CAN FARMERS
RETAIL MEAT?
THUS QUESTION IS BEING DEIJAT--EI)
BY MANY ItlNCOLN COUNTY
PEOPLE.
I
"Following a visit to North Platte
Tcccntly of tmo of the officials of the
Stato .Department of Agriculture,
ti report was circulated that farmers
could not butcher their animals and
sell tho meat-to meat markets and at
retail. .Secretary bare of the .Chamber
of Commerco was questioned and In
order to get tho straight of tho matter
ho sent tho following telegram to
Leo Stuhr, secretary of tho depart
ment of agriculture, Lincoln: "Aro
tho farmers prohibited under tho pure
food act from killing cattle and hogs
and selling tho carcasses to retail
dealers nnd from selling on the
streets? Wire reply.", Tho following
is the reply received: "No stato licensee
required to sell meat products must
bo handled in a sanitary manner."
From this it is evident that anyono
can butcher and sell fresh meat pro
vided that the meat is handled In a
sanitary manner. Tho law gives the
I secretary of agrlculturo tho authority
to toll what is moant by sanitary man
ner and the business of tho Inspector
horo to find out if tho meat sold in
Nortji Platte was belling handled that
way. Ho did not give out any inform
atlon--for publication but suggested
that prosecutions would follow proof
that meat was not being handled In
tho approved way. He is roportod to
have Baid that open air killing was not
sanitary and that meat prepared In
tho opon air could not legally bo sold,
Tfiis is only a report with us and nvxy
not bo correct. Additional Information
is on tho way and will bo supplied'
our rentiers as soon as possible. j
