V a | FIFTH ANNUAL Report of State Dairy Commissioner. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 3, 1912. INTRODUCTORY. The following is a presentation of the dairy conditions in Kansas for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912. Information has been given as is believed to be of importance and interest to a majority of Kansas dairymen, dealers and manufacturers of dairy products. Information along special lines and of special interest to only a few has not been included in this report, but is available on request. The primary purpose of the office is to serve the various dairy interests of Kansas efficiently with respect to the giving of information and advice in dairy matters and impartiality in the enforcement of the law. The usefulness to Kansas of the office of state dairy com- missioner for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, may be briefly summed up in the following list of its principal activities : Total office correspondence, chiefly letters of information, advice and LCE PE a SR SE aR SS Dias OOP gk, ke eine Caney ee aa 7,269 _ Complaints of violation of the law received and acted upon........ 130 Pret POPSULEAIMOCTICS, *. ox wreaterc «© soles 3 Stk 6 pris ccaleiSta nye tae s alee 32 Peper al ACE-CEAMILTACLOLICS 3 igs iu! oc Gia aca On alte are Woe see +e elehs 24 Pee ed CTY) COLA SEONG. < eivoe,s Sectate den tom Sella. w slegnis: Hone + ys mieporeaye 428 PSE E CIDER OL ECONGCOSETIOCS heri's ee mveclscp ale oles tah to een oie 8 6 wiithadeletelers 2 SEs EE I LATING 5 olan conse vine a's) + Seals Kin oe» « «9 eee, «las 67 POEM O PRION DCTINIEN 1OGILCU 5). saitoh et nie fig \yuei el ens scare ace StS. « 's Seen. «oe 879 Number of permits canceled for violation of the law............. 8 - Number of permits temporarily canceled or establishments closed up pending affidavit that necessary changes had been made..... 28 Number of samples received and tested by state chemist.......... 200 Number of samples taken by dairy commissioner and deputies.... 225 Number ot sediment =tests.of ‘market milk... 02. 6. o.oo ee 60 Amount of cream condemned as unfit for manufacture into butter PE CEU LOU OCP ALIONS ) ie oso os, ptt ees ee A wee eects 194 Inaccurate weights condemned and confiscated................... 10 Obsolete and inaccurate test bottles confiscated................... 90 New rulings formulated and passed in connection with the Board of GReTL ia eg CI fe AIR SM Tec RMI 6 apna! sm ais wie Wi nie AoBLaoal wie: w+ «gua wie 3 Grading tests manufactured, standardized and put into commercial Dee git Maat, Petals itis sasha, Saige MS TRUITs Tab a daloa Wo a igtaie's jelp)arathcw ae © + «Baie bese 18 Pos ueriis, ANC.

The best results are obtained when the operator who does the sampling conducts the testing as well.

The cheese industry of Kansas is limited to the operation of one cheese factory. We believe, however, from our observa- tions and experience, that where an ample supply of milk can be secured a cheese factory can pay more per pound for butter fat than any other dairy establishment at the present time.
