INFERIOR MILK
AIR RAIDS UPSET COWS POLICE CHARGE DISMISSED (United Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 27 A Glamorgan farmer’s plea that air raids had upset his cows and caused them to give inferior milk has been upheld in the Barry Police Court. The charge against Charles James for selling milk deficient in fat was dismissed. A dairy instructress, in evidence, said that after another raid she visited James’ farm, and found that only four out of 21 cows, from which she took samples, gave the presumptive standard in butter-fat content. She took samples from another farm after the raid, and found nine out of 15 cows gave milk under standard. “Individual analysis of cows proves that, like human beings, some are more affected than others by strange happenings,” said witness. “ Cows, after the raid, were nervy and jumpy.” Defending counsel drew the analogy of a nursing mother being upset by fright, when it was general knowledge that the quality of the child’s food suffered.
