MILK
Fewer complaints with regard to milk have been received
during the year and, in spite of the transport difficulties
that still prevailed, the milk generally has been in better

Dairies and milkshops have been inspected and a number
of samples taken for bacteriological examination.
In one of the large dairies a new mechanical churn
washer has been installed and is giving good results.
