100 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



Mr. Jarvis: You take those large producers, and at a cer- 

 tain time of the year there is a certain amount of garget present 

 in the milk. A bacteria, like that of septic sore throat, is pres- 

 ent. Why is that? 



Mr. Smith: If that is so, I am not qualified to answer that 

 question. I should like to hear somebody that is. I should like 

 to know it myself. 



Mr. Jarvis : Is it not true that a cow must have a constitu- 

 tion before she becomes a high producer? 



Mr. Smith: That is certainly so. 



Mr. Jarvis: How is the consumer going to know that lie 

 or she is receiving clean milk? 



Mr. Smith : The only assurance now is the assurance on 

 the part of the health authorities, the dairyman himself, or of 

 the certified milk commissions. 



Mr. Jarvis : Then it is more toward moral persuasion than 

 enforcement of legislative persuasion? 



Mr. Smith: Yes, in the absence of the actual seeing of the 

 dairy by the consumer.
