PART IX 



EXTRACTS FROM 



STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER'S 

 REPORT OF 1910 



TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL 



W. B. BARNEY, Commissioner 



The law creating the office of Dairy Commissioner requires an 

 annual report to the Governor of the state covering the dairy 

 business of the state. Later enactments make this department 

 responsible for the enforcement of the following laws : 



PURE FOOD LAW, 

 PAINT AND LINSEED OIL LAWS, 

 CONCENTRATED FEEDING STUFFS LAW, 

 CONDIMENTAL STOCK FOOD LAW, 

 AGRICULTURAL SEEDS LAW. 



The foregoing statement of expenses of this department includes 

 all the salary and expenses of the commissioner and the deputy, 

 and salaries of clerks, though only a minor portion of their time 

 and services can be devoted to the work or connected with the dairy 

 business. The law authorizing the employment of inspectors under 

 the pure food law and providing for their compensation specifies 

 the duties that they shall perform, their services are authorized for 

 the specific purposes of the food law. On the other hand the dairy 

 assistants could often do valuable work along the other lines but 

 their time is more than occupied with the creameries. 



This report going back as it does over six month's occupancy of 

 this office by my predecessor may not be as complete as it should.
