40 Seventeenth Annual Report of the 



statement that will be fitting to convey to the mind of the purchaser the true 

 character of the product. 



It should be bortie in mind that the State brand for marking full-cream 

 cheese cannot be used upon any of the cheese above referred to. 



GEO. L. FLANDERS, 



First Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture and Counsel. 



This is believed to represent the intent of the Legislature so far 

 as the branding or marking of cheese and kindred products that 

 are manufactured, sold, offered or exposed for sale within the 

 state are concerned. This view is also in harmony with the prin- 

 ciple underlying so-called food legislation, namely, that the com- 

 modity manufactured or sold upon the markets shall be repre- 

 sented by its labeling or branding in such way as to apprise the 

 consumer correctly as to its nature. It will be noted that this 

 construction or understanding of the statute does not in any sense 

 prohibit the manufacture or sale of either skimmed or partially 

 skimmed cheese or of a product made by what is known as the 

 washed-curcl process or other processes, if there is no foreign suit- 

 stance added in the course of manufacture; that the statute sim- 

 ply regulates with the end in view of making known correctly the 

 nature of the product. During the year there have been issued 

 to manufactories within this state, under the provisions of sec- 

 tion 48 of the Agricultural Law, for use upon cheese manufac- 

 tured therein, 824 full-cream cheese brands, as follows:
