The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-12-21

Dairy Commissioner John HUSKY pre-
venting cream buyers from handling
cream in certain specified locations
and barring from the cream room
certain other commodities will ma
| terially improve conditions in the
North Dakota dairy industry, state
ment issued at the dairy commits
sioner's office today said.
The order was issued because the
cream business was carried on in
! many instances in the same room
| with other businesses and lack Of
sanitation resulted, the statement
| said. The new ruling not only al
fects the kind of cream room which
must be used, but the commodities or
articles which may be handled in
connection with the cream in a cream
| room.
A check by the dairy commissioner
of all the cream stations in the state
showed that SO per cent were classed
! as undesirable buying locations, the
statement said, and 62 per cent were
in separate rooms or separate build
ings.
Variety of Places
The check showed that cream was
being handled in the following
l'places: kitchens, open stores, nipple
ment offices, produce houses, butcher
shops, barber shops, hotels, bakeries.
granaries, light plants, jewelry stores,
garage offices, warehouses, open
easements, shoe repair shops, grocery
stores. elevator offices, lumber Of
fees, pool halls, filling stations, fire
halls, tailor shops, post offices, hard
ware stores, harness shops, dwellings,
to,, yfs INT in, 70
tions in separate buildings and sep
arate rooms in other places of bust
ness.
Another undesirable feature, the
statement said, was the fact that
many other commodities were being
handled in the cream room which
caused contamination of cream as
food product. The list of such COM
modities compiled by the dairy COM
missioner shows the following items:
machine oils and greases, smoked and
fresh meats, fish, lard rendering watts,
dressed poultry. photograph records,
gasoline and kerosene, shoe repair
materials, poultry food, groceries,
dressed hogs, china ware, tinware,
| harness oils and watts, lighting bat
teries, flour, stock food, hardware,
beefhides eggs, tobacco, grass seed,
cleaning mills, live chickens. shoes,
sheet music, barrel vinegar, overalls.
seed corn, grain, gas engines, stock
dips, punches, feed, family remedies,
sausage machines, wool, Irvine, in
sect powders and paints.
March l Is Limit
! At recent meeting, the statement
said, the subject was discussed with
the operators of creameries in order
that they might know the conditions
under which cream is purchased. The
list of locations in which cream is
bought was presented and they were
asked to approve any of the locations
, if they so desired. After considera-
ton, however, they decided that all
of the bad buying locations should
be eliminated after March |.
Continuing the statement sad:
! "The same committee upon being
presented with list >of commodities
to be handled in the cream room
carefully considered each item with
the final result that they barred
twenty-three and approved fifteen
which they thought could be handled
in a sanitary way.
1.-THE recommendation of the OPP
orators in this respect was accepted
by the Commissioner and his depu-
ties with one reservation, namely.
that if any of the items that were
recommended to be handled in the
cream room were found to- be handled
in an unsanitary way at any one
point, that same item could be barred
from the cream room at that point.
The final decision, Therefore, will Be
left in the hands of the commissioner
and his deputies to determine width
err or not any of the approved items
will pass the sanitary requirements
as laid down by the rules"
A Step Forward
Commissioner HUSKY is optimistic
with reference to results to be OBJ
tanned from the new ruling. He feels
that IN gaining his objective Of hav-
ing separate cream rooms or sep
arate cream buildings, he thereby
eliminates 38 per cent of the most
undesirable buying locations of the
state. He considers this is a tremen.
dosu step forward. He also feels
that by eliminating % of the mos,
undesirable products handled in the
