ties by our present milk producers at a comparatively low 

 cost. The principle of centralization of effort through the 

 establishment of a central station under the supervision of a 

 resident Sanitary Superintendent, and the payment for milk 

 based on sanitary quality and chemical quality as deter- 

 mined by laboratory tests, are principles which can be 

 adopted in any locality and which will bring sure results. A 

 large volume of business can be secured by one central sta- 

 tion receiving milk from a number of dairy farms. This 

 makes necessary only one power plant, one bottling equip- 

 ment, one washing and sterilizing equipment, one good ar- 

 tesian well, and the salaries of one superintendent and one 

 force of dairy employees to handle the milk from several 

 scores of farms. The volume is such that the tax for Sanitary 

 Control and handling on each quart of milk is small. This 

 form of organization gives efficiency and economy and 

 means clean milk at low cost.
