MILK CONTROVERSY ENDS WITH BOT H SIDES SATISFIED
Bacteria Count to Be Gradu- ally Lessened as Months Go By-Pasteurization
 Where Necessary

Dairymen of the Birmingham dis trict distributing milk and milk products in the city of Birmingham will be amenable to the new milk code, which goes into effect Au- gust 25. according to the, ,proclama- ton of pr. N. A. Barretb president of the city commission.
 Distribution of the code, of which 1.oo8 copies have been printed, has been started by the health depart ment. Provisions of the code have been agreed upon by the health de- partment and the Jefferson County Dairymens association.
 PasteurizatiOn
 All milk sold in Birmingham must he pasteurized or must be from tu- berculin tested cows, under the pro- visions of the code. The majority of cows in herds in the Birmingham district have been tested recently and all cows found infected removed from the herds.
 TWO features of the new code form the agencies which paved the way for a milk code and an end of the war between the dairymen and the health department The legal fight lasted for more than fifteen months.
 The first section is the one which refers to dipping or pouring milk from one vessel to another in any of the streets or alleys of Birmingham. According to the terms of the code. the milk must either be drawn with pumps or faucets which have the written approval of the health off cer.
 LesseninE Count
 The second center of controversy now removed from dispute is that pertaining to the bacteria count. Gradual reduction of. the bacterial count is to be allowed under the code. The count drops from 100000 to 20o.- 900 on October 31, 1921. On April 30, 1922 it drops to 100000 per cubic centimeter. On October S1. 1922. it drops to 50.000 which will be the per manent standard thereafter.

IRON MARKET HAS
 TURNED CORNERS
 VIEW OF EXPERTS
Base of S19 Primer Than Any Prior One Since Price De- flation Began-Better
 Week at Steel Mills

Local iron makers seem agreed that pig iron has turned the corner.
 The market is regarded as firmer at $19 than it has been at any base since the price deflation began.
 Small yard stocks and ill-assorted stocks have caused the melter to take more interest in the market. Ten days ago sales of Birmingham iron were made at $18.50, and it is believed that even SIS was done in some instances. Business this week IS uniformly reported on $19 base with all makers declining proffers of less amount.
 One nearby melter wanted several hundred tons of 2.25 to 3.25 silicon. The operator did not have that grade. The melter took it in silicon 1.75 to 2.25.
 Another melter ordered car load or certain analysis of pig iron. He was wired back that the mak CT did not have that analysis The melter telegraphed to ship 1t any how meaning to forward as near ucoi'cu dHdiySlS dS pOSSlDle.
 Some makers have no high grad , Iron at all; some have no low grade iron. Some furnaces have no iron worth mention. The only active mer- chant stacks are the two of the Woodward Iron company. which has no iron on hand.
 Stocks Going Down
 Only one maker has any real stocks of iron on yards. Stocks went down 16.oo0 tons last month and are going down this month. There are 3O,0Oo tons less of merchant iron on yarGs now than three months ago.
 The Journal of Commerce of Mon day says that low priced irons in shc east have about been disposed of and ventures the prediction that 'lt is safe to assume that prices will stiff fen" In fact, Buffalo iron has ad- vanced back to s20 after selling at q low of SIS.
 Marked improvement in pig lron market" is the headline of the Jour nal of Commerce's Monday iron mar ket comment
 Features of the steel production ef the district this week have been these:
 Better In Steel
 Bessemer plate, bar and guide m,il of the Tennessee company on full turn.
 Works of the American Steel and Wire company at Fairfield went on the third consecutive week of five day turn after having operated five days one week and laying. off the next for some time past.
 Corners weymann Steel company s hoop and band mill at Woodlawn operated for the third consecutive week after months of operating one to two weeks and then closing down for two to three weeks.
 Feature of the week in industrial circles, however. appears to be the belief that pig iron has turned the corner and that the price will stiffen in sympathy with growing demand, the small stocks and the poor as- sortmert of stocks.
 None look for boom, but iron ci"- cles express great relief at stoppa se of the downward movement and the stronger tone that they believe mas substantial foundation.
 The Woodward Iron company's re- sumption at a second blast furnace has been followed by ore and coal mine and coke oven activities that have placed more than 500 men 1t work
