G The ]lkaltir Bulletin January, 1927 the great majority of people who contract tuberculosis, even in later years, do so through exposure in childhood, and several years of undernourished physical condition in early childhood makes it more probable for that disease to be contracted. The Tenant Fai'mer In the matter of undernourished children in migratory occupation, the tenant farmer here comes in for considerable attention. The more humanitarian and enlightened land owners today are recognizing the fact that a good garden, plenty of chickens, and a good family cow are just as essential to the making of a good cotton or tobacco crop as a time account at the supply store. Furthermore, all classes of land owners are beginning to realize that such a provision and such a requirement is good business. The rapidly increasing industrial expansion in this State affords employment in mills and factories to an increasing number of I>eople. The greater number of such operatives are recruited from small towns and through the small towns from the country districts proper. In other words, the tenant farmer and his family is the ground log of mill labor in North Carolina. Therefore it is important for the tenant farmer to be supplied with plenty of milk for his children, because, first, it contributes to their health and happiness and prosperity and so makes him increasingly content to stay on the farm and save money with which to purchase a farm of his own. It enables him to stay in an environment that he loves and is satisfied in, to send his children to the consolidated schools and therefore provide them with a good common and high school education. And for those who for various reasons find mill life more attractive, the children that go into service in such mills when they grow up have better health, have a foundation of good physique, and are thus able to make more money and to live better, and provide better facilities in turn for their own families when they set up homes of their own. We have at hand no statistics to prove it, but the impression prevails that the consumption of milk among tenant farmers and their families and factory workers is below the average of people in other avocations. Such an impression is probably true because of the fact that it is hard for the tenant farmer who has no home or land of his own and who moves from one farm to another almost every year, to find it possible to take care of a cow unless the landlord insists on it and makes some provision for the easy upkeep of his cow. Naturally it is impossible for the average family that works in a factory to keep a cow. In the first place, for most of them it would be an economic mistake, unless they live far beyond the mill villages where they would have room for the cow's upkeep. Naturally for such people a good quality of milk at a reasonable price is an important consideration. The pro-viding of this commodity affords a market for an increasing number of dairymen around the small mill towns as well as providing a necessary article of food to people who need it. A Safe Milk Supply One reason for the deficiency in milk consumption in this State probably dates back to the days when typhoid fever existed on every block and nearly every farm in the summer time. AYhen called to see such cases in the days before the whole-time health officers and organized health departments, the physician naturally looked for the cause of the contagion and generally cha;*ged it up with considerable accuracy to the milk or water. This is because milk and water make admirable vehicles for the propagation and transmission of typhoid germs. Today under the expert supervision of dairy and food inspectors, the enforcement of milk ordinances, and the rigid care exercised in the provision of public water and food supplies affords a more and more safe milk and water supply than ever before in the history of the State. With the approved public water supply free from contamination available for a third of the people of North Carolina, and with seventy-five per cent of the cities and towns in the State purchasing milk protected by a standard milk ordinance promoted by the North Carolina State Board of
