WEIGHING MILK FOR MARKET

COT fAgrtcuitureO
Producers who ship milk to city
distributors have voiced frequent COM
plants because Of the disparity be-
tween their figures. on the quantity of
milk shipped and those of the dealers
on the quantity received. In order to
locate the cause of complaint by study
ing the actual iloss between the coun-
try shipping point and the city plant
the United States Department of
Agriculture made an Investigation on
the Baltimore market Records kept
onimore than 1,1OO cans showed that
the loss between the country station
and the city plant was less than q per
cent. The loss on trains probably due
to spfllinp was only O19 per cent; and
from the city railroad platform to the
plaintiff was O.55 per cent.
However, lit was found that when
the milk was weighed In the city
plant there was a. asshortage of 2.56 per
cent on the amount shipped according
to can measure in the country. OF this
shortage" "G74 per cent was due to ac-
tual losses, While 1.S2 per cent was
the difference between cun measure
and weight. This is easily accounted
for by the ffact that cans become
dented and battered, which decreases
their holding capacity.
In a former Investigation by the
department an even greater discrep-
