The new law in regard to the state
dairy commissioners duties is now in
force and Commissioners Barney Is
planning to make the law as to milk
dealers' licenses mean something right
OF. He has issued . few licenses. in
cases where he has certain knowledge
that the applicant IL prepared to serve
clean and Wholesome milk; but the
great majority Of the licenses asked for
have not yet been sent out.
milk dealers must show, and do 1t
now. that they are competent to engage
in the business and that they keep their
places clean and sell good milk. Those
who fail in this regard will get no IL
censes or have them revoked.
Commisioner Barney has In con-
sultation with him this week DR.. o. p.
Thompson, one Of the dairy experts.
and they are planning how to make
this new law effective and get the best
results. It IL probable that before IL
censes are generally issued some per-
sonal inspection Of dairies will be made
in different parts Of the state. At any !
rate the dollar fee 10 not 20 be all Of
the benefits Of the new law.
