Move Probable
TO Define "Grade A"
Milk in the State

A bill providing Tor regulations
which would prevent milk dealers OF
the State from selling an Inferior
product under the label of Grade A.
milk, will be introduced at the COM
ing session of the Legislature, 1t Is
anticipated. Many milk dealers are
now labelling their milk as Grade
A." when In reality II is no better
than the average and 1t Is to remedy
this situation that an attempt will
be made to secure legislation.
Under the present law. the Maine
commissioner Of agriculture has the
authority to designate standards fo-
different farm commodities including
foods, but in view of the present
standard for milk 1t seems doubtful
IL the commissioner could make fur
ther standards without special au-
thority from the Legislature. The
legal standard for fAilk Is 1926 per-
cent of butter fat and Ills percent Of
total solids.
It Is of interest to note that the
Massachusetts legislature at it's last
session passed a law authorizing the
department of public health, subject
to the approval of the governor and
council. to make rules and regula-
tlOnS ana eStdDnSn STANDARDS Tor inc
production, processing and sale OF
Grade A" milk. including fat STAN
dards. bacterial standards and sani-
tary standards. providing that such
standard shall not be below the STAN
dards for milk now or hereafter pre-
scribed by law.
Regulations have been drawn up
In Massachusetts requiring that all
Grade A" milk shall be pasturized
within the state and shall not con-
tain more than $4,000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter and not less than
four percent Of butter fat at the time
IL Is delivered to the customer.
1t Is very probable that the bill to
be introduced In the Maine Legisla-
ture will include some OF the essen
tial features of the law in Massachu-'
sets. In Massachusetts, the author
ity to draw up the regulations Is
given to the department of public
health. but the bill for this state will,
probably designate this authority to
the department OF agriculture mas
much as the dairy division is in
cluded in that department.
