furnishes an incentive for improvement. An example of legal 

 recognition of the score card is as follows : 



" Standard Based on Score Card. No milk shall hereafter be sold 

 or offered for sale or exchange in the city of New Brunswick which shall 

 be produced in rlairies having a rating below 60 per cent, as based on the 

 score card adopteil by the Board of Health, City of New Brunswick, State 

 of New Jersey." 



Improvement in Richmotid, Va. The score card has been 

 found a useful means for recording the improvements in the 

 equipment and methods of milk production. The results ob- 

 tained by Levy (12) in Richmond, Virginia, are most striking. 

 The inauguration of a system of dairy inspection in which the 

 score card was u.sed gave opportunity for recording the change 

 in dairy conditions from month to month. The results are 

 given in tabular form below.
