   panied by a statutory declaration (for form see Schedule) to
   the effect that the conditions of these regulations have been
   duly complied with.

   able milk of the fair average quality of the condensed milk
   manufactured by the applicant during the period for which
   the bonus is available.

4. The milk must be either (a) long-keeping unsweetened
   condensed milk, made from normal full-cream milk, and

5. No application for payment of bonus will be enter-
   tained unless the manufacturers have given the department
   an opportunity to take samples whenever it so desires from
   the milk manufactured during the period with respect to
   which the claim is made, nor unless satisfactory proof is
   given to the said Secretary as to the quantity of condensed
   milk manufactured in terms of these conditions, and gene-
