CLEANLINESS ON DAIRY FARMS
Sir. —I notice by the Herald that Mr. Singleton is still commenting adversely on the "se of electric water-heaters on dairy farms; but I think the lack of proper use of electric water-heat PI'S find the almost total lack of inspection of milking sheds is the real trouble. The whole system of inspection i s wrong when an inspector is partly paid by a particu]ar company and only visits that company's suppliers. It simply means that if an adverse report is made the farmer concerned threatens to go over to another company. I know of a man who openly admits, even boasts, that he supplies a proprietary company in order that lie will not be bothered by inspectors. Should an inspector chance to visit that shed one day, I shudder to think what would happen to the inspector. I. am afraid ho would not survive the shock! While these things are allowed to continue, New Zealand butter will never reach the high standard it- ought to. Dairy Farmer.
