Commissioner Colman Gives Ills Opinion on the Adulteration of Food. Wasiiisotox, September 2. The Asso ciation of Official Agricultural Chemists, met in annual convention at the Depart ment of Agriculture to-day, Yico President Trof. IL a White, of Georgia, in the chair. Mr. Colman, Commissioner of Agriculture, delhered an address in which, after declar ing bis entire sympathy and that of the fanners of the-country in the object of the association, whicli was to secure a uniform method of analysis of fertilizers, be ex pressed the hope that the association would extend its deliberations to the methods of chemical anal sis. Mr. Colman thought the association should also fix standards of purity for tho different kinds of food and establish methods for the detection of adul terations. He thought that the General Government ousht to co-operate with the respective State Governments in passing the most stringent laws against tho adul teration of foods. Upon this point Mr. Colman said: "In so simple a matter as the adulteration of milk, it would be hard to secure a conviction in n court of justice- for any persons practicing It, because of the absence of any official standard by means of which the extent of tho adulteration could be measured, it should not only be the object of agricultural chemists that abundant crops should be produced, but also to see that the products of the field should be delhered to consumers free of any cheap or deleterious adultera tion. On the question of food adulteration, I have been greatly interested and anxious that some steps may bo taken by means of which the extent of it may be diminished. I hae already directed the chemist of this (icimtmeut to give attention to the adulter ation of foods. The frauds that are prac ticed upon the public in adding cheap and frequently harmful ingredients to the food v.e e.it in order to make greater prohts ought to be exposed in no uncertain way and the perpetrators of them held up beforo tlio public as objects of scorn and detestation. To such in extent is the adulteration of but ter the manufacture of a counterfeit article carried on that the great dairy interests of our Njtion are now almost prostrate. Tho honest producer of a pure article is impov erished, while the manufacturers of and ilealcrs in a fraudulent article are enriched, o:nc oL them having become millionaires by this illegal work. The same may be Slid in relation to the adulteration of flour, sugar and srups." At the conclusion of Mr. Oilman's address the reports of tho committees appointed nt the last meeting of the association upon the best methods of determining phosuhoric acid and potash in fi'rtili7ers were read and debated. Prof. T. It. Gladdlns read a paper on each of the subjects. The committee on the best means of determining nitrogen in fertilizers will make its report to-morrow. GETTING OUT.
