DIR. 0LNEY'S MILK
REPORT CAUSES A
MILD SENSATION
Many South Bend Dealers
Unable to Understand Why
They Get High Count.

Dr J. +. Olney. chief Of the di-
vision of food and dairy inspection,
created a mild stir among milk dis
tributors of South Bend when he
made public a few days ago his first
report on the condition of the city's
milk supply
Some dealers. especially those
who prided themselves on the care
they exercised to have their milk
pure and palatable. were surprised
20 see DIR. Oney's report that their
milk graded above the 100000 per
cubic ccutimeter bacterial count,
which according To law is the high
est count allowed for milk that is
TO be used for food purposes.
When asked TO explain why some
of these counts ran so high, DIR. OIL
ney stated frankly me could not tell
exactly the reason i'm each case.
~ high bacterial count may be
due TO many things, he stated.
His version was that high bac-
teral count may be had By frequent
handling; varying temperatures md
poor liberation. as well as being
caused by improper sterilization OF
cans. milk bottles and other milk
containers
on his report one milk distributor
showed a count Of 300 900 while
milk of two other distributors who
obtained their milk originally from
the same concern showed a count
below 100000.
DR.. Olney's only explanation OF
this discrepancy i'm figures was that
the tests made on the dealers whicI
showed the low count had obtained
their milk on days when the bac-
terial count for that particular DIS
tribution plant would have been
under 100000 He pointed out thar
the count would vary daily and the
figures which he quoted were an
average for the two months lie bad
been in office.
DR.. Olney wished ii made clear
that figures he quoted were not from
his own tests and therefore he was
i'm no way responsible for their
authority The tests are made by
Dr William Culpepper OF the South
Bend Medical Laboratory. and Dr.
Olney stated he believed the figures
were as nearly accurate as could be
obtained elsewhere. He urged that
any milk dealers who felt the figures
in his report were unfavOrable 10
them should personally take sam
pies of their product TO the labora-
tory and have them tested.
Il am doing my very best 10 treat
all dealers fairly My records are
open for inspection of anyone who
cares to look them over and l am
only too glad To cooperate with any
and all of them i'm order 10 give
South Bend good, clean milk sup
ply. and TO raise the milk standard
i'm this vicinity.
DR. Olney suggested that distrib-
utors make filter tests as milk comes
from the farmers and offer a prem
ium for milk that is graded high in
cleanliness
DR.. OIney agreed that too much
care could not be exercised i'm keep
ing milk clean and said he favored
tuberculin testing of cattle TO insure.
as hr as possible the milk supply
that came into this city was the
product of healthy, normal cows

ranging from Is to so per cent
Mr. r. H. Jackson. delegate from
ST. Joseph county. asked for 50
per cent reduction for farmers in

Delegates Warmed Up.
The delegates waxed warm when
Commissioner Brown indicated that
land would probably be assessed at
about the same valuation as last
year. and threatened TO put some one
in the commissioner Office next
election who would be more con-
siderate of proper valuations
However, before the meeting
closed. Mr.. Brown agreed that each
township assessor should have the
services of three farmers i'm the
township to arrive at a proper APP
praisement Of land i'm that township.
According to Earning CapaN .ty.
Several delegates pointed to the
fact that farm lands like railroads
and corporations, should be as
sessed according 10 their earning
capacity instead of their proximity
to good roads or municipalities.
IL is known fact that i'm the past
