Since Mr. Odell began Work early this year he has devoted much attention to dairies with the result that six are planning the production of pr*de A milk and are meeting the requirements as speedily as possible. The dairies which he listed as grade A or working toward that goal immediately ate Meadow Brook, Montview, Cloverdale, Oak land Farm, Doughton’s, and J. M. German’s. It is probable, he said, that others will join the improve ment crusade. Anyone wishing to continue the sale of milk, he said, must meet certain requirements and be in spected regularly. All public eating places, he continued, must sell only grade A milk. The cafes, Mr. Odell said, are in fairly good shape and will soon be given ratings, which willjje post ed in the places of business and published in the newspapers. Considerable activity has been devoted to school sanitation and the sanitary inspector is working toward improved sanitation for ev ery school in -the county. Atten tion is also being given the water supply of each school. Specimens of water from supplies of various schools have been analyzed and where water is found to be impiure' steps are taken to correct the situ ation. Mr8.R.E.
