Irish Had "MayfloWer" Adventure

Students of Anglo-American his
tory have just directed attention to
the fact that Ireland also had her
"Maytlower." This was the Eagle
wing, which, no later than 1886, set
sail with a full passenger list Of
FISHERMEN for the American colonies.
There were 40 passengers, among
whom were four ministers. Ill-luck
began at once, for unpnquerable
winds drove the vessel to the Scottish
coast. A leak then held the ship in
the "Kyles of Butte" Starting again,
she achieved mid-Atlantic, but there
a hurricane did such damage and
caused such general Encouragement
that finally the Irish pilgrims made up
their minds that Providence was
frowning on their emigration, and
turned their vessel back to Ireland.

MILK DELIVERED TO CITIES
Figures Announced by Department OF
Agriculture on Total Cost to
Ultimate Consumer.

! prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The total cost Of milk delivered 10
the consumers door in Columbus, o.,
during the first six months of 1920,
ranged from 11.3 cents up to 1873 cents
perEIuart, If the costs Of one company
which does business in certified"
MIX are omitted, according to the fig
urest recently announced by the United
States, Department of Agriculture. The
cost Of the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents to 10 cents
per quart. The total cost Of Op-
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurzmg and bottling of the milk,
ranged from l cent to IA cents per
quart, and the cost of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.6l cents to SO cents per
quart.
The item of administrative expense
varies widely, being as low as two
tenths of cent per quart for one
small company and as high as l cent
perkauart for a large concern.
, Two of the seven companies covered
Swere small concerns which produced
their own milk supply. The cost of
producing the milk for these COM
panies in 1920 was $50 cents per quart
which is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
One Of the items of cost which has
attracted most attention among stu
dents of the milk business is the So
called bottle loss" The depart
ment's study indicates that for the
companies covered in Columbus this
item ranges from one-tenth to two
tenthS of cent per quart.
Great difficulty was experienced in
getting any satisfactory information
concerning the shrinkage which takes
place in the handling and delivery of
milk, but according to the best data
available this item amounts to be-
tween 2.3 per cent and SO per cent of
the total volume of milk.
Columbus is city of 237,031 poAula-
ton, which is reported to consume
about 27,00O,0O0 quarts of milk per an
mum. This milk is supplied by over
1000 producers, from 10 different coun-
ties, and is transported to Columbus

fairly representative of many Middle
Western cities.
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 16,500,000
quarts of milk and cream in 1920, or
approximately 65 per cent of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged in size from a very small one
wagon concern up to the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point of view of the farm
err and the consumer, the important
question is, What does it cost to ham
die the milk from the farm to the
consumer? The cost of raw milk was
between IS per cent and rs per cent
of the total cost of the milk as it
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price of Grade A milk in Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents to
14.5 cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk, which comes from tuberculin-
tested cows, for 10 cents per quart
At the same time the wholesale price
of milk ranged from y cents to 121a
cents.
The average number of customers
per route in 1920 ranged from 1859 to
297, and the number of quarts per
wagon ranged from It's to 1913, the
average being 262. 1t is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
wagonload.

MARRIAGES TOP
DEATHS IN STATE

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 31.-From
the standpoint of vital statistics, the
year 1921 is bound to prove a record
breaker in the history of California,
according to estimates made public
here by l.. E. Ross, statistician of the
State Board of health.
"For California the year will be
noteworthy in a number of respects, y
declared Ross, "but chiefly due to in
creases in the number of births and
marriages and decreases in deaths and
the infant mortality rate"
Ross estimates are based upon rec
ords for the first ten months of tn
present year and the complete records
for 1920.
The number of 1921 marriages, he
estimates, will total 47,500, as com
pared to the total of 46,564 in 1920.
This represents the greatest number of
marriages ever recorded in Califor-
MIA, but slight decrease under last
year in the rate owing to growth IN
population. The estimated rate this
year is 1872 per 1000 population com
year will be 71,500(0mbmshrdluhmh
pared to rate of 1874 in 1920.
Ross estimates the total births this
year will be 1,500, as against 7,19S
in 1920, gain of more than 1000
The birth rate thereby would be in
creased from 1913 to 1919.
In 1920 deaths recorded numbered
47,124 but this year, Ross said, indi-
cations are that they will total only
46,500, a decrease of several hundred
| This would give California a death
rate of Is per 1000 inhabitants, or the
lowest in the history of the state. lr
| 1920 the death rate was 1875.
The number of infant deaths, OF
children under 1 year of age, who
died during the year, is placed by Ross
at 47OO. Last years total was 5O43
This would give the state an infant
mortality rate in 1921 of 65.o pen
1000 births, as compared with IS last
year land the lowest in history.
