HEARINGS BEFORE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE. 59 
Mr. Burueson. At what points do you conduct this inspection of 
meats intended for export trade? 
Mr. Satmon. At all the large packing centers. There are fifty or 
sixty different centers where we have them. 
Mr. Burteson. The bulk of the money expended for meat inspec- 
tion is for the inspection of dressed meats, is it not? 
Mr. Satmon. Yes; the inspection at the time of slaughter. 
Mr. Buriteson. What percentage of it is for the inspection of 
dressed. meats? 
Mr. Satmon. About $75,000 a month is for the meat inspection. 
Mr. Burtxson. That is all for dressed meats? 
Mr. Satmon. Yes, sir. 
The Cuarrman. I think the doctor does not understand you, Mr. 
Burleson. Not dressed meats, but canned meats and everything. 
Mr. Satmon. Of course we inspect all the animals slaughtered, no 
matter what the meat goes for. 
Mr. Haveen. It is inspected for interstate commerce, too. 
Mr. Satmon. Yes. I believe you were going to ask me a question, 
Mr. Wright? 
Mr. Wena I was asking where your quarantine for the port of 
New York is; at Garfield? 
Mr. Satmon. At Athenia, N. J. It used to be at Garfield, but we 
had to give up that station and ‘ve went to Athenia, 2 or 3 miles from 
Garfield. 
The Cuatrman. Are you going to have a deficiency this year. 
Mr. Sautmon. No, sir; we are not going to have a deficiency; but we 
have got to put some work on contagious diseases—sheep scab, and so 
on—on that $500,000 which you appropriated last year for contagious 
diseases. 
The Cuarrman. For the foot-and-mouth disease? 
Mr. Satmon. Yes, sir. 
Mr. Bowie. It would be a deficiency as against the $1,200,000? 
Mr. Satmon. It would be a deficiency against that; yes, sir. 
Mr. Burteson. There would be $250,000 of that diverted for the 
cotton-boll weevil. You have considered that, have you? 
Mr. Satmon. Yes, sir. 
Mr. Bowrs. That was really a million-dollar appropriation. We 
called it a $500,000 appropriation, but it was really a million dollars. 
Mr. Satmon. Two $500,000 appropriations; yes. The dairy inspec- 
tion will cost a little more than it has cost, but not very much. The 
inspection of renovated butter, you remember, was put under the 
Bureau of Animal Industry, and last year, which was the first year, 
there were 82 factories inspected and put under supervision, and the 
total output of renovated butter was 50,000,000 pounds. Out of this 
we inspected for export 1,312,000 pounds. 
Mr. Bowie. I would like to know something about the result of 
that renovated-butter inspection. You probably found the renovated- 
butter people were guilty of some things they were accusing the 
oleomargarine people of. 
Mr. Scorr. That is res adjudicata. 
Mr. Satmon. We found some pretty bad lots of renovated butter. 
I admit that. 
Mr. Burixson. It was a very wise action on the part of Congress 
to require an inspection of renovated butter, was it not, Doctor?
