BRIGHAM PUTS BAN
ON ICE IN MILK CANS
Reports Of Creamery inspectors Show
Some Farmers are Violating
State Law.

Montpelier, July 20 The Vermont
state department OF agriculture is re-
ceiving reports from its creamery in.
spectors that many samples of milk
taken from farmers deliveries at
plants and shipping stations show
evidence of added water when tested
with the lactometer. Investigation
shows that some farmers are putting
chunks Of ice into their milk cans in
order to cool the milk quickly during
this hot weather While the purpose
may be commendable the result is a
clear violation of state laws relating
to the aduteration Of milk.
Commissioner Brigham has notified
the department inspectors to pay
particular attention to the detection
OF added water and several prosecu'
tions are likely to follow nn ess this
practice is stopped. Cans OF milk
should be cooled by setting them In
tanks Of cold spring water or ice wa
ter during this hot weather but never
by putting chunks of ice In the milk.

covered by county sheriff between
Amsterdam and Fonda, The officer,
while patrollng the road at night, at.
tempted to stop car which was
equipped with headlights not listed
as legal in New York state. When
the officer tried to halt the car two
men jumped from the rear seat and
disappeared in the darkness. The
driver. however, "stepped on the gas
and attempted to escape.
But for the fact that the car is
new the thief might have gotten away.
There Is a steep hill on the road be-
tween Fonda and Amsterdam and in
making the ascent the engine de.
voloped too much heat and the ca"
showed disposition to quit. Seeing
that he was not going to be able to
keep a.ead of the pursuing officer,
the driver turned into a driveway

behind a barn, In the darkness 1t
was easy for him to escape.

made record of the number and by
communicating with the O'dsmoblle
company easily located the owner
He then informed Sheriff Gardner of
his find and the sheriff at once placed
