Proprietors of Diaries
Ernporve Conditions
To Comply With
State Law

Dairy products consumers in the
city may congratulate themselves
ove- the splendid report made by H.
F. Branham, State Dairy Inspector,
and read before the City Council
Monday. AS stated in a former is
sue of the Leader, an inspection of
the diaries outside the city was had
in July and the diaries given until
September 18th to improve their re-
spective places. The report which
follows shows that each of the pro-
prietors completely complied with
the states inspection laws:
MIR. Branham's Report
l visited all Of the diaries to which
| visited on July 28th and 29th and
am more than glad to report that in
every instance the suggestions made
by me in July either had been made
fully or were in a state of being car
ried out.
G. W. Brannon had been ordered
to put a concrete floor in his milking
shed, to move open closet 100 feet
or more from his barn, put solid
wall between the shed and the rest of
his barn, move manure, all of which
have been done. He has on his
premises part of the material to
build milk room.
E. L. Crenshaw was ordered in
July to build new milking shed with
concrete floor, or to concrete his
present one. A new milking shed
with concrete floor and preparations
are being made to build milk room.
AS to Guy White was ordered to put
concrete floor in the milking shed
and to put windows in the same. He
decided to build a new one and has
a nice, clean milking shed with con-
crete floor. Milk room is in good
condition.
A. B. C. Dorminey was ordered to
break cracks in the loft over his milk
ing place, to put partition between
his milking place and the rest of his
barn. This has been done and con-
siderable addition is being made for
the putting in of a greater number of
cows.
August Diemel was ordered to
move manure and build new milk
ing shed with concrete floor or to re-
pair his present milking shed. He
has repaired his old shed and new
concrete floor in a good fix.
Mrs. William Williams was ordered
to build milking shed with concrete
floor which has been done. Mrs.
Nettie Rawlins was ordered to put
concrete floor in milking shed and
solid wall between the milking shed
and the rest of the barn. This has
been done.
J. H. Howell was ordered to put in
concrete floor, break the cracks be-
tween shed and the rest of the barn,
move surface closet 100 feet or more
away from the barn. All of this has
been done.
A. G. Brown was ordered to build
milking shed with concrete floor or to
put floor in tn eshed he was then
using. The floor has been put in.
We visited the place of S. G.
Goodner and found that he needed
no instructions, that he already had
good milk room and milking shed
with concrete floor.
These people who live mostly out
side of the city limits have met the
requirements of the law at quite an
expense. It is only fair to them that
the people who sell milk residing in
side of the city should be made to
meet the same requirements. l sug-
gest to the City Council that they
get list of these people and inform
them what the law is and if they
need my assistance will come down
and 20 over with each and all of
them.
HENRY F. BRANHAM,
State Dairy Inspector.
