MILK INSPECTION
IS DISCUSSED AT
COAST MEETING

A meeting was called at the farm
advisors office in Los Angeles on
Friday, September 10, by the Cali
fornia farm bureau for the purpose
of discussing several matters of inn
portance to the industry, especially
in the southern part of the state.
The question OF duplicate inspec-
ton of milk in the cities was dis
cussed and action taken recommend
ing a uniform system of inspection
to be determined by all offices en-.
trusted with such inspection. The
fact was brought cut in talk by
Dr. Hunt, regarding animal health
conditions in Los Angeles dlstricc,
that after January ], 1881, it will ba
necessary for all cream sold in the
city to be from TB. free cows. This
ruling has applied for some time
with regard to milk and during this
time most all dairy herds have
tested.
Cal Robson, who is head of tha
] dairy department of the California
! Farm Bureau Federation, stressed
the need for dairymen to take an
active part in organization work
from the county to district and state
| wide 1t was his suggestion that tho
state be divided into three districts
| with the state chairman in charge OF
enc and vice chairman in eharga
of each Of the other two. The meet
, ing took action favoring such plan
Of organization and recommending
Al +.+a ~
Robson urged that all work for Z
| heavy "yes' vote On amendment Is
ut the coming election, saying that
it would prevent another condition
coming up similar to that during the
foot and mouth outbreak, when 1t
was necessary to pay indemnity for
animals slaughtered but with no
+! legal way to do it and would also
provide money to pay T.B. indem'
mites.
The question of how best to ham
die the surplus milk problem has
been vital one il the Los Angeles
district for some time and Carl Will
liams reported upon the success oi
! the present surplus plant which has
been in operation since early III the
year. The meeting took action ia
voring the idea of some form of or
ganization to dispose of the surplus
so that the amount actually usec
would bring fair price which wa.
never the case when the surplus wa:
allowed to enter the market. It wa
the feeling of the meeting tina
while it might be possible to improve
the system now operating, the neces
sity for some organization to TAX
care of the surplus was apparent.
Dairymen were present from al
counties in the southern part of tn
state. Joe Enz and H. G. Farms
worth were present from Imperia

STATE OFFICER
HERE TO STRESS
PURE SEED LAW

w. +. Henson, formerly of Bard,
now with the State Department of
A griculture, is in the valley this
week acting as enforcement officer
under the pure seed labelling act.
The act provides that all CONNER
cial seed must be labeled so that
customers can tell accurately what
they are buying. The label must
state the percentage by weight OF
purity, the percentage by weight OF
weed seed, must name the noXious
weed seeds present, and the percent
age of termination. 1t must also
give the date when the test was
made, and the name of the vender.
Not only is Henson concerned with
enforcement work, he contacts the
farmers and shows them how to in
terpret these labels and profit by
the tests. Much OF the ever increas-
ing weed trouble in the valley is due
to the fact that farmers are not re-
cleaning their seed but are planting
weed contaminated seed each year,
thus increasing the crop of pests
and cutting down the quality Of
their crops, he said.
"Of course it is up to the farmer
whether he uses clean seed or in.
tested seed, but the state is giving
him chance now to buy the best
grade of seed, the responsibility IL
the matter being left up to the in
dividual," Henson pointed out.
Henson is much interested in the
successful weed cleanup that has
taken place recently in Santa Ma
ria and its environs. In this eXten
sive crop raising area all public
agencies as well as farmers and ship
pers have banded together to cleal
! up weed pests. The result is tha
Santa Maria, from being one of th'
worst infested regions in the state
| is now one of the cleanest anC
producers and shippers are reapins

for Santa Maria Valley produce ant
