38 AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



ability to impart to the dairy farmer advice regarding the eco- 

 nomical production of sanitary milk. Additional inspectors 

 would, of course, be necessary to carry out this recommenda- 

 tion. Therefore, it is an impossibility, under the present ap- 

 propriation. 



Conclusion. 



Throughout my report there is evidence that dairy inspection 

 is limited in its work, due to the small appropriation of $4,ooj 

 a year. Many of my recommendations are impossible unless 

 the appropriation becomes greater. However, I trust that the 

 feeling aroused in some of our larger cities, demanding 

 "cleaner" milk, will stimulate an action that will bring about a 

 larger appropriation by some future legislature. Ten thousand 

 dollars can easily be used in this work. 



I wish at this time to thank you for the courtesies shown 

 me and for your untiring aid and advice. The clerical and 

 other members of the Department have rendered their willing 

 services at all times. 



Respectfully submitted, 



CLIFFORD W. WESCOTT, 



State Dairy Inspector.
