Senator Slayton of Lamoille intro.
duced joint resolution which may
have far-reaching effect. This is
resolution requesting that out of the
state agencies which may inspect barns
in the state, in connection with the
milk supply, confer with the state
board of health and the commissioner
of agriculture on adopting methods of
conducting the inspection. This resolu.
tion was referred to the committee on
agriculture.
Called upon by Senator Villas to ex-
| plain the purpose of the resolution, Sen
ator Slayton said that it had been
| found in connection with these inspee-
tions in the past that many barns had
| been condemned where the milk supply
was later found to be pure and a num-
Der Of barns had passed as in good CON
diti0n where the milk supply when
analyzed, had been found to very far
from pure. Senator Slayton said that
it is the method of handling the milk,
rather than the condition of the barn,
which really counts in this matter, and
he thought that better results could be
obtained by testing the milk at cream
cries.
