CITY GARBAGE
Council Hear Report of Health Officer
Martin and Consider Best Methods of
Providing for the Disposal of Garbage
Medical Inspection of School Children.
In all probability the next session
of the city council will see thepas
. sage of an ordinance requiring every
body to have a garbaze can for the
depositing of the garbage now usual
ly thrown into the back yard oral
ley. As explained by councilman
Clizbe, Warsaw i s a system of
this kind and it works admirably.
The cans cost $1.12 each, the city
buying them and furnishing them
to the citizens at cost. The citizens
having the cans, pay for the can and
also for hauling the garbage away.
The Minneapolis plan of having all
the garbage wrapped in papers be
ing put into the can was elso dis
cussed, but a difficulty inthe way
of this is that not all of our people
have sewer connections so that
they can drain the water off the'r
garbage, and no place but in the
backyard to throw th?ir dish water.
Valuable Report.
City health officer Dr. Marth
made a valuable report to th 3 council
last night and all who were present
appreciate! the interest he has tak
en as well as the good things he
said for berieSt 6f the c'ty.- Her
. vjewed briefly' ;the speeches -j'the
last meeting o the". State Board of
Health, giving the important tning?
S3id there.
Thirty years ago our sanitary
system was inaugurated and it ha
wrought a marvelous change in aM
the cities of our state, said Judge C.
'C. Hadley, in opening the stat
meeting. He closed by pronounc
'the highest encomiums upon Dr. J.
7C. Hurty, our state health officer.
"The privy vault was condemned as
the most unsanitary thing which
exists today in our larger cities.
State Food Inspector Barnard toll
ot the importance of requiring the
-aale of pure foods, and placed on
the local health officers the duty of
"prosecuting violations of the pure
food laws.
Medical inspection was given a
prominent place. The new law r?-
rmires that the teacher and parent
know the physical condition of the
child so that they may know how
to deal with him. Proper care of
teeth was a prominent thing in the
health of the child.
Conditions In Plymouth.
Dr. Martin got down to loca1
conditions. He said there should be
an ordinance providing for garbage
disposal. Manure piles should not:
be allowed, but should be put into
enclosed boxes or cans; privy vaults
should be kept closely covered; the
sewage which we turn into Yellow
river to let run through the city is
a connstant menace, he said; flies
should be destroyed so they will not
carry diseases which kill Tis and our
children.
Dr. Martin read an ordinance
which has been recommended by
the State Board of Health covering
11 these points. The council favor
ed the passage of the ordinance and
referred the matter to a committee
and the city attorney report at the
next meeting of the. council.
Several citizens were present and
took an interested part in tl-.c dis-
- cussioi of the garbage orunan.
The ladies said that garjasre Ja-
centaetei were th crying need of the
hosuewif e during hrt weather and
thy hoped the council would pro
vide relief for them n this respect.
Mr. Geo. Thaver looke for the
school-board and said that the mem
bers had cone much in improving
the sanitation of the two school
buildings and he believed they
wouid begin the medical inspection
of children next fall under the new
law. They would have done bo be
fore this if they had had any
authority to do so.

PROMOTER. CREAMERIES FAIL.
Four Plants Recently Started Go To
Wall, Some of Them Heavily
In Debt.
During the last two or three years
was a' time for the promotion of
cooperative creameries in Indiana.
Quite a large number of these were
started, and some have suceeded so
far, but several have already gone
to the wall. Among those that have
failed are the Galveston, Reynolds.
Kempton and Covington creameries
all in the state The Galveston plant
cost $5,000 and wjen it closed its
doors it had indebtedness of $7,000.
Perhaps, not more than $1,000 can
be derived from the plant ..and, ma
chinery.
As is well known, the promoters
who-start these creameries care for
nothing except, to. rellthe machinery.
When: that- is dene t"J 7 let the
stockholders Holl the bag."

F. A. Forbes Receives Letter From
State Institution Which Throws
Some Light On
Problem.
The following letter from Associ
ate Horticulturist Woodbury of
Puprdue University will throw some
light o the maple scale now on the
trees in our city:
Mr. F. A. Forbes,
Plymouth, Ind.
Dear Mr. Forbes:
I have your letter of May 19 en
closing specimens of scale insects
on maple twigs.
This scale is known as Pulvinaria
Innumerabilis. It has several oommcn
names, such as cottony maple scale,
grape vine scale, etc. This is quite
common on both maple and grapes.
Its outbreaks are generally sporadic
and brief in duration owing to a
number of diseases and parasites to
which it is more or les3 subject and
which usually hold it fairly in sub
jection. Thjj cottony masses which
are just beginning to be pushed out
from under the scales contain the
eggs which should begin to hatch be-
oore very long. Where good watei
wsgnre is avauable, the insect can
be controlled fa-irl well on tnrB
by repeated drenching with cold
water from the hose about the time
the young lice are hatching out and
I rawUn tlnit oy,r tlie tri.
Spraying at this time with kerosene
emulsion is also effective but of
course is more expensive and trouble
some. Sprayin with concentrated
lime-surphur during the winter is al
so good.
With best regards, I am,
"Very turly yours,
C. G. Woodbury, Associate Horti
cultural Dept. Purdue University.
