Continued Opposition Leads Us To Discuss Subject Which Is As
Dangerous As Dynamite And Yet Of Vital Importance
To Every Baltimore County Farmer.
DON'T SPILL THE MILK—RULINGS OF BALTIMORE I because of its low bacteria count,
when it is a matter of record that CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SANE AND SENSIBLE, carload after carload of such milk
i had to be dumped out as unfit for use
----------------------- I during the Washington milk strike.
Be that as it may the Health Department is a power which must be reckoned with.
This is not a fight between the Baltimore Department of Health and producers as a body. If that were the case we could be counted to line up squarely behind the producers. As we see it, however, it is an issue between those producers willing to turn out a cheap, questionable product which must take its chances on a cheap, variable, world-wide market and those producers, headed by the State Dairyman's Association who are willing to meet certain reasonable requirements thereby gaining the right to serve a restricted market which offers a higher price. We believe practically all Baltimore county producers who give the matter careful thought will agree the latter course is far more profitable. To those unwilling to expend extra care we can offer little consolation, for Baltimore county farmers have persistently forged to the top in other departments and we believe it will only be a question of a few months before its milk producers will be out-classing all others in the shipping of clean milk.
The subject is an all-important one which merits the careful consideration and deepest thought of those concerned rather than the unchecked anger which some are voicing.

LAND CONVEYED TO MONKTON M. E. CHURCH.
(By Nancy Hanks)
Continued opposition by some •dairymen against rulings of the Baltimore Board of Health leads us to discuss a subject which we believe is about as dangerous as dynmaite, and yet, which is of vital importance to Baltimore county farmers. Perhaps six months ago after hearing various cases of shippers having been cut off, we were tempted to rush into print about the injustices being wrought Feeling, however, that it was a matter of such far-reaching importance we delved somewhat deeply into the subject and found many facts in direct contradiction to the ones which had been presented us.
It seems that the present milk regulations were on a great measure conceived some twenty years ago, but knowing that drastic enforcement then would cause a milk shortage as well as work untold hardships upon producers the Health Department was prevailed upon to work up to the present standard gradually. After a long preparatory period, and with an abundant supply of milk in sight the Department decided to clamp on the lid, and as a consequence less careful producers here have been forced to mend their ways.
Some of the regulations as laid down do seem drastic indeed, but on the other hand we are credibly informed by successful producers that the Departments main concern is freedom from bacteria. Charts showing bacteria counts on each shipper's product are on file for years in the Department's office and a careful check-up will show almost without fail those who are feeling the pinch now have had persistently high bacteria records which show periodic drops to a more normal point when letters of warning have been sent out. We are reliably informed that only such shipper's premises have been frequently inspected and that there are instances where there have been no inspections of somewhat doubtful barns simply because the owners have regularly shipped milk with a bacteria count well within the requirements. Frankly, the host of more or less indifferent producers has kept the corps of inspectors so busy they have had little or no time to spend on farms which are shipping a satisfactory product.
Naturally you ask "How can milk with low bacteria count be produced without the use of expensive appliances?" It goes without saying that reasonable care and cleanliness must be applied all along the line whether your equipment be the most modern or ever so humble. After discussing the question with dozens of successful dairymen, however, we are convinced that the simple key to the situation is immediate and complete cooling of milk when it is taken from the cow. This stops increase of the bacteria at once and with proper handling thereafter virtually all trouble is eradicated. In this connection dairymen have warned us against the use of shipping cans for cooling purposes, the sides are thick and the process of changing temperature takes place too slowly. Tall, thin cooling cans may be procured
at a slight cost and their regular use in first a cooling and then a storage trough will give the "bugs" little or no opportunity to get in their damaging work.
Candidly, we have personally investigated the cases of several shippers who felt that they had grievances and almost without exception we found the Department's action justified if existing rules are to be enforced. In nine cases out of ten through the unknown carelessness of hired men, or indifference on the part of the owner himself, conditions had crept in which were in direct variance with the Department's rules. So in every case we investigated the shipper had had warning, and not infrequently had been previously reproved for having an excessive bacteria count.
We hold no brief for the Department of Health. We believe that if full confidence is to be won for its activities its representatives should I at once give a satisfactory explan-I ation as to why reports on samples are being sent parties who have not shipped a drop of milk to Baltimore for months.
In this connection one of the greatest services the Department could render producers would be to mail a duplicate report to each shipper each time a bacteria count is made. This would not place a particularly heavy clerical or financial burden on the City but would be of tremendous aid to shippers. Many a man has let his bacteria count climb way up into the millions without being conscious of it, whereas an accurate reminder would have renewed his efforts towards better production before the task reached an apparently hopeless point and heavy financial loss was sustained.
So too we believe the Department is making a grave mistake in threatening to use New York State milk,

RALSTON IMPROVEMENT ASSO. HOM>S OPEN MEETING.
At a meeting of the Ralston Improvement Association held in the Pikesville Public School a number of folks from other improvement associations attended, and as a result of this gathering some sort of alliance between the various improvement associations of the county may be made in the near future.

ECONOMY—Despite unprecedented demand. Port land Cement remains the most economical building material. Comparison of prices of building materials and Atlas Portland Cement. Source: Building material prices from V. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Atlas Portland Cement prices from the records of the Company.
DISTRIBUTION—Distribution of Atlas Portland Cement is direct and economical through close co-operation of efficient local dealer*. A straight line is the cheapest distance between two points.
ATLAS EFFICIENCY and DISTRIBUTION Insure Building Economy
THE cheapest of all products under' going a complete manufacturing proc' ess is made available through simplified economical distribution to the user.
Between the Atlas plants and the user there is but one distributor—the building material dealer—and the directness of this marketing serves to bring Atlas to the buying public cheaper than any other method devised.
The Atlas dealer with his warehouse and yard storage safeguards building operations through an ample supply of materials, and with his trucks and general facilities he can make prompt emergency deliveries. Back of the Atlas dealer is the Atlas reserve storage capacity, greater than the output of the entire nation twenty years ago.
Thus, the one building material having the widest variety of uses, making possible rapid construction and providing fire safety and permanence for any building, is brought to the user a few bags, or thou-sands of bags, through a distribution method that sustains building economy.
As\ your dealer for Atlas Building Helps
Through its dealer, Atlas supplies free books on concrete construction, written by Atlas Engineers recognized nationally as authorities. You are also invited to con' suit these Engineers on any building problem without charge.
If your dealer can't supply the book you want, write our nearest office.
IN a period of advancing costs, the price of Atlas has remained consistently low. Today it is cheaper than it was thirty years ago. All Atlas plants, operating under one central control, make only one grade of Portland Cement—the best that science and skill can produce—and every member of the operating group takes pride in helping to maintain Atlas as— "The Standard by which all other Ma\es are Measured''''

I EXTRA POWER
In the Driving Range!
| That's Why the 1924 Cleveland Excels In
| Traffic Get-away and Hill Performance
^ Between 10 and 35 miles an hour, the new "extra power" motor
5f of the 1924 Cleveland Six develops up to 30 per cent, more horse-y power than the average light six motor at exactly the same speeds. ? That's why the 1924 Cleveland rushes past bigger and costlier
£ cars on hills—why the Cleveland owner simply steps on the accel-y erator and shoots swiftly ahead in traffic while the drivers of other y sixes are still shifting gears.
ECONOMY AND SILENCE.—When you drive the 1924 Cleveland and see how easily it out-performs the average light six, please remember this important fact:
Its faster traffic pick-up and greater speed on hills is achieved not by putting a big noisy, inefficient motor under the hood—but by the use of a smaller motor scientifically developed to combine superior performance powers with greater economy and silence.
RUGGED AND LIGHT.—Built only of the fines talloy steels, the Cleveland chassis combines great strength with lightness. With less dead weight to carry, tires last as high as 20,000 miles. For the same reason, oil and gas bills are smaller.
FISHER BODIES.—All closed models have handsome Fisher bodies, beautifully proportioned and brilliantly finished. The sedan seats five omfortably. There is ample leg room for every passenger. Seats are deep, low, and upholstered in the finest taupe plush. DRIVE IT.—Drive the 1924 Cleveland with its new power plant and sixteen other big improvements! Even if it were not powered by the finest motor of its size ever placed in an automobile, it would still be the soundest investment in the light six field!
