STATE DAIRY AND FooD COMMISSIONER
DERTHIc is quietly agitating the necessity
for the State to enact a law fixing the
standard for milk. 1t is his belief that the
minimum should be fixed at 81 per cent.
Of fats. As the law now stands there is no
standard, the State simply imposing a fine
of fifty dollars for the adulteration of
milk. In Columbus the board of health
has fixed the minimum of fats at per

general law fixing 1t would prove very
beneficial to the consumers of milk.
