The Boardman Mirror MARK A. CLEVELAND, Publisher PUBLISHES) EVERT FRIDAY 2.0 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE- Entered an second-class matter Feb 11, 1921, at the postofflce at Board man, Ore., under act of Mar. 3, 187 9 THE MILK PROBLEM Much misleading information l.s being circulated In regard to what constitutes a safe procedure for handling our most valuable and in dispensable food product. It is true the health and very lives of our children are dependent upon an In telligent handling of our milk sup plies. Most of this questional!" propaganda Is circulated by those Interested in raw milk distribution. The sole object of this propaganda is to defeat compulsory pasteuriza tlon. The preservation of health and prevention of disease are not given due consideration. Should their propaganda bo successful it will mean that Portland will con tinue to be a fertile field for milk borne epidemics. Most large cities have learned the lesson and have adopted effective legislation pre venting this needless loss and disa bility. Most of this propaganda Is so apparently out of keeping with the facts that it is needless to discuss it with physicians who are in touch with modern milk sanitation. In order, however, that you may all form an intelligent opinion the var ious statements will be discussed It! detail. The statement that health authorities are not agreed In regard to pasteurization is absolutely un true. The following statement from Park's latest edition of "Public Health and Hygiene", page 380. Bhows that authorities are practic ally unanimous in regard to past eurizat Ion : "When we consider our iMbllit to Identify the chronic typhoid car rier .the slightest cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever, and the Impossi bility of eliminating in the near fu ture tuberculosis from our dairy herds, we realise that something be yond inspection is required to make safe the general milk supply. Most of ua who have studied the ques tlon believe that proper pasteruiza tion under rigid inspection is thr method by which wholesome mil I; can he provided." An Inspection of a properly sup ervised and conducted pasteurization plant will demonstrate to your sat isfaction that contamination after pasteurization Is next to impossible The facts In regard to the Chicago epidemic, according to official rec ords show that this epidemic was due to a badly Infected milk supph and Imperfect pasteurization. The official record of the health depart nient on page 1011 states: "A check up on the dally charts dlsclos ed the fact that pasteurization had beon done very Ineffectively on De cember 17. lfl, 24 and 28, 1911 Methods were used that are now prohibited." "The address of W. H. Donnelly. M. D., a pediatrician of Brooklyn, New York, limply represents the opinion of a small group of physl clanB who insist on disagreeing with the majority. There is no certified milk sold In Portland, and the raw milk sold here falls short of meet ing the restrictions of the Medical Milk Commission and the Certified Milk Producers Association. Certi fled milk costs about ten cents more a quart and Is entirely out of the reach of the common Consumer The era of pasteurization Is juHt beginning and will not pass away any sooner than sterilization In modern hospital procedure. Antisep sis and chemical milk preservation are comparable, but modern pasteur Izstlon makes milk safe in the same manner that modern surgery Is ren dered ssfe. There Is no reason why standards of cleanliness can not be as easily enforced for pasteurized milk as they are for raw milk. The bacll Iub of tuberculosis Is destroyed by proper pasteurization at not less than 142 degrees Fahrenheit, for 30 minutes. "Pasteurization by the holding method between 142 degrees V and 148 degrees F. for 30 minutes des troys the tubercle bacillus." Hurt lett. Director of Laboratory of the Connecticut State Hoard of Health, October 1923 number of the Amer lean Journal of Public Health. "We are sure that If milk reaches 140 degrees F., and is held for 20 mln utes. It will kill tubercle, typhoid, and diphtheria bacilli " Schorer Roscnau. Journal of Medical lie search, V. 26. No. 1. Hess states in his article on In fantile Scurvy, "Although pasteur lied milk is to be recommended on account of the security it affords againKt Infection we should realize it is an Incomplete food." Edward V. McCollom states, "No Infant will ever develop scurvy if given orange Juice or tomato Juice and the feeding of raw milk Is by no means a safi guard against the de velopment of malnutrition." Hlsrock states. "Pasteurization Is the only absolute guarantee against infectious diseases in een high Krade milk." Dr. Herman Riggs. Health Offic er of the State of New York, made this statement. "Even certified milk It more likely to carry Infectious diseases than properly pasteurized milk." Low temperature pasteurization does not Injure the digestibility and nutritive value of milk The need for safeguarding the milk supply is amply proved by the, number of epidemics in Portland that have been traced to the milk supply. The problem of pasteuriza tion is not based simply on the ques tion of what is preferable, raw or pasteurized milk, but rather upon a practical way of preventing? milk borne diseases. Pasteurization today is a well proved and efficient meth od of combatting milk borne infec tious diseases. The application and enforcement of this method is the duty of every municipality. Give Plenty of Green Feed to Grow tag I'ullets EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES (Aphis) This has been an unusually bad year for aphis. No small part of the poor growth of alfalfa has been due to aphis but their natural enemies and the hot weather are rapidly ov ercoming them. While it is nrtt practical to control by spraying on a large scale as in alfalfa fields they may be kiled by using kerosene soap emulsion on garden crops and flowers. Make a thick soap solution In hot water and add one-fourth to one-third as much kerosene as water. Apply after thoroughly agitating. FARM LABOR Investigations by County Agent Morse the past week, into labor conditions over the state indicates that there will be plenty of labor available for farm work during the year. Reports from Portland, Pen dleton, and Spokane, indicate plenty of men for all jobs. A letter fronj Arthur W. Jones, of the Public Em ployment Service, of Portland, this week, says: "Replying to yours of May 10, will state that present indications point to plenty of labor In all lines. Our Applicants for work being great ly in excess of the jobs offered. We believe that this condition will be continued over a considerable per iod. We shall appreciate any order you may Hend." There will be no relaxation of quarantine restrictions aaginst Cali fornia products offered for shipment Into the state of Oregon until such time as a special committee sent to California to Investigate the foot and BtOUth disease situation files its formal report with the executive de partment. This was set out in a trie gram sent by Governor Pierce in reply to a communication received from H urging that the state of Oregon accept urlng t lint the state of Oregon accept from California fruits and vegetable produced outside of (he Infected areas which are acoom.pap.t8d by certificates from the federal government.

E. Crosby, Oregon Agricultur al college Extension Poultry Spec ialist, who is well acquainted with the poultrymen in this district, has just sent out some good advice in regard to the production and feed ing of grtee succulent feed, during the summer, and the necessity for feeding pullets a balanced ration. Mr. Crosby states: "A lack of summer green feed for growing pullets creates a risk which no forward-looking poultry man can afford to take. There Is an abund ance of green feed everywhere at this season, but in a few weeks when the pullets are larger and demand more greens, many farms are going to run short. In this section of the state green feed is possible attall peanons of the year, but only the poultrymen with the ability to plan ahead are the ones who will have a supply of succulent feed during the dry summer season. An abundant supply of succulent green feed, aside from the recogniz ed food values, his the power to off set and in a large measure atone for manv of the miserable starva tion methods of raising pullets. The pullets should be fed a bal anced ration in such a way that they will maintain a steady devel opment. Green feed during the growing period is nerhaps tin most important phase of all feedings. It is a mistake to feed pullets on a forced ration. The person who brags about their pullets laving at four months of age is quite frequently the one who becomes a s"h-artisf when the pullets go into a fall molt while the eggs are high priced. Tt i another mistake to attempt to hold back the develonrient of ptllleta by feeding them a starvation ration in an attempt to prevent a fall molt The fall molt, is freounntlv a result of mismanagement either during the the growing period or housing time In early fall. It requires good con servative judgment on the part of the owner to so grow a flock of light breed pullets that they will come into uniform production sho-tly aft er they are six months o ,age. The average poultry man must study out a feeding system to meet his conditions before falling heir to the other fellow's system, whose condi tions may be entirely different. Currant and gooseberry growers in Oregon whose bushes are affect ed with leaf spot diseases or an thraenose spray immedlatelv after the crop is harvested. The ex periment station recommends spray ing with Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50. Read the homo paper. Flea beetles and 12 spotted beet les will soon be attacking the leaves of the egg plant. Oregon vegetable growers will profit by dusting with lead arsenate after the plants are set out, says the experiment station.' Hush and pole limes are likewise chewed by the 12 spotted beetles The station finds that lead arsenate dust applied soon after the first two leaves appear will repel the insect and keep the leaves from being Injured.
