However. it is well to know and remember that if bread is handlea by a typhoid carrier, it is possi- ble for typhoid bacilli to be gsmeared on the outside of the loaf; And since bread is usuallv eaten without heating, and verv often soon after it reacnes the consumer, it may readily be the means of conveying inflection. In a. recent number of the Journal of the American Medii'al Association appears a paper on the bacterial contamination 01 bread. The writer says that out of a hundred loaves of unwrapped bread nurâ€" chased from as many Eiffel-exit shops in the city of Chicago 11 per cent. were 0am owned with more than 10.00” l‘uc'wii-i. As might be expected, loaves pur- chased at clean shops. \x‘izere all Bread is a practically universal article of diet. It is usu‘auy hand- led by several persons, often ex- posed to flies and street dust and sometimes tossed about under very uncleanly canditions. This is particularly true of bakers’ bread, which is obviouslv liable ‘to pick up dangerous bacterial con- tamination. Yet in his search 'for germ carriers and disease breed- ers the bacterioloogist has said little about this common food pro- duct the surroundings are iavora’ulc. have not nearly so many germs clinging to them as those kept under generally dirty conditions. While eleven wrapped loaves ob- tained in clean shops bore on the average only 371 Lacie-rm ouch.- more than half of the 1113?: rapped loaves (6.5 .pei' cent.) were mated with over 1.000 bacteria. Still, it is said to be. obtain a sale for ‘.‘.'l‘:1 in certain city district prospective mimmsnr testing the quality 0 by pinching the lanf and finger. ' The fact that bread is :1 gonn- carrier should not act as ascare- crow to the housewife. nor cause her to attempt to losscn r11“ broad supply. It should cause her to take more care in selecting Mn place from which she buvs hm ad and to look \xith moxe favor up m the .1.- nmed loaf. By “possible” is meant the actual results which have been obtained by our Experimental Farms and by many farmers. These “possibles” have been obtained under intensive culti- vation methods and conditions not altogether possible on the average farm, yet they suggest the great possibilities of in- creased production. By greater care in the selection of seed, more thorough cultivation, fer- tilization, better drainage, the average could be raised by at least one-third. That in itself would add at lea st $153,000,000 to the annual income of Canada from the farm. It would Le a great service to the Empire, and this is the year in which to do it.
