Wilmington, Jan. 30—Dairies operated by Melvin Heaton on the Federal Point highway and Thomas Boykins near Sea Gate were closed today by order of the board of health because of their failure to employ standard methods and install modern equipment in handling their product. Neither will be permitted to sell milk in city or county until rules and regulations laid down by the board are complied with in every detail.
Neither dairy was up to standard for class C milk and since there are no lower classes the health department was obliged to revoke their permits. Boyken, hwo was operating a six-cow dairy, will retire from business.
Heaton, who operated a 12-cow dairy in the southern section of the county, may move his cows into modern barns and continue to handle milk. Like Boykin, his cows are healthy and safe but his methods and equipment not up to standard.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Monday, Feb. 1, 1926. Newspaper spelled last name “Boykins” on first reference and “Boykin” after that.
