MAKE BETTER SWISS CHEESE
Method Developed by Department Of
Agriculture Has Passed Into
Commercial Stage.

The method of making Swiss cheese
cultures, developed by the dairy d.
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has now passed
definitely into the commercial stage.
This new process was worked out In
the dairy laboratories, given thorough
trials in the experimental cheese fac
tory operated by the dairy division at
Grove City, Pa. and is now being used
by q number of commercial factories
In various parts of the country.
The results obtained by two Ohio
factories indicate that Il will he
worth while for those interested In
the manufacture of Swiss cheese to
adopt the method and give 1t a fair
trial. For the cheese made In June
Of this year one Of these factories
received a straight price of 34M
cents a pound; the other factory. 80
tories In this area received from 20
to % cents. Only one Of them sue
ceeded In selling for as high as Is
cents. For the July product one Of
the factories received So cents for
fancies and No. / and II cents for Nc.
2. The old-system factories received
the same price as for June cheese.
The principal reason the buyers
were willing to pay this margin over
the general run OF cheese made In
the locality WIS that the percentage
OF high-grade cheese had been greatly
Increased.

All of these figures were contained
in one report submitted by the nc
countants. They formed the basis
for congressional action between that
looked toward a readjustment in the
District fiscal relations with the
United States government.
Two other reports were completed
and submitted to the subcommittee
by the same accountants. One dealt
with the accounts of the District for
the support of INDECENT patients in
the Government Hospital for the In
sane and the other took into con-
sideration the indebtedness of the
District to the United States govern
ment for the payment of interest out
of federal moneys on the 3.65 bonds
of the District between August l.
1876, and January "a, 1878.
J. r. Mayes worked exclusively on
the Government Hospital for the In
sane case. He reported on February
26, 1915, that from thorough exami-
nation of accounts the District was in
debted to the United States in 1911
on account of support OF the INDECENT
insane from the District in the amount
of s282,754.26, and the further amount
of S203.7 .770.01. The second amount was
for interest on the deficit due from the
District of Columbia.
From the fiscal year 1879 to the f1s-
cal year. 1912, appropriations for the
care of District patients in st. Eliza
betb's Hospital totaled S4,693. $685.
UneXpended balances amounted to S24,-
452.13, leaving net payments from ap-
propriations amounting to 1863, ,213.43
To miscellaneous credits were charged
the sum of $19,142.93. This made the
net payments from appropriations, in
addition to miscellaneous credits, S4,-
6Ss,35636.
The report showed that the daily
average of patients chargeab1e to
the District during this period, ran
from ia, in 1879, to $50 in 1900 and
amounted to 1,427 in 1912. The bal
anoe on account of support paid
wholly from United States revenues
was estimated at $1,000, ,5S0.70. The
interest amounted to $203,770.01.
The accountants divided the entire
balance by two, in order to arrive at
a figure under the half-andhalf plan
and then added the interest charge to
make a total Of $1.206. .060.36.
OF that amount $19, 9,536.09 was re-
paid to the United States government
during the fiscal years of 1913 and
1914. In 1917, an additional $751;
75426 was reimbursed.
The report was made the basis for
the second repayment, but the first
mentioned was recognized as q Dis
trict credit in the report.
