Honorable Arthur Capper.
Member United States Senate,

~ Dear Senator Capper: |



I request that your Committee institute

a thorough investigation into the activities

of the Public Health Service, especially in-
- sofar as it relates to safeguarding the milk

sup ly of the nation.

-. The Public Health Sees reaches into
the states through the Statesand- Municipal
Health Boards.

The contention of the United States Pub- |

lic Health Service is that high bacterial
count in milk is generally indicative of un-

sanitary handling of milk and the presence -
sof foreign matter in the milk. In this con--

tention I believe they are correct. Their
contention is also that pathogenic or dis-

sInvestigation..






















EX

ease germs in milk are cesteree by pas-

| teurization.

In this contention also they may be cor-_
rect. Guided by these contentions of the
United States Public Health Service, and

State Public Health Departments, as wellas

- by local authorities, the Legislature of Geor-

gia and other states have passed legislation
putting very stringent requirements on pro-
ducers of milk for bottling purposes.

The Georgia law provides for the sale of |

raw milk that is produced under specified
requirements and which shows a bacterial
_count which shall not exceed 50,000 per
cubic centimeter at any time before delivery
to the consumer. -

The Georgia law also provides that Grade
A raw milk, showing a count of not more
than 50,000 bacteria, may be pasteurized
and sold as Grade A pasteurized milk.

These laws were passed to safeguard the
health of children; invalids _and _adults.
Grade A pasteurized milk under Georgia
law must not show more than 30,000 bac-
teria count.

I am mailing you copy, of this weeks
Georgia Market Bulletin which carries a
full account of the National Milk Racket.

You will see when you receive this Bulletin -

the first of next week that the United
States Public Health Service has secured
the endorsement of many medical authori-
ties for the pasteurizing of milk, all of
which endorsements were based upon the
pasteurization of milk produced under such
rigid supervision as to make it as whole-
some and healthful as raw milk. Whole

-milk to be pasteurized as an additional

safeguard.

Market Bulletin and by reference to Public
Health Bulletin No. 220. 1939 edition, known

SECTION 1.:That Section &

amended by substituting the fol-
lowing paragraph for the first per
agraph of said section:

Grade A milk is milk produced
under the provision as set out in
chapter 53, Article 3 of the Code of
the City of Atlanta, for 1942, the
average bacterial plate count of
which, as determined under Sec-
tion 43-301 (s) 53-311 of said code,
does not exceed 200,000. per cubic
centimeter, or the average micro-
scopic count of which does not ex-
ceed 800,000 per cubic centimeter
if organisms are counted, or the

~ reduction time of which is not less
than six hours before pasteuriza-
tion and which _ bacterial plate
count, as provided * herein, after
pasteurization shall not exceed 30,-
000 per cubic centimeter. In order
to more adequately protect the
health of the people of Atlanta, all
Grade A milk sold in the City of
Atlanta on and after July 17, 1947
shall be pasteurized. Such milk
must be produced upon. dairy
farms conforming with all of the
following items of sanitation:

SECTION 2. Nothing in this
amendment shall change or other-
wise affect sub-sections 1 through

You will note that flue new law

specifically refers to Section 53-301,

_ which it does not repeal, but, makes
it the criterion for determining the

ively. .And said-milk must be pro-
duced upon dairy farms conform-

ing with all of the following items

of sanitation. ie:
You will note that, under this sec-

tion, 50,000 means 200,000 or 4 to 1.
Vou will also note that, under this see-
tion, 200,000 means 800 000 4 in milk that

ZS to be pasteurized, This i is also 4 to 1.
You will note-that this old section pro-

_ vided that the count should be <le-
termined under section 53-301, sub-
section S. You will note that the new
ordinance also provides for the count |
to be determined under section 53-301,
sub-section 8.

With these facts 3 in mind, it should

be clear to a casual reader that the

ordinance adopted as a war measure

and allowed 1 million~ count - -actually
meant 4 million bacteria in milk to ve
pasturized.

_ When you think of one-fourth of a_
teaspoonful of milk containing 4 mil-
lion bacteria, you begin to realize what
kind of slops this means.

4 million to a fourth of a teaspoonful,

16 million to the teaspoonful. How many
would that be in a quart?

Dear Sir;

Just a word io say that I am im accord:
with you in what you did and had to say
in your. editorial of last week, regarding
the milk situation. You speak so much truth
as to how it was/made.
_worked at a dairy where they did just what
you said, and are still at it, and you. did
the thing that was right when you stop the

sale of milk of that class, if you will en-
force your order. I want you to pardon me
for the bad writing, it is noon-time and I

-am working in the field. Got all my cotton
_ chopped out.

P..8. 1 might ask you this: Does your
Department look after and enforce Jaws
pertaining. to cruel treatment of. livestock,
or do we have a law like this in our state.

should have. Well this is about all from

Hon. Tom Linder, . /

Commissioner of Agriculture;

Atlanta, Georgia.
' Dear friend. Mr.

Linder:
Your agitation of the milk situation ik

of great interest. to me. I have handled dairy

cattle and milk and dairy products for over

| fifty years.

My latest and last venture was in trying

to establish a herd of high quality pure bred
Jerseys. I was getting along very well in

spite of the Abundant Living selling herd

sires as fast as they were ready and bred.
_ heifers with frequent regularity, 1 did not

like to sell heifers as a fundamental rule

the value of pasteurizing

in improving the herd is to keep the best
females, :
But along came a law passed by the

* Florida Legislature requiring a heavy in-
| vestment in equipment, improved buildings,
-et cetera. .

My long years experience in producing

high quality milk enabled me to deliver

milk"so clean it need not be pasteurized. 1.

used a pure buttermilk culture for ripen-_

ing cream for churning and for preparing

buttermilk and cottage cheese.

But the new law would not even permit
me to give the milk etc. away. I became
tired of pouring the whole milk out to pigs
and chix and calves, and puppies and kit-
tens, (they liked it O. K.) and finally sold

out,

That law was just another racket hid-
den under the laudable purpose of assure

? | ing good milk, fit to use.

But all the pasteurizing in a hundved
years will not make good milk out of bad
milk. The best plan is to allow farmers to

} produce milk, but see that the milk all the
| way thru is plese and fit to use,

I was foreman of a small milk receiving

and ice cream plant in which I reduced the

bacteria count from a very high figure to
practically nothing, just by keeping equip-
ment clean and sterile, There is no substi-.
tute forcleanliness. Milk that is low grade,

will be low grade right on.

I hope, my good friend you may find

' something here of interest, at least suffi--
cient to justify reading it. Will gladly en-

large on the theme, when and if you will

; 60 request.

The State Of Georgia And The City Of Atlanta

Atlanta is a part of the State. The

laws enacted by the Legislature of the

State apply to the city of Atlanta.
The State has adequate laws for the
the protection of the health OE the milk
consumer.
The State laws are nial more rigid

than anything the city has.

Lhe city can not have a valid law if
it is in conflict with a State law.

The only possible way to have a safe
supply of milk is to protect that sup-
ply locally.

The dairymen of Georgia must pro-
duce milk for Georgia or Georgia can-
not have a supply of wholesome milk.

The Georgia farmer must in turn be
willing to go to the expense and
trouble of producing clean and whole-
some milk,

It is my firm poanion to see that the

people of Atlanta and the people of

every other town of Georgia have a sup-
ply of clean, wholesome milk under
State laws to which all local authorities
must bow.

It is my position and my duty as

Commissioner of Agriculture to pro-

tect the health of the people from in-
sanitary milk.

It is my position and my duty as
en-

_clean up all these slops







courage the production of. ample sup-
plies of clean, wholesome milk.

It is my duty as Commissioner of
Agriculture, insofar as within me lies
to see that the people of the State are
portectd against impure and un:
wholesome milk and milk products

even to the extent of addition of harm-

less coloring matter in milk and milk
products found within the state unfit
for human consumption.

The dairymen of Georgia must help
me to,do so by bringing their stand-
ards of producing up to legal require-
ments.

he consumers of the State must
help me do this by giving me their
whole-hearted backing and cooperation.

The intrests of the dairymen and
the milk consumers are identical.

The National Milk Racket has suc-
ceeded in getting former employees
and paid attorneys in strategic posi-
tions on milk boards, city councils,

In spite of all of these, we intend to

When you apply the logarithmic av-

ilk Racket |

_ Tn a great many places in northern
dairy states the farmer produces milk

and sells it under a special contract.

Often these contracts provide for the
farmer to be penalized if the bacteria
count in milk runs above a relatively
low figure.

If the farmer is delivering milk on
a basis of 3% percent butterfat, he 1s
supposed to receive the difference if
he delivers milk running more than 3.5
percent butterfat. Lets suppose that
today he delivers his milk to the Com-
pany. The Companys man takes a
sample and the sample is run. in_ the
Companys laboratory. The Company
reports the milk as being 4.5 percent or
5 pereent butterfat, but also reports an
excess in bacteria count. In that case,
the farmer is penalized and is made to
lose all of the butterfat in excess of
3.) percent because his milk showed



te

The farmer is penalized under the

claim that it is done in the interest of.

public health. Now if it were actually

done in the interest of public health,

the farmer would not be permitted to
sell this milk and if the
bought it, the Company would not be

permitted to sell it if the public health

was really to be protected.
What actually happens is, that when
the Company takes the farmer 's milk,

they simply take a part of his butter-.

fat without paying for it. After the

~ Company gets the milk the butterfat
and the milk is passed onto the con--

suming public.

The health of the consumer is in no-

way safeguarded by the farmer being
penalized. It is simply a_ racket
through which the farmer is penalized
in favor of the milk racket. -
