Show It Is Unlawful To Sell Haw Milk It is apparent that certain persons per-sons have taken too much for granted from the newspaper report of the opinion from the office of the Attorney General concerning the distribution of raw milk to the public. In a letter dated September Septem-ber 9, 1947, addressed to Mr. R. Harvey Dastrup, Commissioner of Agriculture, the Attorney General said, "It is manifest that my opinion op-inion of July 1, 1947 addressed to Lloyd B. Peterson, County Attorney of Grand County has been given a much more liberal interpretation than was intended or warranted by the conditions which exist in Utah affecting the distribution of milk to the public." ' The milk pasteurization regulation regula-tion was adopted by the State Department De-partment of Agriculture in the interest in-terest of public health, prohibiting the sale of raw milk to the public, either selling raw milk in violation of this law and unless such practice prac-tice is .discontinued the Department of Agriculture has no alternative in the matter but must take legal steps to stop such offenders.
