To the Citizens of Welsh
This is to certify that we, the
undersigned members of your City
Board of Health, have inspected the
Welsh City Dairy, operated by Mr..
j. F, Grosh, and take pleasure in
saying that we have found his dairy
barns, and milk house tn first class

compliance with the State regulations
governing the operation of dairies.
And we believe that in as much as
Mr.. Grosh has gone to the trouble

State regulation, in order that the
citizens of Welsh, La. should be

eminently prorer that he be given the

every citizen in the community who
has the industrial development OF this
section at heart should make it a point
to come out to this meeting.
The primary purpose of the meeting

ing Cattle for market, dairying, silos
and kindred subjects.
These subjects are of the most vital
interest just now to the people in the
Welsh Country. We need all the in.
formation we are able to obtain along
these lines and it is hoped that the
people will respond to this opportunity
to hear discussion of these subjects
by the best men we have in these lines.
