the supervision of the department of agriculture of the state of California, and from dairies that score not less than seventy per cent on the score card adopted by the department of agriculture of the state of California; provided, however, that dairies where no two cows freshen within any four consecutive months and which are found by any milk inspecting department to comply fully with the remaining provisions of this act are hereby exempted from such scoring requirements and from the use of labels prescribed in section twenty hereof.
