SURPRISE TEST
ON MILK SHOWS
CITY In LEAD
Diaries Here Have Rating
of 94.6 Per Cent, Contest
Records Reveal.

a rating of GAG per cent was Civ
en- FL Centre S milk supply in a re
cent surprise testing contest con
Quoted in the valley by the bureau
of dairy control, headed by DIR. +
p. Gingerich. This rating is re
garded as unusually high and oc
casioned considerable comment
among the officials of the contest.
The other cities were given the
following rating: Holtville: 94.2
Calexico, 92.9; Brawley, OIL; Cali
patria, 90.4 and Imperial, S3.s.
This rating was the result of 6
surprise milk scoring contest held
by State representatives, who at ir
regular intervals score the milk sup
ply, samples being taken from the
regular delivery as it reaches the
consumer from day to day. Sedi
ment, flavor and odor are scored on
the individual samples on the day
Of the contest. However, the bac
terial counts. butterfat and solids
not fat are the average of the total
samples analyzed since the last SUP
prise contest held in this city.
Milk scoring is a part of the ser
vice extended by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to all local de
rartments where milk is graded. T.
Centre is on the list of approved
cities where an inspection depart
ment grades its milk supply, and il
actually means that such a depart
ment is guaranteeing to the public
that the milk is of the quality as
indicated by the grade on the bot
tie cap, and furthermore, that this
guarantee is backed by the State
Department of Agriculture.
Milk and milk products serve as
one of the most important sources
of food for all civilized nations
The more highly developed and pros
porous the people, the greater the
amount of milk and dairy products
they consume.
McCollum. in presenting the re
suits of his Investigations in human
nutrition. has stated: "The keeping
of dairy animals was the greatest
factor in the history of the develop
ment of man from a state of barbar
ISM" A large part of the best
agricultural lands of the world are
utilized for the keeping of dairy
cattle. 1t is a well known faci
that the most prosperous nations, as
we'll as the best developed physical
ly and mentally, are those in which
the dairy cow is the foundation of
agriculture.
Much credit is due to Or. T. A
Burger, Health Officer, and the
cooperation and interest shown by
the dairymen and milk dealers foI
the uniformly high quality of thC
