DAIRIES IN COUNTY ARE
GIVEN THE ONCE OVER
Reported That Conditions at Some of
The Dairies Are Very Unsatisfactory.
An inspection of the sources of (‘on
cord and Kannapolis milk supply, con
ducted some weeks ago by Dr. T. N.
Spencer, City Food Inspector, and Dr. S.
E. Buchanan. County Health Officer, has
revealed a condition of affairs among the
dairies that is far from satisfactory, say
tin* doctors inking the investigation.
The inspection was conducted without
any preliminary notice and caught most
of the dairymen off their guard, with the
result that many of them were found
with plaees that were not up to standard.
Many of the grades were low, so low that
it was thought best by the two doctors
making the investigation not to publish
them. It was learned, however, that the
I highest watt around 84 and the lowest in
the neighborhood of 35.
In giving his reasons for not pubTxh
ing the grades. Dr. Spencer declared it
was impossible to do so because the com
parison with other cities would give Con
cord a black eye which was by no means
deserved. "Our mi.k here is no worse
than it is in many of the‘other cities in
close proximity. For instance, the milk
in Charlotte is not of higher grade than
it is in Concord. At the same time.
Charlotte inspectors are giving their rat
ings of the dairies as high as 1)8 and ftft
and not lower than 85.
"With our ratings at such a low grade,
it would mean that Concord would be
huiked upon as a place where filthy milk
was pushed off on the consumers which is
really not at all true. As a matter of
fact, we have fated the dairies as they
should be rated with no thought of spar
ing any of them.”
Dr. Spencer then went on to give an
outline of the plans which were to be
presented to the new Board of Alder
men after their election in May. The
scheme was one which had been adopted
by Wilmington. Greensboro. High Point
aud other cities.
The milk is sent in from the dairies
daily and is graded by means of a bac
teria eount. After six months of grad
ing the different dairies are then given
labels of “A” “B”. "C” and “D” which
they have to put ou their milk bottles.
"A” milk will designate the best quality
and "T>" wil be the worst. Nothing will
be done to force dairymen to better the
quality of the milk. Public opinion and
lack of customers is supposed to do that.
From time to time, gradings will be
changed as is deemed necessary from the
bacteria counts. An inspection will con
tinue daily and will insure persons who
want good milk that they wil get the
best.
If the Board of Aldermen adopt the
ordinance. Concord will be - placed on a
parity with the other cities of , the State
in this health measure.
Every bottle of milk -will be labeled,
not only with the grade as noted from
the bacteriological eount. but it will be
labeled as to whether or not it has been
pasteurized, whether or not the contents
are raw and the percentage of fat the
inilk contains. Grocery stores, restau
rants, cases, soda fountains and similar
establishments must then state, on a card
furnished by the health officer, "the
grade of milk at the time when delivered
and whether same is raw or pasteur
ized.” _ *

against Chile was so strong that all per

to even mention the name of Chile to any
Peruvian.
