Mr. John Masscv referred to the difficulties which would confront the dairy farmers under the new regulations. He said that it would be impossible to obtain such a standard ail the year round. Mr. I. Cray moved, "That the Government, before finally lixmg the standard for milk, be requeued to make inquiries of scientists, daivvmen, milk-factory managers, and Government farm managers, and. if necessary, arrange for a series of experiments to ascertain if 3.25 was a fair average test." Mr. Milieu seconded the motion. I Mr. Tanslcy, representing the Mi ! k Vendors' Association, agreed that the standard was altogether too high.
