W, B. Ayer Peelares Elimination of
One and Two-Cow Dairies Weald
Increase Infant Mortality.
W. B. Ayer, state food administrator,
yesterday made clear his reasons for
opposing the proposed new milk ordi
nance, introduced by Commissioner
Mann at a Council meeting last Tues
day night. Any Increase In the price
of milk, says Mr, Ayer, invariably re
suits In the death of babies.
It Is a peculiar fact," he continued.
"that no matter what the price of but
ter, eggs, bread or most of the other
common foods may be, their consump
tion goes on, and Is practically con
etant. With milk, thou"- U U entirely
different. As soon as the irice goes
up a little, people begin using less of
it, and as a consequence the babies
suffer.
"Whia Its food value. In comparison
to ether foods Is taken Into considera
tion, milk ts one of the cheapest foods
available In Oregon. Moreover, the
food administrator has never urged a
decrease in milk consumption. Of
course, any waste, such as allowing
milk to sour and then throwing it
away. Is Inadvisable, but ipl are
making a good Investment when they
use as much milk as they like.
These were my reasons for opposing
the milk ordinance proposed the other
evening. An ordinance such aa the one
proposed, that would put the one and
two-cow dalrlee out of business, could
the luncheon tomorrow of the members'
council of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce. Ha will discuss the busi
ness outlook for 1918, and tell what the
past year brought the state In the way
of business and new Industries.
