Dairy Ratings To
Be Given Study In
d. C. Milk Probe
Montgomery County Dairymen
Have Complained Of Unfair
Practices

Elwood H. Seal, special counsel to
the Senate Milk Investigating Com.
mittee, Wednesday started an inquiry
into the practice Of the District of
Columbia Health Department. His
decision to probe milk conditions in
Washington arose mostly out of COM
plants received from Montgomery
county and Virginia milk producers.
These Health Department ratings
have a direct bearing on the price
the farmers receives for the milk. II
his rating is high, he gets a better
price. If it is low, he gets lower
price. Numerous complaints have
reached Mr.. Seal from dairy farmers
who say their ratings drop whenever
they fall from the good graces Of the
producers association.
The difficulties of entering the field
as milk producer were disclosed to
Mr.. Seal by Montgomery County pro-
week.
ducers who we're interviewed this
One producer was advised not to 90
into dairy business by officials Of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Produc-
ers Association. In spite Of their adj
vice he started dairy farm. Then his
troubles began with the Health De-
partment, he said.
An inspector ordered him to make
improvements. He did. The inspector
came back and ordered more improve
ments before he would issue license
to ship milk to the District. Then, the
farmer again applied for license and
the same inspector ordered additional
alterations.
After considerable difficulty at. the
end Of which he threatened legal ac-
ton to compel the issuance of the
license, he finally succeeded in secur.
ing 1t. Mr.. Seal said the same inspec-
tor ordered all the improvements.
The dairy farmer said he protested
SO vociferously against the scorings
that the inspector raised his rating so
the milk could be shipped here.

y. w. Anderson, county agent,
has made comprehensive study of
agricultural conditions for the month
of June. His narrative report fol-
lows:
Agricultural conditions in Mont
gomery County during the month
of June considerably improved over
those of the previous month. Prac-
tically all of the corn was planted
during the month of June, which
was very unusual condition for
this county. However, when the wet
weather ceased, planting conditions
and later growing conditions have
been almost ideal. Summer pasture
has held up wonderfully well and
the yield of hay will be abnormally
large; however, it is practically all
timothy due to clover failing to set
in the spring of 1882. Barley
showed varying condition over the
county. In some sections, the crop
was normal or above, while in other
sections the yield was far behind
what was expected.
One of the definite projects of the
month was that Of gathering wool
for cooperative marketing. 53O4
lbs. were assembled and trucked to
the warehouse in Baltimore in one
day and subsequent shipments have
been going in since that time. How
ever, we have no definite figures as
to the amount that has been pooled
from this county up until this time.
The principal drawback to coopera-
tive wool marketing this year was
the rapid advancement of open mar
ket prices, which on some days ma
terially over-shadowed the advance
price being paid through the pool.
This, together with a very urgent
need of funds, influenced many farm

NEW YORK, May 3 G.N.s0.
With cheers for their release,
240 weary passengers, fog-bound
for more than "a hours aboard
the White Star liner Majestic,
flocked down the gangplank to-
day.
Meanwhile, 200 other passen-
gers were marooned outside
Ambrose Lightship when the
Prince liner, Southern Prince,
and the Excalibur, of the Amer
lean Export line, were unable to
make Quarantine because Of the
fog.
The Santa Maria, Grace line,
which reached Quarantine today,
was still anchored there await
ing a lift in the fog. y
In addition to the passengers,
three customs officials, six immi-
grafton inspectors, and a half
dozen newspaper reporters spent
the night aboard the Majestic at
Quarantine.
While the giant ship lay an.
chored behind its ghostly shroud,
a special train waited fruitlessly
for a distinguished passenger,

who was to have dined as guest

night before proceeding to Pitts
