To the editor of the Derry Journal.
sir-I WINS greatly surprised on read
ing the handbills announcing the hold
ing of the tuberculosis Exhibition to
find that the veterinary profession in
this city had been completely Ignored
for what reason It is difficult to say. II
is an established fact that human
tuberculosis is Identical with that
found in the lower animals and inter-
communicable; that milk taken from
infected cattle and infected milk Is ac-
countable for the heavy infantile NOR
tality at present prevalent in this
country. Now. If this is so, why
should a subject such as the prevention
of tuberculosis rot be treated by those
best qualified 20 do 50, viz, veterinary
surgeons Seeing that the eradication
of tuberculosis in cattle and the puri-
fying Of the milk supply lies mainly in
the hands of veterinary surgeons the
least they should expoct is that they
should be asked to take part-rhank-

in declaring that the situation in that
section is fully as favorable to an
early revival of business prospects as
that in any other section OF the coun-
try.
THAT the industrial depression should
have been so widespread and serious
in the South. is due, think" said Fin
ley. mot so much to fundamentally
unfavorable economic conditions as to
the general uncertainty rs to the future
which has prevailed and to the conse-
quent tendency of American people
generally to economic in their ex-
penditures.
"The question Of how soon a revival
may be expected to begin is one which
no man can answer with certainty,
for the reason that some Of the reasons
for the business depression are
psychological This' being true the
most important result to be brought 10
creation of a constructive sentiment
based on faith in ourselves and the
future.
Throughout the South the banking
institutions are in sound condition, and
although their managers are generally
pursuing careful and conservative
policies, sound business enterprises are
generally able to obtain all the credit
needed. From most localities come re-
ports that southern farmers are in u
prosperous condition, and have sub
