Resolutions Relating TO Dairy Sit
uation.
The North Dakota council Of de-
tense realizing that great and need
Tess waste of shipping space, man
power and food results from present
methods Of handling and shipping
dairy products in the bulky, hlgnIy
Iperishable raw state, do hereby SUB
init the following resolutions to the
federal food administrator Of this
slate for his consideration.
| Whereas, there now occurs in this
! state, and in other states as re-
isult Of cream shipments originating
lin this state, an actual loss and
WASTE OF human food in the form Of
cream and butterfat, occasloned by
fermentation and mechanical loss
due to excessive and unnecessary
length and delay in shipment of
cream, and
Whereas, large amounts of valu-
able food for livestock with the &C
companying fertilizing value, are
wholly lost to the state, or lost,
wasted. or unevenIy distributed from,
or among, communities Of this state
as a result of shipping cream for
manufacture into butter excessive
and unnecessary distances within or
out Of this state. and
Whereas, it is the patriotic duty
of ell parties producing, handling or
manufacturing dairy products to
protect and conserve fOodstuffs, and
Whereas, the present method Of
long and unnecessary shipment Of
a bulky and highly perishable food
product is not in accord with the re-
quirements Of our national govern
ment as regards shipping space and
shipping facilities.
| Therefore, be it resolved, that this
body, the North Dakota state coun-
! ell of defense, request the federal
food administrator Of the state to
tissue a statement advising the pub
tlic Of the aforesaid wastes and losses
land recommending that all cream in
tended for local manufacture or ship
/ yaent be delivered at the local cream
| cry or shipping point in a fresh un-
tfermented condition, and that same
be protected from unnecessary de-
ferioration and delay in manufac-
ture for shipment and that whore
| shipment is necessary such shipment
be made so far as possible and prac-
! teal to the nearest manufacturing
plant.
