Denies Responsibility
The present daily milk consumption
OF the New York district is 1000, 900
quarts. Health Commissioner Cope
land has stated that the normal con-
sumption should be 100000 quarts
daily.
Mr.. Horton declined to make any
statement to newspaper men, but Mr.

Sheffield company had denied RESPONSE
bility for the cut production notice
which is said to have been posted in the
farming districts generally.
HE says that this notice was writ
ten and prepared By one of the younger
directors of the company" Mr.. Swami
declared. "But Mr.. Horton seems to
see no objection to the notice and Mr..
Alger seems to think that it is per-
fectly sound from an economic stand

"To my mind there is no use debat-

Horton offered, however, to bet me any

was correct"
Commenting on the Sheffield reduc-
ton notices, Mr.. Swami announced
that one Of Mr.. Stafford's investigators
looking into the situation at Franklin
vile, N. Y. had been informed that
James Mulholland, tenant of farmer
named Lewis Riggs there, had been
told by the manager Of the Sheffield
dairy that if he (Mulholland) pur-
chased any more cows or increased his
milk production the company would be
obliged to refuse to accept any of his
