ONLY GRADE A MILK IS BEING SOLD IN BREVARD Authorities Refused to Allow Grade C Milk to Be Sold in County.

In Buncombe, as well as in many other counties and cities, grade C milk is being sold today, but none here in Brevard and Transylvania. One large Asheville producer requested permission to sell grade C milk here, but following a sur vey of milk production in the coun ty, this request was not granted on the grounds that enough milk is being produced in the county to supply all local needs. Hart stated. He said there are now 6 grade A dairies in the county that pro duce between 300 and 400 gallons of milk daily and sell it to the Transylvania Dairies. “Two more dairies are now un der construction and will be in operation in the near future,” he said. The new dairies are Wolfe’s dairy, located at Pisgah Forest, and King’s near Brevard. Wolfe will have approximately 20 cows | and King 10. The six dairies now in operation are Blake’s, McCrary Dairies, East View Farm, Sunnyside Dairy, Hart’s Dairy and the College Dairy.
