INSPECTOR
A comtnitleo from the civic sec
tion of the Qrenter Medford club hn
been nocompnnyinjr Stnte Food In
fpector M. S. Shrock, on his tour of
inspection of the tnnrkots and cut
ins houses of Medford 41iim week.
Four bakeries, one candy fnetory, six
meat tnnrkcls, five dnirics, m.x gro
ceries mitt twelve cntinp lioutes were
inspected. The Indies did not in
sjcet nil of those places, but will 'do
so in the, nenr future.
Some very deplorable conditions
were found, opccinlly in the eating
houses. Auy housekeeper knows
tliut oysters, tomatoes nnd mush-
rooms must he emptied nt once when
the enns nre opened. Hut in more
tlian hnlf the eating houses nnd one
or two hotels food of this sort was
found stnudinir in tlie cans hours nf
ter thev had been oKncd in some
cases decayed in the cans.
Jinny ice hoses were found to
contain rotten meet, soured or mold
vegetables, decayed fruit nnd abun
dant evidence of mice. In fact, one
eatinu: house was serving meat that
had been recently gnawed bv rod
ents. In n space in the rear of one
eating house, eight by ten feet, were
found the following articles: One toi
let with the door standing open nnd
indescribably filthy, used by the oc
enpnnts of four buildings; a barrel
where, n shoemaker soaked his, sole
leather, two barrels of garbage, and
fish refuse, a chair on which reposed
somo twenty pounds of meat, uncov
ered two boxes untied on the wall
containing meat and other food, lib
crally coated with mice tracks, and
two dogs.
The committee mado n second
visit to this placo and fonnd that the
dogs had been removed and an ef
fort made to screen the boxes. Rut
bo long as such hovels exist nnd the
owners, for the snko of a few dol
lars, are allowed to rent them for
such purposes, wo mny expect that
bomcono will be foolish enough to try
nnd mnke n living by offering tho
public n sure way to acquire pto
maine poisoning or typhoid fever.
The following incident was related
by one of the inspectors as Inning
occurred in Medfovil, but was class
ed by the inspectors ns typical of
that class of food handlers through
out the state: A butcher was found
with a meat grinder that had not
been washed since Inst used, and
jxjrbnps not for secral days. It
was late in the day and another in
spection was made the following
morning. At this time the helper
was preparing some meat for the
grinder, which was still unwashed
from the previous day's work. "Are
you going to wash that grinder be
fore you grind thnt meat?" was
asked of the helper. With n very as
tonished and inquiring look the
helper said: "I will, if it is neces
sary." He was told it was neces
sary. ''We believe that people who ODcr
ntc nn establishment where food far
humnn beings is prepared should bu
trained for tho work," said one of
tho inspectors. "Yet we very often
find that men with no knowledge of
the business or legal requirements
nuil with apparently less desire for
qualifications than for protits, nre
juggling our food behind the scenes,
and wo risk our lives in their un
trained hnuds.
"In your town we found a mnn
who operates a rt'sliiurnnt and does
much of the work himself, yet show
ed himself to be ignorant of some
very vital things. ITo was frank to
confess his ignorance and admitted
he had had but three weeks' experi
ince working in n vcrv small restau
rant previous to taking ehurgo of the
one ho now operates. IIo was asked
why ho undertook so important a
task with so little training, and he
again showed his frankness by ad
mitting that ho was led into it bv
the assurance thut there was money
in it."
The grocery stores inspected all
raled well above 00, though only one
was found free of mice. This one
should bo a refutation of tho idea
that a cot is n necessary adjunct of
a grocery store.
Tho hnkories of Bedford leave one
with n sinking feeling iu the pit of
tho stomach tho place whero they
onco put bakers' bread, but can put
it no longer. Ono inspector answer
ed wuen uhkcu now no wniiui go
about cleaning up such a place,
"With n torch, How can you expect
to havo clean bread baked in a. liv
ery stable or tho outhouso of onuf"
The scoring of the grocery stores
will not bo innilo public until till have
been inspected.

It may be stateJ that these scores
reveal with mathematical precision
the conditions as they exist with the
exception ot two places, viz., the Med
ford Candy Factory which has Just
been moved into new quarters and
had hardly settled down to working
conditions at the time ot inspection,
and the Cafeteria which was scored
quito low on account of lack ot
equipment rather than slack methods.
The Cafeteria is a very clean place.
Sixty is a high dairy rating.

Mr. MoICenney visited several
other cities of the enst, but the places
of special interest from n fruit
viewpoint were Virginia nnd New
Mexico these two states being com
paratively now apple-producing sec
tions. In Virginia the Albemarle
pippin i grown for shipment and iu
iv way this fruit goes on the market
in competition with the Newtown
pippin of the Rogue River xnlley.
Hut in the opinion of Mr. MeKeuiiey
the only wny iu which this variety
of fruit can be considered as n com
petitor with the Newtown is in its
keeping qualities, whieh nre such as
to enable its being put on n foreign
market alongside of the Newtown.
The Albennnrle hns not the pecul
iarly pleasing flavor of the New
town in tact, there is nothing to
the npple which comimres with the
Newtown, either in flavor, size or
general uppenrnncc.
"No." sid Mr. McKeanev. "the
Pacific growers of Newtowns need
hac no fear from this Virginia ap
ple as iv competitor in nnv of the
markets of. the world, and then
ngnin the territory in that state in
which this fruit cnu be grown is
very limited. There is practically
only one small valley iu Virginiii
where this fruit can he grown with
nny success whnlevcr.
"I also visited the miieh'Inuded
new npple section of New Mexico.
Here the Jonathan and Hen Davis
are grown, hut the fruit matures too
early to ho of any crent value for
shipping. The extreme heat of that
section ripens the fmit for market
as early ns September, nnd helm?
crown in this wnnn climate when
it renciie.s ew lork or an" other
distant mnrket, it is too soft and
overric to meet with nuvthing like
n reasonably good market. There is
no i-liinnte in tho world which can
produce an npple to a degree of per
fection equal to the northwest Pa
cific coast."

To the Editer: Talk about
"boosters." Mtirrlck Is sure some
hypnotUcr.
Wo were traveling east together
on the "Pacific Limited" and mot up
with the sheriff of Cofre county, Ne
vada, and F. E. Merrick began to
ask questions about the state of Ne
vada (and ou would have thought
that he was n five-year-old from tho
amount of questions he could spring
up.) Well, ho satisfied his curios
ity and began on Rogue river valley
aud had that sheriff so spellbound
that he forgot to get off nt his sta
tion where he chauged cars to go to
his county mnt and was carried on
townty miles bofore he discovered
that ,ho had ipaiwed Ills Junction.
Then ho laughed and said that big
red Spitxcnborg got the best of him
ami the apple story wns great. Now
t call that some "booster."
Our trutu was late, so wo will have
to remain hem until tomorrow fore
noon, ns there Is on!y one train per
day north to Douglas, Womlng, our
destination.
They are having beautiful weath
er, as a Chinook Is blowing lightly
and tho thermometer stands nt 68
degrees at 10 a. in. and the sun Is
shining bright as summer.
I am enclosing a few heads of a
new wheat, "Black Emmer," which
is a winter or fall wheat, and tinder
