EMULSIfIED MILK
STATE DAIRY EXPERT TELLS RE-
GARDING METHODS TO BE
LAWFULLY FOLLOWED.

Brookings, Jan. lit is unlaw-
full 10 sell emulsified or homoginized
milk or cream unless the containers
are so marked that the purchaser
may know that said products are ar
t%ifieial. according to a recent opinion
from the attorney generol of South
Dakota. A. Il. Ryger. state dairy ex-
pert. has just sen a brief statement
0 fthe poinion to all milk and cream
dealers notifying them of what must
be done 10 be within the law. as fol
lows.
According TO the opinion referred
to, IL Is not legal to use the words
'emulsified or 'h~omoginized' on the
labels or brands as this would tend to
lead the purchaser TO believe that
the substance is a kind of milk or
cream which would be contrary to
facts. 1t is therefore re-
quired that emulsified and homogi-
nized milk and cream be marked OF
branded with the words. 'Artificially
Assembled Milk or 'Artificially AS
sembled Cream, as the case may be.
Any evasion of these requirements
viii be deemed in violation of the
law"
Emulsified and homognized milk
and cream are products made from
milk powder and unsalted butter
The powder is dissolved by mixing IL
in certain proportions with water
Then the mixture Is heated and the
butter added in proportion according
to the richness OF the milk or cream
desired. The emulsification OF the
mass Is accomplished by running 1t
through an emulsifier or homogni2er
under pressure.

MILLION DOLLAR ROADS
NANkTON COUNTY WOULD
SPEND THAT AMOUNT FOR
CONCRETE HIGHWAYS.

Irene, Jan. IA comprehensive
Yankton county paved roads propa-
ganda. involving the ultimate cor
struction of about 40 miles of con
crete highways, by means of 81 ,000,-
900 bond issue. is being approved by
residents of Yankton county.
The project. If completed, will give
the county practically five north and
south trunk lines. and two east and
west. including the Washington high
way and Meridian road.
The roadway would probably con
sist of a 10-foot pavement with 3-foot
shoulders of gravel or crushed rock,
giving a.16-foot hard surface. This
should cost from $1,000 to $4,000 a
mile, or a total expenditure of about
81, 600. 900. 1T is proposed that the
county issue bonds 10 this amount,
payable in twenty years, which could
be done on a 3-mill levy. Inasmuch
as the county is now practically out
of debt and has completed many per-
manent bridges and %culverts. about
LBS mills of the present taxation
could probably be released i'm the
next year. An actual increase of less
than " mills would be necessary
to pay for the improvement. Large
prospective state and federal aid. to-
gether with present very low inter
est rates. make immediate action de-
sirable.
DR.. l.. C. Mead. of the State hos
pital. is interested in the idea and
has offered the use of the hospital
auditorium for an organization meet
ing, which will likely be held within
the next few weeks. III the project
