ENGLAND PATTERNS u. S.
PURE MILK METHODS
Inspection and Licensing Interest
Farmers Union After Report
of Investigator.
By the associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 23.-England is
about to benefit from what has been
done in the United States in the field
Of producing and distributing pure
milk. Ready to learn from the eX-
perience of others, the milk committee
of the National Farmers Union sent
its chairman, E. w. Langford. to
America to investigate. He found out
a lot.
what chiefly impressed him was the
tremendous extent to which. the pub
lie generally was interested in the
subject of pure milk. 1t was regarded
as a national question. Child-wel-
fare organizations. public health and
educational authorities made it their
business to see that everything pos
sible was done to insure an abundant
supply No influence comparable with
it was exercised in England:
in America" Mr.. Langford has
said. there is much more inspection
of farms than here; producers have to
be licensed. and the licenses can be
revoked if the. .regula ations are not
complied with. Altogether, milk pro-
duction and distribution are on a
higher plane than in this country.
The question of clean, pure milk is
treated by all concerned as cne of
vital Importance.
"One of the chief difficulties in the
way of securing better milk in this
country is, in my opinion. the indif-
ference of the public" says Mr.. Lang
ford. British people do not take a
serious view of the milk they buy.
MIX is milk sums up their attitude,
and they do not seem to care how or
where it is produced Very often, in
deed, those who are interested in
buying milk here for public institu-
tions, such as hospitals, buy on con-
tract in the very cheapest market,
irrespective of quality or cleanliness.
1t is all a question of education. If
the people here see the necessity of
having clean milk in bottles and are
prepared to> pay the small increase in
price, they can have it."
