betrayals of trust on the part Of city
dealers to whom farm products have
been consigned, it is doubtful If 1t
could be demonstrated that all the
shortcomings Of the commission bust
ness as now conducted are the fault
of the merchant. Marketing farm
products through the commission house
is partnership affair, and no partner
ship can be complete success unless
each partner does his best and is
willing to make it possible for the
other to work to best advantage.
Zoo often the commission man Is
used as a last resort and products I'M
desirable on the home market, either
because Of their low grade or because
of weak market, are dumped on the
city market.
For those who contemplate the use
of commission men as marketing
agents the following suggestions are
offered:
1. Know your agent. Select one
who has a reputation backed by expe-
wience, an advantageous location and
competent help. A personal visit will
help the farmer In deciding these
points.
2. Know your market From your
carefully selected agent learn the
needs of the market, most desirable va
rieties to raise, proper containers in
which to pack and ship, style of pack
most desired, the use of labels or
brands, proper amounts and time Of
shipment, and local preferences.
8. Make regular shipments. Keep
your city agent regularly supplied
with what his trade will take, thereby
helping him to stabilize the business
in which you are both concerned.
4. Keep each other informed. Sue
.cessful shippers make frequent use of
the telegraph or long-distance tele-
phone to keep agents posted as to
changes in shipments. The agent
should also keep the shipper informed
as to any changes in requirements of
the market.
8. Avoid frequent changes in
agents. While it may be wise under
certain conditions to check one agent
by the sales of another, the most sue
ecessful consigner is the one who Sc
Gects an agent with great care and
then sticks to him, cooperating in
every possible way and carefully scru.
tinizing all settlements. The honest
agent is glad to do his part in such
teamwork and welcomes the most ex.
acting examination of his methods.

DAIRY
"STARTERS" TO RIPEN CREAM
dertaken Unless Butter Is Made
on Commercial Scale.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In creameries it is customary to con-
troll to some extent the ripening of
cream by means of Starters" which
are pure cultures of lactic-acid-produc-
ing bacteria grown in pasteurized
milk. The making of starters is tech
nical work that should not be under
taken unless butter is made on COM
mercial scale. If the milk and cream
are produced under proper conditions,
there is no need for using starters. If
handled under those conditions and
protected from contamination, cream
will develop the desired flavor when
allowed to ripen or sour naturally at
the proper temperatures.
When butter is made on CONNER
cial scale, it may be advisable to con-
troll the ripening and thus make
product that is more uniform from
week to week.
Commercial cultures for starter max
ing may be obtained from culture man.
ufacturers and from dairy supply
houses. Directions for using accom-
pany each package and should be fol-
lowed carefully.
A natural or homemade starter may
be made as follows:
1. Clean thoroughly and boil for five
minutes three pint fruit jars and tops.
After boiling keep the Jars covered to
prevent the entrance of bacteria.
2. Take pint sample of milk
freshly drawn from each of three cows,
place in the Jars, cover, cool to rs de-
grees Fahrenheit, and keep at that
temperature until curdling occurs.
3. Curdling, or coagulation, should
take place in about "a hours. An ideal
curd should be firm, smooth, marble
like, free from holes or gas bubbles,
and should show little or no separa-
ton Of the whey. 1t should have a
clean, sharp, sour or acid flavor.
4. Select the sample that most close.
ly meets those conditions and propa-
gate it, discarding the others. The
selected sample is propagated as fol-
lows:
(a) Clean thoroughly and boil for
five minutes a quart jar, the top, and
a teaspoon.
(b) Fill the jar with freshly drawn
milk, cover loosely, heat slowly to boil
Ing and pasteurize by boiling gently
for 80 minutes.
(c) Cool the milk to IS degrees Fab
renheit and add a teaspoonful of cur
died milk described in section 3 and
set away to curdle at that tempera-
ture.
(d) Propagate the starter from day
to day In the same manner described
in a, b and C. The starter de-
scribed in Is the one to use for
ripening the cream, and should be add
ed in such quantities as to be one
tenth to one-fifth of the cream to be
Churned.
