Balderson, Philadelphia, president | of the Interstate Milk Producers’ As: sociation, under date of December 31, 11920, and stated that Mr. Enxles in- i closed the rough draft of a bill which { could be used in connection with lg- islation in Pennsylvanla to prevent ! the manufacture and sale of filled milk in that state.
