Kaasaohuaetts law allows us to issue a Temporary Cortiflcate to All 

 those dairy farms that had not b'>en inspected In the previous twelve months. 

 We did not Issue any Temporary Certificate's in Ttas.-jachusotts eit^xer on 

 June 30» 1962 or on June JO, 1963 because all the dairy faros have been 

 accounted for and inspected within the twelve nonth period. Our wen have 

 done an excellent Job In r acordiniz these fame that formsrly Vield certlf- 

 ioates of registration and are now out of business. There were no Tempo- 

 rary Certificates Issued December 31» 1962 to out of stote farms because 

 there were only a few that had not b^^en accounted for in the previous 

 twelve months, and later the majority o f these were found to be out of 

 p oductlon. On June 30, 1963 there were about 2,1+50 certificates Issued 

 In Massachuset s. This is approximately 200 less than last year. 



Considerable interest has been shown by the Univeralt/ of Massachu- 

 setts in expanding the Biastltls control program. They are desirous of 

 having us turn over two additional men to the task of collecting niore 

 sajtples. If we did this, the loss of two men on farm inspection would 

 not let us cover the milk ahed In one y«»ar. Ther»:fore, we have requested 

 two iRore men In next year's budget.
