IN AN EFFORT no RPINc hO---s- -


IN AN EFFORT TO BRING better condition,
at the farm or dairy, where the milk sunnIv fo,

Welfare Commission of Delaware. has soppbt
and has received the aid of the national health
authorities, in making inspections of the milk
served to all the people in the towns of Della
ware, as well as that sent to the cooling sta
tlons and creameries. The results have shown
by the actual tests and demonstrations that
there is very much dirt in the milk as marketed
by each producer and seller of milk in Delaware
as the result of the first tests made since the
hrst Of June The report is startling, but not
alarming, as the high germ tests is very largely
the result of no provision having been made nv
the farmer to cool the milk after milking and
until delivery to the consumer or dealer in milk
That the cows are not free from dirt when milk
ed and that the hands of the mixers are not
thoroughly clean when the milking is done. is
another unnecessary cause for the dirt found in
the milk when put to the simple test of pouring
1t through absorbent cotton, which absorbs the
liquid and leaves the sediment on the lint of the
cotton The result of this simple test is indis-
putable proof of uncleanliness as the result of
not brushing dirt from the COWS before milking
and that the hands of the mixers are not well |
cleaned This first test, in all parts of Delaware
was a surprise to the farmers as well as the
milk consumers; but there is nothing for alarm
IN this result The next examination and test
and these will be continued through the cur
rent year-will probably show totally different
results When the farmers provide some kind
OF milk cooling system, the very high percen-
tage IN microbes, will be cut to ESry low stan
dard. 1t is all simple and plain work for any

1t is only the slip-shod methods of the lazy and
poor managing milk producer, that will continue {
the low grading of milk in Delaware. Whatever
is worth ooing at all, is certainly worth doing
right, and the man desirous of making a success
of his business will promptly correct the trou- c
bles pointed out to them. There is no reason
why milk should not be kept clean as when it
comes from the COW. It is the human individual v
that causes all the trouble, by attempting to g
slight the work and thereby injuries the business t.
as well as endangers the consumers of milk a

when there is work to be done here This posi- TO
ton meets with the views of Dawes. who, like yo
the President believes that if a man is elected da
to work for the people he should perform the pl
asks which confront him. When Dawes was
lirectOr of the Budget he refused to take anv du
'acation, stating that he had been selected to
york for the people and he could not forsake his
