 Milk Supply Improves ...
 Bessemer will soon have six new or practically rebuilt dairies in opera tion. The erection of the dairies, health officials say, is directly traceable to the operation of the recently adopted milk ordinance. which has also been re- sponsible for the installation of large volume of equipment, and marked im- provement in the milk supply. Dr. G. w. Patton, city inspector, working under Dr. J. D. Bowling states that the quality of milk has improved from an average of 250,000 bacteria count last July to less than 75,OO0 at present.
 These ratings have been taken from the 70 larger dairies of the district. These dairies have installed nine steam sterilizing outfits, though the law does not require this additional precaution. It will be remembered that the ques- ton of steam sterilization was the chief obstacle to the passage of the Bowling ordinance in the city council, and health officials point to this volun- tary installation of the steam outfits, as an indica tion of the co-operat ation they are receiving from the dairymen.
 New op practically rebuilt dairy barns being opened at this time or within a short while, are on the farms of Joe Rosser, Thad Burchfiled, NJ. T. Higganbotham, Bob Rosser, w. c. Bailey & Son, Cooley Brothers.
 The Bowling ordinance requires that milk sold in the city prior to April 30 must have less than 150.000 bacteria count. At present there are five dairies which have a count of less than 10000 eight which have counts less than 5O.- 900; three below 100000, and two just slightly over 100000. After April 30 all dairies here must have less than 100000, and health officials state they believe that all will fall under this average. .-'
