THE DAIRY COMMISSION
Sir,—lt is to be hoped that the Dairy Commission will consider not only the price of milk but also the price of butter. True, we have been promised Jd per lb more for this season, but . our factories have warned us not to expect much (at the end of the season) as that will all disappear in added costs. Perhaps we are not expected to need much. With trousers at 39s 6d, and gumboots unprocurable, we may in time be able to go naked. Anyway, why not look at the drainage, etc., of some of the cow-sheds. Zoning does not make dirty milk. What use inspectors repeatedly visiting one shed (finding no fault) and never being seen a few miles further out at others?— Yours, etc., 80-HOUR WEEK. . April 6, 1943. [The Medical Officer of Health (Dr. T, Fletcher Telford) said yesterday: "At the present time, my inspectors when sampling milk from the producers at their farms are also definitely inspecting the conditions of the dairies and surroundings. This is done with the consent of the Dairy Division of the Agricultural Department.”]
