144 CONFERENCE, ON MILK PROBLEMS 



1. Certified milk must be produced in accordance with the 

 requirements of the American Association of Medical Milk 

 Commissions. 



2. Inspected milk must be a wholesome, clean article, ob- 

 tained under sanitary conditions from cows shown to be free 

 from tuberculosis by the tuberculin test and containing not 

 more than 100,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. 



S. Pasteurized milk must be a clean, inspected milk, which 

 has been properly pasteurized under an official standard in es- 

 tablishments which shall at all times be subject to inspection 

 and tests by public inspectors." 



MR. DANA : I move the adoption of the resolution. 



(The motion was duly seconded.) 



THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any discussion? 



MR. DANA: I am heartily in favor of the adoption of that reso- 

 lution, because, in connection with the excellent address and re- 

 marks of Prof. Harding, it seems to be directly in line. It gives 

 the dealer in New York City or in the smaller city the opportunity 

 to buy and place upon his wagon inspected milk, and it gives him 

 the right to so advertise. Then he goes to the producer and pays 

 a premium to get it. The housewife who buys that milk knows 

 what she is getting. 



In the milk dealing that has been engaged in in the past, the 

 lowest possible quality of milk has fixed the price of milk. Now, 

 I know, in the City of Rochester, there is a dealer there who is 

 willing to pay a premium for good milk, if he can only be assured 

 that he will be protected in the sale of that milk, and that other 

 men would have to buy equally as good milk if they sold it as in- 

 spected milk. (Applause.) 



(The motion was carried and the resolution adopted.) 



DR. WILE: In view of the paper of Dr. VanSlyke, the next 

 resolution will undoubtedly elicit some discussion. 



"Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that it is 

 desirable that state standards for the chemical standards for 

 milk should as rapidly as possible be brought to conform with 

 the Federal standard of 3.25 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent 

 solids not fat." 



(It was moved and seconded that the resolution be adopted.) 

 THE CHAIRMAN: It is now before you. Is there any discussion? 

 It is a somewhat technical subject.
