=== YEA CHRONICLE 13 Feb 1896 ===\n LETTERS TO THE EDITOR\n [We do not hold ourselves responsible for -correspondents' opinions. Discussion on public topics invited, but personalities cannot be permitted.]\n THE MILK TESTS AT FLOWERDALE CREAMERY.\n TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE\n Sir,-In the report of the Yea Dairy. Company, which appeared in the CHRONICLE of 30th January, the chairman of directors, Mr. D. McLeish, accuses my son of not honestly giving the milk tests. After my son had received notice to arrange for a transfer to another creamery (which he declined to do), meeting Mr. McLeish in Yea, I spoke to him on the subject. He said he had no fault to find, but that I had bad neighbors sending reports to them. I may state the cows I am milking at Flowerdale at present were last year milking at the Muddy Creek. and the test there was the highest for some time. Will Mr. Bett state through your paper how he managed to get a 3\"1 test of my milk, as he has never taken as low a test before or since? Thanking you in anticipation,-I am, &c., JOSEPH CLEELAND, Flowerdale, Feb. 10.\n\n === NORTHCOTE LEADER ===\n --- Saturday 28 September 1918 ---\n\n PIONEER PASSES AWAY.\n\n MR.
