1058	Milk	36%added water	These were milks delivered to a dairyman in the borough from a farm in East Sussex. It eventually transpired that a cowman had added water to the milk before it was despatched from the farm. Proceedings were taken by the East Sussex authority and penalties obtained against the cowman amounting to £10.10.0.

1729	Milk	3% added water	Warning given. Further sample proved genuine.
1737	Milk	1% deficient in milk solids other than milk fat.	This was taken from a large dairy company who informed me that they had discovered themselves a drop in the non-fatty solids when the milk got out on the found. As much of it was withdrawn as was possible but some of it was inadvertently issued. It was due to a crack developing in one of the plates of the pasteurisingmachine "breathing" in hot water during the fall of the pressure on the milk side which occurs at the break between holders. This would appear to be the cause and further samples were taken which proved to bo genuine.
1738	Milk	15% deficient in milk fat	This milk came from a farm and I investigated the matter. Samples were taken of all the cows concerned with the result that certain cows were found giving milk which was deficient in milk fat. They were removed from the herd. Further samples taken were genuine.
