Informed the board@ of supervisors
of Humboldt county that it has rails
ed funds in excess of three-quarters
of million dollars, with which to
buy the north and south Dyerville
flats and portion of Bull Creek
flat. With the assistance of the
Humboldt officials, it is expected
that negotiations will be carried on
with the owners of this timber. and
that the groves can be purchased
and decided to the state as public
parks.
The Dyerville and Bull Creek
flats are located about 46 miles
south of Eureka and about go miles
north of San Francisco on the Red
wood highway. They are necessary
to the proper rounding out of the
present IA mile strip along the high

Results Of Surprise Milk Tests
Throughout County Are Given; d.

The public. in Imperial Valley
Will now obtain protection secured
through a graded milk supply. As
result of an Investigation and Of
fetal surprise milk scoring con-
test of all market milk in thetcoun-
tv, just concluded by representa-
tivcs of the State Department of
Agriculture, Sacramento, the milk
inspecting departments of FL Cen
tro, Calexico, Brawley, Holtville
and Imperial have been awarded
state approval.
Much praise was given the work
Of Ross f. Crane, inspector for the
local department, for his successful
effort in raising the quality of the
milk to the required standard. The
Investigation of the state officials
showed that the quality of the milk
has been improved in each of the
essentials over previous eXamina-
tions conducted. State approval per-
mits> the local inspecting depart
ments to grade their milk supply.
The grading of milk is simply the
classifying and labelling of the pro-
duct. according to definite and
legally established quality standard.
Wherever grading is permitted the
local health departments virtually
guarantee the quality of the milk
as indicated by the label, thus Civ
ing the public definite index as
to the quality of the milk offered
ON the market. Furthermore, this
guarantee is backed by the State
Department of Agriculture.
The grades of milk recognized by
law are certified, guaranteed, grade
a and grade b. These grades are
uniform and represent the same
standard of quality wherever found
in the state. In order to secure
the approval of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture. it is required
that each inspecting department
meet the state standards Of effici-
ency in the manner of conducting
the field and laboratory work. This
places tho work of all approved
milk inspecting departments on a
uniform basis.
There is an increasing demand
throughout California for state ap-
proved milk inspecting departments.
The public is more and more in
sisting upon the graded milk sup
ply, realizing that such product
is Il safe milk and at the present
time over three fourths of the mar
ket milk sold in California is grad
ed.

il in such condition as to make il
attractive and serviccable for or
CARNATIONS, such as the city coun-

general terms the taxpayer may de-
