![Last year I commented on the transfer of the production side of milk to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, and stated that this was in my opinion a retrograde step. I still hold to this view as, in so far as I can ascertain, there is still little or no supervision of the methods in operation on the farms. One hnal point I would like to comment on, and at the same time to make an appeal to the general public, is that of people taking dogs into food shops, in many cases allowing them to go freely about the premises. Fouling of the food does occur and I appeal to dog lovers to assist both the Council Officers and the shopkeepers in this important aspect of Food Hygiene. The accompanying tables set out the nature and scope of the work carried out by the Department during the course of the year.
