  	Jonas Is Granted Producer Permit Latest farmer to be granted a dairy farm producer permit by the Manitowoc health department is Harry Jonas of route 1, Mishicot. The permit, which authorizes the production of milk to be distributed in Manitowoc, results from an extensive program of dairy farm modernization recently completed by Mr. Jonas. Realizing the advantages of shipping on a grade A fluid market, he has remodeled his dairy facilities for greater ease of operation and to comply with various sanitation requirements. The dairy barn on the Jonas farm has been altered to provide more stantion space for the herd. Additional glass block windows and ventilators have been installed for improved lighting and ventilation. An entirely new milk house has been erected adjacent to the dairy barn, with an intervening vestibule for necessary fly and odor control. The milk house is equippped with a cabinet hot water tank and a twin compartment wash basin with hot and cold running water provides convenient hand washing facilities. Using a mechanical cooler, Jonas cools his milk to a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or below after morning and evening milking operations. The milk is then shipped to the Kornely Guernsey Farms dairy for processing and bottling. The water supply is furnished from a drilled well which has been checked for compliance to the state well construction code. A bacteriological analysis by the state cooperative laborator of hygiene at Sheboygan showed the water to be of sanitary quality. Two Rivers Reporter Mon, Oct 30, 1950 ·Page 3
