LOCAL DAIRY MEN APPROVE STATE PLAN (Continued From Page One) fees some $26 more or less a month for the maintenance of a stuto In spector, and Pendleton representa tives at the meeting sold that Pen dleton was solidly behind the Inspec tion proposal. Under the state plan the state Inspector would handle this territory unassisted, without any municipal inspectors in the field. A majority of local dairymen favored the plan, and the association ap pointed a committee of throo Bert Orout. A. Herrmann and N. K. West to confer with similar groups from Pendleton and Baker In the near future on the matter. As to .the four per cent butter fat standard for milk, both Mlckle and Harlan spoke In defense of this and alBO In explanation. Mickle said that the content of butterfat Is not Im portant from a health standpoint, since whole milk contains the fol lowing lime, milk sugar, coslen. magnesia, phosphorus, clorlde, cal cium, sulphur. Iron and butterfat. Reduction of the content of butter fat does not affect the benefits of milk as a healthful food, he said. Mlckle pointed out,, however, that a. dairyman may sell milk with more than four per cent butterfat content providing lie charges more than the regular prjco for It. At the same time. If his milk Is less than four per cont butterfat, he should charge less. It was said. f Harlan irald that' the, dairy, condi tions 1n Oregon at preaent are the best af any state In the union, and bom ho ad;Mlcklo,.urged that dairy men conform with tho' hew regula tions In the Interests of nil. Pendle ton representatives reported having thoroughly adopted the four per cent plun, and said It was working nicely In Umatilla county. 1 Today Mlckle and Harlan are hold ing a meeting ot Dnker. Joe Harrison, president of the La Grande association, presided at last night's meeting, which was very well attended. V.F.W, Sessions N earing Close At Med ford, Ore.
