Cream inspection in minnesota.

Editor Dairy Record AS practically
very reader OF your valuable paper is
leeply Interested IN the enforcement
III our state law which prohibits tho
ale OF impure, unWholesonle cream
u It's manufacture into butter. 1t ma
DC OF interest TO call attention to the
plan which the department intends u
SoiloW out IN prosecuting the work.
First, the law is framed in better
!hapc than the n we operated un-
Ter Last year. In fact there Is evi-
lently sufficient strength in tine law to
'rlng about all thai any law can pos
lbly accomplish. 1t remains now to
enforce it with all the means we have
II hand.
In order to be fully Informed as to
our powers under the new law. and
- know just what plan II follow IN
rider to be working in full harmony
With the letter OF the law. the whole
natter was submitted TO the attorney
General OF the state. and the plan as
outlined below is the one decided up
an after this conference.
Inc department has full authority
20 condemn impure. unw!olesome
,renm. but has no right To destroy 1t
VI damage 1T by pouring IN Kerosene
81. etc. After it has been condemned
VII parties are prohibited from max
ng it into butter. Ii may be used for
t~@''t ~ sS A.4th..I<p HlSSls1G
or soap.
our plan is to condemn this cream
md seize 1t. holding it until we can
earn from the shtppe- just what dis
>osal we shall make OF 1t. Upon his
"rltteh order We may destroy or re-
.urn IL. This plan will only be fol-
Owed out IN the case of the first vio-
alton. a second shipment Of the
iream will be followed by seizure and
prosecution. In such cas- the crean
Sill be seized in the Name Of the state
and disposed of by direction of the
court at the conclusion of the trial
IF creamery owners and cream bly-
.rs are In position ~ make the CON
elnned cream into grease or eoap they
Alll be allowed To do go under the su-
2ervision of the inspector who has
condemned the crsan Returns will
.hen be made to the shipper, the price
BASED on what the oil in the cream is
.urther that the law will be carried
out In such case the inspector Will de-
lanG access to the of the
,re;!n buyer. Notice OF the condem-
sation OF the cream and the usual first
will be sent TO the shipper.
Creamery owners end buyers who
'"fuse To manufacture impure and UNI
wholcsoine cream into a food d
VII, OF course. be exempt from prose-
.nti"il. The department has been AS
silrrd by practically all the prominent
:ieain buyers in the state thai they de-
sire iullG to comply with the law and
'Fe ANXIOUS 10 Cooperate with the de-
paflinent IN correcting conditions as
,n'y nave existed formerly. ii course
ms VIII he Welcomed by the depart
ilcnt as We can accomplish more I'm
ms way IN any line Of our work. Thov
Nil be called upon to demonstrate
.neir sincerity in this matter by hold
dAS an cream which arrives in bad
condition until the inspector can call
and condemn it. OF course this plan
can only be followed oui in The large
nue.: where AN Inspector will make the
every day. This plan is now
n W ofking order AID thus far the large
cream buyers are doing their part
