New, Modern Plant For Home Dairy

By Michael Thoele ™ p A million quarts is a lot of milk ■ ! I < to process, package and dispense ‘ in one month .To handle such a ‘ task efficiently and economically 1 requires a large and elaborately 1 equipped dairy plant. Realizing 1 ihiis Del Emberlin and Stan ! Burry, owners and co-managers of the Home Dairy Products, Inc., of Berne, have recently moved the ’ firm into a completely new and 1 modern dairy plant on route 27 south <pf Berne. The dairy, which employs 80 people and processes 2(000,000 j pounds of raw milk a month, uses 50 trucks to distribute its products ( in an area which expands north to 1 Coldwater, Mich., west to the Hl- 1 inois state line, south to Richmond 1 and Kokomo, and east to Defiance, 1 Ohio. Besides milk it distributee 7 frozen foods for the IGA company and handles its. own line of in- 1 Stitiitional frozen foods. * The move to the new plant was ' necessitated by the film’s expand- ' ing operations and the lack of storage space In the old plant. About one year ago a freezer buildihg and truck service garage were built at the new plant location. ' Then, last September, construe-1 tion on the new dairy building was begun. Work was carried on despite the cold of the winter months : and operations were moved into the new building this May. The relocation was an accom-1 plishment in itself. The transfer I of machinery was begun Friday J May 17, and the new plant was in operation by the following Wednesday. To do this all the machinery had to be disassembled and moved from the old plant to the new. The installation of the equipment in the new plant required a maze > of fixtures and plumbing, and once ' installed, all major "bugs” had to be eliminated so that production ; could begin. The plant complex is comprised! jof three separate buildings, the I freezer, the truck garage, and the i (dairy and office building. The f large freezer, building is used for I storage of the various frozen foods ! which the company handles. The I temperature maintained in the building is always near 10 degrees below zero. Employes who stack food cartons and prepare shipments in the freezer wear heavy parkas and gloves. The company garage, also a large structure, houses complete maintenance and body work facilities for the firm's truck fleet. Six men work full-time in the garage to keep the fleet rolling. Dairy Process The dairy plant itself is a complicated operation, equipped to process milk in both bottles and paper cartons. Raw milk is stored in the large tanks. After being pasteurized at 168 degrees and homogenized it is transferred to other large tanks to await bottling. Much of the equipment in the plant is new, including a packaging machine, the only one of its kind in the United States at the present time, which "bottles” 33 half-gallons of milk each minute. A single endless floor-level conveyor belt runs through the length of the plant and is integral part of the entire operation, from bringing bottles to the washer to transporting bottled and packaged milk to the cooler. About 75-80 per cent of the plant's 12,500 gallon daily output is in paper cartons. The plant offipe section, which is also contained in the dairy building, employs about ten people. At the front of the dairy building is a small “dairy store" which handles a full line of dairy' products, plus home-baked pies, i Raw milk for the plant is supplied by 94 farmers from Adams, Wells, Jfp' and Kosciusko countiaj. It is transported to the plant m tank trucks which pick up the milk at the farms. After the milk is processed other trucks handle

the diversified task of distribution. Some of the milk goes to home delivery routes in the area around Decatur, Berne; Geneva and Monroe. However, a large portion of the plant’s output is sold through several distributors in Monroeville, Fremont, Topeka, North Liberty, Francesville. Van Wert, 0., and Coldwater Mich. These distributors do both wholesale and retail merchandising. Sanitation Sanitation is a primary concern in any dairy and it has not been neglected in the Berne plant All dairies must meet state sanitation regulations and the new plant, because of the area it serves, must comply not only with Indiana regulations, but also with those of 'Mfflhigah and Ohio: AIT milk-pro-cessing machinery is cleaned each day. Some of it must be disassembled for cleaning, but most of it has been designed so that it j can be washed simply bv pumping cleaning solutions through it. The machinery is first washed with an alkaline solution, then with . acid ,and finally, rinsed with water. The components of those machines I which must be disassembled are ■ washed under high pressure streams of water. The plant also has its own sewage treatment operation, a septic tank and lagoon system. The new plant has been designed with the possiblilitv of expansion in mind. Burry said that with only minor changes and the addition of more storage facilities, the capacity of the plant could be doubled from 2,000.000 to 4,000,000 pounds of raw milk per month. A grand opening of the dairy is being scheduled for sometime in August, when all construction and i installation details have been comI pleted.

Portions Os State Under Quarantine County extension agent Leo N, Seltenrigjit reported today that six entire counties and portions of 19 other counties in central northern Indiana have been placed under cereal leaf beetle quarantine. The beetle problem, which began last year in St. Joe county, has extended southward. The closest it has come to Adams county are the townships of Lake and Eel River In northern Allen county. Those areas have both been quaranteened. Farmers in areas under the quarantine, which has been issued by the Indiana department of conservation, are required to treat their grain and equipment before moving it to unregulated areas. Elevator operators in regulated areas must also treat their grain before shipping it to unregulated areas. Certificates stating that the grain has been treated must accompany every load 1 leaving a regulated area. To facilitate treatment and inspection the conservation office has appointed one employe at each elevator to serve as ap inspector and to issue grain certificates furnished by the division of entomology. Premium grade malathion at the rate of one pint per 1,000 bushels of grain is the preferred treatment because, of the long lasting effectiveness of this material. However, the conservation department has said that standard carbon tetrachloride grain fumigant formulation may be substituted where malathion application equipment is not available. This decision has been made in order to keep grain moving to market without any mdre delay than is absolutely necessary. Grain originating in quarantined areas may be taken to elevators outside if it is treated or will be treated before being shipped to terminals in unregulated areas. Terminals or processods in regulated areas mav receive grain from any source without treatment.

Entire Infield Os Cardinals OnAII-Sfars CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI)-Be-cause manager Alvin Dark ignored the players’__“mandate,” the National League AlLStar team ' will present an historic “first” next Tuesday when all four Starting infielders will be members of the St. Louis Cardinals. t *' ■ -. . ■ ■' - "*■ Usually All-Star managers in picking reserves tor their squad stick mighty close to the way the players themselves voted earlier in choosing the starting lineup. Dark followed that practice in most cases, too — but in picking a second baseman he skipped over Ken Hubbs of the Cubs, who was runner-up to Bill Mazeroski of the Pirates in the voting for the starting team, and instead picked Julian Javier of the Cardinals. And that’s what will make history in the midsummer classic at Cleveland. For Mazeroski is bowing out of the game with an injured leg muscle. And that makes Javier a starter right alongside his three Cardinal teammates who were voted into starting berths — first baseman Bill White, shortstop Dick Groat, and third baseman Ken Boyer. It will be the first time in All-Star history that the entire starting infield will be composed of members of the same team Dark had. to make one extra selection because of Mazeroski’s dropout, but instead of another second baseman he picked pitcher Larry Jackson of the Cubs. Dark ignored the players’ vote in two other spots, passing over two Cincinnati Reds who were runners-up in the balloting — left fielder Frank Robinson and center fielder Vada Pinson. His outfield choices were Roberto Clemente of the Pirates, Willie McCovey of the Giants, Duke Snider of the Mets and Stan Musial of the Cards. In addition to Spahn and Jackson, other pitchers picked by Dark were Juan Marichal of the Giants, Ray Culp of the Phillies, Jim O’Toole of the Reds, Hal Woodeshick of the Colts, and Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers. In addition to Javier, 1 other infield reserves picked by Dark were first baseman Orlando Cepeda of the Giants, shortstop Maury Wills of the Doigers, and third baseman Ron Santo of the Cubs. To back up elected catcher Ed Bailey of the Giants, Dark picked Johnny Edwards of the Reds, and Joe Torre of the Braves.
