TELLS HIS SIDE OF
THE DAIRY STORIES

y =. Y = h,
In your issue of Oct. 8. observed
an article headed Dairy Products
Barred From City" written by Walter
]. Frazier, city food commissioner, and
in reading over that report am In
clined to the belief that many OF the
people will make u note of the same.
from the fact that tho creamery butter
question is one that Is making IL great
stir in the whole community. AS to
the very points brought to the surface
by Food Commissioners Frazier, as the
question will naturally arise, Are the
two towns as qoted In that article an
exception in the whole state?" Which 1
think will be very much doubted. II
they are, the pure food law as It Is
enforced Is a success. But. is It within
the range Of possibility that the pure
food law can be carried out and en-
forced to the letter of the law in the
whole state with a commissioner alone
who dwells in the city of Salt Lake!
Butter of all food stuff Is one that
requires strict attention, with a clean
hand and also clean and we'll kept
cellar.
& If the Salt Lake creamery man can
afford to spend 100000 to improve his
plant to make him 100000 more from
cream possible in the state, 1t seems
to me that under the pure food law
some step should be taken to prevent
impure butter fat entering tho butter
plant
But there is question that cuts a
big figure in all business transactions:
AS the run of things today is. How
much money can make in my UNDER
taking?" Labor Is labor in all the
,,I1 1,,f., IL 40
easiest plan Is the slogan of the age.
Thus the easiest plan Is adopted so as
to get the product to the market ire
spective of its quality. or It's condition.
When We hear of cream having been
kept in crooks or jars for q week In
families with typhoid and then shipped
to Salt Lake to DO made into butter, 1t
seems to me that the city people Will
begin to look around to see II q step cnn
not be taken to improve the condition
Of things In that line. In considering
the condition of matters as found In
IndIanola and Fairview. Is 1t not with
in the purview of justice under, the
pure food law to prohibit any man OF
company to ship or receive cream un.

| port, 14O miles from q creamery, as II
! is next to an impossibility for q cream,

Now let tho wise man Judge for him
self. observed notice In the News
lately that one dealer Of Salt Lake
city had some 1000 milk cans Out
among the people Of the state. THAI
shows how many people have sent
cream to his plant. and perhaps stopped
the shipment. AS to how many cans he
has now In circulation is a question
but 1t Is safe to say that he hns many
thousands, and IL he continues to spread
out, as these many thousands of milk
cans indicate, to the north and south OF
Salt Lake City, there is every appear
ance that he will rake In oil tho cream,
of the state, so to speak.
Some two years ngo saw q state
ment made In The Descret Scmi-Wee'e-
ly News over dealers signature, that he
had spent 100000 for the purpose or
Improving his plant. Now then IL he
can make 5000 In the few short years
he has been in the creamery business
so that he could spare that amount to
facilitate his business TINT will show
what high priced butter will do, no !mntt-
ter what germs of disease there are IN
It. The Indianola and Fairview
cases. certainly ought to be WARNINGS.
If the Salt Lake creamery man Is
