ICE CREAM. 



During the summer of 1914 large numbers of samples of ice 

 cream were collected in various parts of the State. An attempt 

 was made to cover the larger towns quite thoroughly. Practi- 

 cally all of the places that were found in 191 3 to be selHng ice 

 cream below the standard were visited and samples taken. 

 Whenever a sample of ice cream was found to be nearly up to 

 the standard or samples were found to run under, in the case of 

 makers that had been found all right in previous years second 

 samples were taken before reporting the results of the first 

 examination to the person whose goods were sampled. In the 



Note. The Commissioner of Agriculture is the executive of the law 

 regulating the sale of foo-i in Maine. It is the duty of the Maine 

 Agricultural Experiment Station to make the analysis of the samples 

 collected under the direction of the Commissioner, and it is the duty of 

 the Director of the Station to publish the results of the analyses 

 together with the names of the persons from whom the samples were 

 obtained, the names of the manufacturers and such additional informa- 

 tion as may seem advisable. All correspondence relative to the inspec- 

 tion laws should be addressed to the Commissioner of Agriculture, 

 Augusta, Maine.
